A freelance CNN contributor reportedly tweeted praise for Hitler on Sunday amid the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas.

In a since-deleted post, Adeel Raja, a journalist based out of Pakistan, wrote, “the world today needs a Hitler,” the Washington Examiner reported.

Raja has freelanced for CNN since 2013, according to his LinkedIn account, working on several stories for the network during that time, the report said.

After learning of the post, CNN cut ties with Raja.

Why MSNBC? I would think there is a place for him in the White House.

They went from “We have no ties” to “cutting ties” in one day

They cut ties only because he was exposed.

Praise for Hitler?!?! That’s almost as bad as if he’d been a Trump supporter!

(That’s sarcasm for anyone who can only read literally... Think Babylon Bee.)

When you're a leftist who believes a man can turn into a woman or vice versa anything is possible!

He deleted the Hitler tweets, but Barking Mad's now preening about being fired and drawing an insane amount of ratio attention to himself, from fellow-traveling mudslime goons, that he's gonna regret.

I don’t care to research it, but I wonder if this idiot ever said or posted to social media that “Trump is literally Hitler” or something similar. Then voted for Biden.

One of the most appalling things about this is that it's really not surprising--and worse, that it is surprising that CNN fired him!

The honest man or woman has absolutely NO confidence in CNN or any of the mainstream news media outlets. They are all utterly appalling. And that is one of the most frightening realisations once can come to.

That’s the typical mindset of Arabs in the Middle East. And that’s who the Left supports.

Raja has freelanced for CNN since 2013, according to his LinkedIn account...
...and I suspect LinkedIn has stated that his occount would remain active and unrestricted.
