A local meteorologist who worked for Milwaukee’s CBS affiliate was fired from her job after she posted criticism on social media denouncing Elon Musk as a “Nazi” over his controversial arm gesture at a pro-Trump rally.

Sam Kuffel, the weather reporter for CBS 58, was let go by the station a day after she posted two items on her Instagram page condemning Musk.

In one post, Kuffel commented on an image of Musk at the podium, writing: “Dude Nazi saluted twice. TWICE. During the inauguration.”

"Meteorologist Sam Kuffel is no longer employed at CBS58,” CBS 58 news director Jessie Garcia wrote to staffers in a memo that was obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel."

This is huge, President Trump and those in his orbit will no longer tolerate mischaracterizations just to rile the crazies on the left.

“She’s got a balcony you could do Shakespeare from”

Which is probably how she got the weather gig to begin with.

Well that explains how she got her TV job. It’s hilariously vain of her to think anybody cares about her political ruminations.

The gesture Elon made was an obvious “My heart goes out to you.”

Always remember that whomever see on the legacy media outlets, they stand over a 99% probably of having a laughable education, which naturally results in them being leftist...and most probably obnoxiously leftist. This ‘wx reporter’ is an example...and besides doing the ‘Nazi salute’ trivia, probably actually believes in human caused climate change. The part that puzzles me is that the tv station actually fired her leftist **s.

She should be fired - for stupidity. Anyone who thought Musk was giving a Nazi salute is too dumb to work.

I think it was her use of the F word that got her fired. If she would have just posted the picture and left it at that, she might still have her job

It could also have something to do with language in her contract about professional conduct and representing the station whether she’s at work or not.

Likely, and likely she ain't that bright.

You are so right but it isn’t just television it’s just how so many Mexican women dress. Too much makeup and not enough clothing.
