„…we have to terminate our relationship with you.“
Melissa Rolfe is the stepmother of former police officer Garrett Rolfe, the man now facing 11 charges for the shooting of Rayshard Brooks. Until yesterday, Melissa worked for a mortgage company in Atlanta called Equity Prime Mortgage. But last night on his show, Tucker Carlson reported that Melissa had been fired.

“Apparently she was fired and her only crime was being officer Rolfe’s step-mother,” Carlson said. He went on to say that she had been promised her job was safe and then was suddenly told “we have to terminate our relationship with you.” According to Carlson, no other explanation was given.
Sometime after Carlson’s segment aired, the company released a statement on her termination which they also posted on Twitter.

Notice that the statement is framed in a black square, similar to the ones many companies were using to show solidarity with Black Lives Matter a few days ago.
