Morphine Prince 110,007 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 CNN severed ties with Jeffrey Lord Thursday after Lord tweeted, “Sieg Heil!” in what he characterized as an attempt to “mock” Nazism and fascism. “Nazi salutes are indefensible,” a CNN spokesperson said. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.” The brouhaha began as a tangle between Lord and Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog group. MMFA has been supporting an advertising boycott of Fox News’ “Hannity,” and Lord wrote a column in the American Spectator Thursday castigating the group as “anti-free speech bigots who, in typical fascist style, make it their mission to shut down speech they don’t like.” It was Lord’s second column in as many days on the subject. In the first installment, he compared MMFA to the propaganda machines in Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy. When Carusone responded to Lord on Twitter Thursday to point out his name was misspelled in the headline of Lord’s column, Lord responded, “Sieg Heil!” In a barrage of follow-up tweets, Lord contended invoking the Nazi salute was a way of “mocking” Carusone and the organization. Lord did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After the “Sieg Heil!” tweet, Carusone issued a statement on Twitter calling for Lord’s firing.
