She has a history of making racial statements that cause controversy.
I used to watch her once in a blue moon on FOX. She was very serious and passionate in her insistence that Santa Claus is white!!! She made the same impassioned claim when it comes to Jesus.
Anyway, NBC gave her over $60 million to join their network after she made a splash taking on Trump in 2016. That's way more than the other morning show hosts make. And, she's reportedly created a very tense working environment and has not delivered the ratings they'd hoped for.
I think the black face comment was probably just an excuse or final straw to justify booting her.
As far as 1st amendment rights......they don't apply on the job in private business. The employer determines what's allowable or not. She might win a settlement if there's nothing specific in her contract that applies to her statement and NBC just wants her out though.
