CNN ended its relationship with political commentator Jeffrey Lord after he tweeted “Sieg Heil” on Thursday.
“Nazi salutes are indefensible,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.”

So true.
Jeffery and Kayleigh. Wow! On CNN, there will be no free speech allowed when it is truth.
The circle is complete. No more opposing views at CNN. I know they’re peeing their pants over there.
He must’ve said something that was the truth. That would get him fired from CNN
Dinesh D’Souza apparently has a new book showing the the Nazi’s got all sorts of ideas for their Hope and Change from the ‘Rats practices of governing the South.

He was obviously calling the other guy a fascist.
I’ll look for it. I know black genocide booster Margaret Sanger was a real inspiration to Nazi geneticists.
Don’t you think it’s a sign?
CNN must be in full blown panic mode, paralyzed with fear to air any opposing view, whatsoever, and frantically defending evil by persecuting truth, in the Media Matters vs Jeff Lord dust up.
If little, mild Jeffery Lord sends them over a cliff, this means CNN has imploded their credibility.
Many, many people have been fired or harassed because of something terrible or even something innocent they have tweeted or posted on facebook. I stay away from them.
Oh how I hope it’s a sign. Nothing would do my heart better than to see that place implode then maybe someone with the money could start a new network that welcomes all points of view but leans to the right......like FoxNews......or the way FoxNews used to be.......sigh
So who is going to be the punching bag in their 20 man roundtables?
Actually, it’s called a Roman salute but I wouldn’t expect the ill informed at CNN to have a grasp of factual knowledge.
CNN just fired Jeffrey Lord for calling someone a grammar Nazi. The purge of Conservatives in media continues.
