In a shock to the news cycle yesterday, popular Fox News host Andrea Tantaros revealed that she was joining a growing chorus of women accusing Roger Ailes of sexual harassment. She says that she was sidelined at the cable news channel after she complained about his behavior around her – you can read more about that here.
But I’m betting that this is just a right-wing conservative “Never Trump” conspiracy and that she was fired because she’s adamantly pro-Trump!! MERICA!!!
At least that’s what these people believed:
#Outnumbered Meghan McCain is anti Trump & she says so daily.Andrea Tantaros was pro Trump & got fired.What gives? Bring back Andrea.

@realDonaldTrump Andrea Tantaros is now gone from Fox news. Reportedly she was too "pro Trump". Great commentator. Fox's loss.

@therealcornett I can’t stand to watch bitter Megyn any more. Reports she was behind Trump supporter, Andrea Tantaros getting the boot.

What “reports” you say? Twitter memes!! The source of all Trumper Truth!!
The #KellyFile should do a segment on how you influenced the firing of Andrea Tantaros because she supported Trump! pic.twitter.com/0Q2QhIkTju

This lady literally just rewrote the tweet in all caps to give it that extra Trumper-truth edge:

Ironically, this next moron made further unsubstantiated accusations against Megyn:
@AbnInfVet Same with Andrea Tantaros. 2 Trump supporters, both gone. Megyn Kelly down on her knees for him

I would like to hear from Andrea Tantaros.
Fired from @FoxNews for being a loud Trump fan.
She has no incentive to protect Ailes.@politico— Ra (@Surfpicks) July 7, 2016
Careful Judge, you give to much support to Trump and Ailes will FIRE you like he did Andrea Tantaros. https://t.co/nCW2ainL1r

Uhh… Judge Jeanine has been allowed to spout off her pro-Trump cheerleading without even mentioning that she got $20k from Trump, but apparently they believe she’s being oppressed or something.
@realDonaldTrump @StarSpangled500 @FoxNews @AndreaTantaros I don’t think it’s fair to dump Andrea Tantaros just because she supports Trump!

These are endless – and they’re all 100% sure of their conspiracy theory even though there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever in favor of it.
Let me get this straight Fox gave Andrea Tantaros time off for something in her book and in favor of Trump So much for Freedom of Speech
— Henry (@memeguess01) June 18, 2016
And word is that Fox fired Andrea Tantaros for her pro Trump anti est GOP rhetoric. Should have her own show, notMeg https://t.co/frILzkGfTt
— Frank (@sportglide1) June 11, 2016
They even talk like Trump – “word is” that they believe anything as long it supports their political agenda.
Then there’s this dimwit accusing the sainted Dana Perino!!!
@Pudingtane Dana PeRINO has a close friendship with Rogers Ailes. She was mad about Andrea Tantaros being pro-Trump and got her fired.
— Victor Sharp (@VictorSharp) June 6, 2016
I wanna know why Andrea Tantaros got purged at FoxNews.
Did Perino & Gutfeld boot her for Trump support?
Sounds like a job for @wesearchr.— John Rivers (@JohnRiversToo) May 26, 2016
Morons.
And to show how respectful they are of other Trump supporters, here’s a pro-Trump guy making obscene suggestions to Andrea:
Guys, seriously, do you think Trump would benefit from a live TV bj from Andrea Tantaros? I feel it could seriously… pic.twitter.com/zMa6LfLPq3

Let's petition FOX to bring back Andrea Tantaros. And cut Ailes access to the ladies. Andrea supports Trump https://t.co/gLSMzoWR70

This last entry has a link to an entire post devoted to the conspiracy theory:
Well, I guess if you’re willing to believe all the idiocies that bubble out of Trump’s maw, then this crazed conspiracy theory really isn’t all that far-fetched.
Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if people are STILL pushing it…
