A pharmacy worker in Texas has been fired after she said that she was disappointed Donald Trump‘s shooter missed.
Christine DeShazo, who lives in Arlington, put a post online just hours after the attack took place with the caption: ‘Damn, they missed.’
In another comment, she wrote ‘half of America right now’ above a cartoon of a dragon riding a rocket from the hit Disney movie Mulan.
Guardian Pharmacy Services told DailyMail.com that she was now no longer working for the company.
In a statement, a spokesman said: ‘The employee has been terminated and her personal views are not reflective of our company’s beliefs.’

One user wrote online: ‘Who would want to get their medicine from a pharmacist who wants over half the US gone? Fire this woman.’
A second said, ‘Jeez. If you go in for a prescription with a red hat, will she give you the wrong medication? Crazy’, while a third added: ‘This person, packing up your lifesaving medication!’
It comes as several healthcare workers, nurses and others are investigated or suspended from their roles over similar comments.

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are expected to be impartial — or to show no favor to patients based on political affiliation, sex, ethnicity or other characteristics.
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, which trains pharmacy technicians in the US, says online: ‘Pharmacy technicians shall provide services with impartiality and fairness. They shall not discriminate or show favoritism in the provision of pharmacy services.’
Receptionists are also generally expected to be impartial towards those they serve, particularly in a healthcare setting.
Anthony D’Esposito, Republican congressman for New York’s Fourth congressional district on Long Island, said: ‘Promoting violence in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against President Trump is horrific.
‘We must send a clear message that this will not be tolerated, especially from those employed in the healthcare field who take an oath to aid and support all people.’
