A Muslim Texas nurse named “Ahlam” was fired after posting a TikTok video suggesting she would not treat patients if they watch Fox News.

Libs of TikTok exposed the nurse, posted her TikTok to X and tagged her employer, UTMB Health in Houston, Texas.

The nurse posted a video of herself ‘peacing out’ and refusing to treat a patient based on their political views.

“When I walk into my patient’s room and Fox News is blasting,” the nurse said in the caption of video showing her backing away and leaving the room.

According to Libs of TikTok, Ahlam’s social media account has been scrubbed and made private.
