A CNN contributor who had a history of praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler saw the broadcaster cut ties with him after his latest missives.
Adeel Raja on Sunday posted on Twitter, “The world today needs a Hitler.” He later deleted the post.
“Adeel Raja has never been a CNN employee. As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some newsgathering efforts from Islamabad,” a CNN spokesperson told news outlets in a statement. “However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity.”
The spokesperson initially said he had never heard of Raja, the Washington Examiner reported.
A review of Raja’s Twitter history showed he has posted positively about Hitler, who oversaw the Holocaust, multiple times.
In 2014, Raja wrote, “My support for Germany is due to what Hitler did with Jews!”
“Hail Hitler!” he also said.
Raja defended himself on Monday, responding to a tweet that claimed he lost his job because of other missives about fighting between Israel and Palestinians in the Middle East.
“Glad a single tweet contributed to the #Palestine cause and brought it to limelight with me loosing [sic] my job and the West’s claim of Freedom of expression and human rights!” he wrote.
Raja has since altered his LinkedIn profile to say that his employment with CNN ended in May after nearly eight years. He is listed as an executive producer with ARY News.

Why would they fire him? All CNN anchors think the same way. Just not all of them have said it in public.
Why? After all,
"This is CNN."
Dummy, you should have praised Stalin and kept your position forever! And maybe won awards. Hitler has a bad name.
How long before some Mossad style vigilante groupe makes this guy a visit?
ping
Perhaps “The Squad” will find a job for this person.
Did he also say, “And I’m that guy!”?
He’ll land on his feet with a new gig as Ilhan Omar’s campaign manager.
I have absolutely NO confidence in CNN or any of the mainstream news media outlets. They are all utterly appalling.
He’s been making these kind of remarks on Twitter since at least 2014. Twitter never even bothered to suspend him.
Makes you wonder what kind of people are making policy at Twitter. Same with his network.

CNN didn’t want him muscling in on their plan it might slow it down.
Director Yossi Cohen, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Commie thugs have pulled the wool over the eyes of their base... You're right - the biggest advantage we had over Hitler was his evil was so over the top, so horrible, so inhuman - that even hearing his name said out loud is a creepy experience all these decades later. Hitler defines the concept of evil. The left was able to sugarcoat Stalin... his evil is confused and mixed up with the stupidest political philosophy known to mankind: Marxism... That game changer allowe him the intercultural cover of two bit power grubbing phonies...
Well, heck, every Republican president since Eisenhower has been called Hitler, So he must want more.............
Are we sure he wasn’t just promoted?
The world is full of Schicklgrubers, including the protozoa that infest the Communist Nonsense Network.
