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.

To be expected.
“Dummy, you should have praised Stalin and kept your position forever! “
Stalin made Hitler look like a piker but we all know why Hitler has the worse rap.
Sometimes an apple is just a banana. The most trusted name in news.
Not to be rude or anything, but this guy is an obvious nut job and a adherent of the Grand Mufti, but shouldn’t he have said HEIL, not Hail.
I mean he makes the rest of the mass murdering psychos look bad when he quotes stuff wrong.
The Nazis also kept good records, and the Allies documented the liberation of the camps. The Left loves communism, and hates fascism. The commies won. Joe McCarthy is treated as a bigger threat that the USSR or traitors were.
How very organized of the Communist Nazi News Network (CNNN)
So does this mean Donald Trump is not the modern-day Hitler? Good of you to admit it finally, CNN.
Only did so, because he got caught.
Under a real Hitler, this little brown perv would soon be soap.
why do i think he’d be one of the first to disappear if he got his wish...
This time I really am surprised. They have their unrestrained idiot loudmouths all day and now care about the targets for the first time? Then Don Lemon and Jake Tapper and the rest will have to stop slandering Trump and us. No, not as headline making.
Funny for the cheap distancing attempt ——gosh, he wasn’t like really a full time staff employee.
Ha, ha.
Strange world - so many wrongs that need righting...
We can’t have a Hitler, we’re stuck with Joe Stalin.
OMG, he just said what CNN believes!
They admire Hitler, because they are with Democratic Socialists of America workers party.
But...diversity.....

Hitler. There was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon....TWO COATS!
The world doesn’t need a Hitler. A Pinochet, on the other had, would be extremely valuable. Maybe Bolsonaro can grow into the role. :)
Don Lemon agrees with him CNN
