Former CNBC reporter Melissa Francis declined Monday to name the cable network manager who she said “silenced” her for “disrespecting” President Obama in her reporting on Obamacare.

Francis, who is now a Fox Business Network anchor, opted to keep the name to herself despite a derisive response from a CNBC spokesman who called her claim “laughable.”
