A former MassHealth employee reportedly compared enforcement of mask requirements to Nazi Germany and anyone who had a problem with he comments should “report me.”
Someone did and she no longer has a job.
Denise Foley, 60, is no longer MassHeath’s director of internal and external training and communication following a series of comments in a private Milton Facebook group, according to the Boston Herald.
The newspaper reported the comments started on Dec. 3 when within the group of about 12,000 members, a discussion began about a mailer neighbors received about turning in neighbors who aren’t wearing masks.
Foley, the report said, responded to the post, “Sounds like what the Nazis did in Germany.”
The report said Foley followed up the comment with another that said, “How dare anyone try to take away my rights! I have the right NOT to wear a mask if I don’t want to. I have the right to gather with friends and family if I want to. If that’s a problem for you or anyone else, report me!”
The report said Foley included her place of employment on her Facebook page making it fairly easy to identify where she worked for anyone who wanted to identify her.
Foley was placed on paid administrative leave on Dec. 21, and fired on Jan. 27, the newspaper said.
As a result of her termination, Foley told the newspaper that her first amendment rights were “trampled on” and she plans to file a lawsuit against the state.
