Palin Says Being Fired Was Hard

December 1, 2015 · 8:32 pm ET · 47 Comments

Sarah Palin told CBN News that she took her unexpected firing from Fox News last summer very hard.

Said Palin: “Some things happened that I haven’t talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out. Next morning I got word, ‘Oh, we no longer need you anymore.’ ”

She quickly added: “Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News. They’re a private enterprise. They can fire someone for wearing the wrong color tie that day – that’s their prerogative and I’ve been on both sides of the hiring and firing.”
