A top executive at a Western New York hospital has been fired for comments criticizing President Donald Trump and his supporters on Facebook.

The Buffalo News reports a spokeswoman for the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo confirmed Saturday that Laura Krolczyk, Roswell Park’s vice president for external affairs, has been fired after an investigation into remarks she made about Trump and the coronavirus pandemic.

The Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute, also in Buffalo, told the newspaper that it placed Lisa LaTrovato, its director of development, on leave for her comments exchanged with Krolczyk on Facebook.

“Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else ... and not go to the hospital," Krolczyk wrote on Facebook, according to screenshots posted online.

“I think they should be the only ones in packed churches on Sunday," LaTrovato responded.

The comments were in response to an article about the Trump administration balking at paying General Motors $1 billion to produce ventilators.

“Wow, just wow, so your saying we decide who lives and dies based on political views? Great plan," another Facebook user wrote with a thumbs up emoji.

“That’s literally what he’s saying. Take your ‘wow’ and comprehend what your hero is saying," Krolczyk replied. "Your hero is saying YOU don’t need a ventilator. So don’t take one.”

“Also don’t cash your stimulus check. It’s all a hoax. Chew some ibuprofen and be on with your day," Krolczyk added.

According to the Buffalo News, the politically charged comments went viral Friday when Republican operative Michael Caputo shared a screenshot on Twitter.

“Is it your public health policy to assure Trump voters are infected with COVID?” Caputo tweeted, urging his 37,000 followers to call the two medical institutions and complain.

The Buffalo News reports Krolczyk and LaTrovato both previously worked for Democratic politicians. Krolczyk worked for Hillary Clinton and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), and LaTrovato worked for the late Rep. Louise Slaughter.

Krolczyk earned $226,580 working at Roswell Park in 2019, according to public payroll records.

Roswell Park told WGRZ that Krolczyk’s comments do not reflect the hospital’s views.

“We have always been and continue to be a center serving everyone who needs us. That is core to our mission, our culture and the experience our patients and families can expect every day,” Roswell Park said in a statement, without naming Krolczyk.

“This behavior is not tolerated at Roswell Park. If any team members act in a way that does not accord with that commitment, we will take swift and appropriate action, just as we did in this instance.”

Hauptman Woodward, a nonprofit research institute, said it was “addressing this regrettable personnel matter directly with the individual involved, who has been placed on administrative leave pending further internal review.”

.@HWMRI @RoswellPark Is it your public health policy to assure Trump voters are infected with COVID?



Why are your senior executives advocating this sick strategy online? For the love of God, you both exist to fight disease!
