Melissa Francis, a Fox News anchor, revealed Friday that while she worked at CNBC she was ā€œsilencedā€ by management for questioning the math of Obamacare while on television. Her announcement is part of the ongoing ā€œGrubergateā€ news, after the video of Jonathan Gruber surfaced a week ago.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Obamacare ā€œarchitectā€ Jonathan Gruber is the center of a supposed government scandal regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), some are calling ā€œGrubergate.ā€ Gruber ignited a controversy with comments suggesting that Obamacare only passed for lack of transparency and stupidity of the American voter.

ā€œCall it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to passā€¦ [I wish] we could make it all transparent, but Iā€™d rather have this law than not.ā€

Gruberā€™s comments have enflamed the American public and everyone has a response, and even the Obama Administration has chimed in with the White House disputing his claims. Melissa Francisā€™ broadcast arose because she felt ā€œcomplicitā€ to ā€œGrubergate,ā€ because she tried to illuminate the cost of Obamacare bill but was stopped from doing that.

ā€œWhen I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didnā€™t work, not the politics, by the way, just the basic math,ā€ Francis said.

ā€œAnd when I did that, I was silenced. I said on the air that you couldnā€™t add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else.ā€

ā€œI pointed out that it couldnā€™t possibly be true that if you like your plan, you can keep it. That was a lie. And in fact, millions of people had their insurance canceled.ā€

Francis said that she was reprimanded several times for saying that Obamacare did not add up.

ā€œAs a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told that I was ā€˜disrespecting the office of the presidentā€™ by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth.ā€

Anyone who would get hired by Faux News as an anchor has no credibility as a journalist.

How is she at Fox Panty Shots?

The response from CNBC to Francisā€™ claim that she was ā€œsilencedā€ was that it is ā€œlaughable,ā€ reported NY Postsā€™Page Six.

ā€œThatā€™s laughable, but we take notice, because as the fastest-growing network in prime time, weā€™re always on the lookout for high quality comedy writers and actresses.ā€

Francis said she was not sure what CNBC was trying to say in their response Sunday during a follow up broadcast; that video can be seen below.

Only if they are misinformed.

Feed them a constant supply of nonsense and all you get back is stupidity.
