Her firing not only draws attention to the reporting, but makes it clear that the Republicans are totally cool with the abuse (because otherwise their response would be shocked horror and promises, no matter how empty, to fix things), they just don’t want anyone to know about it, nor continue to look into it (which further suggests there are more horrors to be uncovered as well).

What an atrocity: The abused folks, mainly, and Ms. Knisely. I read the article, went to their contact page and sent the question, “Why was Amelia Knisely fired?”. Checked the “Yes, respond.” box. We’ll see.
