Former KGNS reporter fired for not taking vaccine creates GoFundMe

LAREDO -- Former KGNS reporter Barbara Campos — who was let go from the company after not getting vaccinated, as required by company policy — recently created a GoFundMe account stating it is for acquiring money to join a lawsuit against the parent media company.

The account titled, “Help a Texas TV Reporter Fired for Refusing Shot” has raised $375 over two days and states it has a goal of $5,000.

According to Campos, various employees fired from Gray Television Licensee, LLC are getting together to file a class action lawsuit against the company. She says with the account she will be able to get the needed funds to be part of the lawsuit as she continues to survive financially thanks to a small business she opened up.

“With this GoFundMe, I decided to raise money because I am working together with all of the other employees who were fired,” Campos said. “And I just want to raise some money on my behalf and also to be able to cover all the expenses for anybody else who might need the help who is part of our group.”

a moron willing to give her a win, an appeals court would knock it down. She would be indebted beyond anything GoFundMe might possibly raise.

Morons, be morons, though. Her attacks on her former employer now render her largely unemployable in the field.
