CNN Drops Pro-Trump Analyst Who Tweeted ? Salute In Response To Typo
CNN on Thursday cut ties with pro-Trump political commentator Jeffrey Lord after he tweeted the words “Sieg Heil!” at a liberal activist who pointed out a misspelling in his headline.
“Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network,” a CNN spokesperson told TPM by email. “? salutes are indefensible.”
Lord on Thursday tweeted a link to his column criticizing the “fascist spirit” of Media Matters for America president Angelo Carusone, whose surname he misspelled “Corusone.”
“Why do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you don’t take yourself seriously,” Carusone replied.
Lord responded with a ? salute.
The exchange was the latest volley on Carusone’s and Lord’s public disagreements. Carusone on Wednesday said one of Lord’s columns was “? and filled with lies,” an allegation Lord responded to in his later misspelled column.
Lord made headlines in 2015 when he suggested Republican strategist and CNN contributor Ana Navarro could not be an American and a Latina at the same time.
In 2016, he called the Ku Klux ? a “leftist terrorist organization” and said House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) was “racist” for condemning Trump’s attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican heritage.
Most recently, Lord drew ire in April by calling President Donald Trump “the Martin Luther King of healthcare.”

Longtime Fox News host Eric Bolling reportedly sent unsolicited text messages with photos of male genitalia to at least three of his colleagues, according to a scathing new report from The Huffington Post.
At least a dozen sources linked to Fox News and Fox Business spoke with Huffington Post on condition of anonymity and the recipients of the alleged photos confirmed the contents of the text messages, which they said they found upsetting and offensive.
One of the women told Huffington Post she responded to the text message, telling Bolling to never send her photos again and she received no response.
A Fox spokesperson told TPM: “We were just informed of this late Friday afternoon via the Huffington Post inquiry and plan to investigate the matter.”
Bolling’s attorney told Huffington Post that he “recalls no such inappropriate communications” and that Bolling doesn’t believe he sent them.
Bolling is not the first Fox News affiliate to be accused of sexual harassment or assault. Fox News chairman Roger Ailes resigned last year after host Gretchen Carlson sued him for sexual harassment. Former host Bill O’Reilly was ousted in April after the New York Times reported he and 21st Century Fox had paid at least five women $13 million in settlements for sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior on O’Reilly’s part.
Bolling — a loud critic of former New York congressman Anthony ? — is a host of “The Specialists” and has worked at Fox News and Fox Business since 2007.

Fox New host Eric Bolling has been suspended while the network conducts an investigation into whether he sent photos of male genitalia to female colleagues, a Fox News spokesperson told TPM Saturday.
“Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway,” the spokesperson said.
Bolling is the co-host of Fox News shows “Cashin’ In” and “The Specialists” and has worked at Fox News and Fox Business since 2007. “Cashin’ In” was taped Friday morning and was pulled last night once the station was made aware of the allegations, the spokesperson said.
Rotating substitutes will replace Bolling on both shows until the investigation is complete. The probe is being conducted by Paul Weiss, the same law firm that looked into allegations of sexual harassment against former Fox chairman Roger Ailes and former host Bill O’Reilly, Fox said.
The Huffington Post broke the news Friday evening, reporting that at least three of Bolling’s colleagues had received unsolicited lewd photos via text message from the host.
At least a dozen sources linked to Fox News and Fox Business spoke with Huffington Post on condition of anonymity and the recipients of the alleged photos confirmed the contents of the text messages, which they said they found upsetting and offensive.

There is a helluva lot going on here:Lord made headlines in 2015 when he suggested Republican strategist and CNN contributor Ana Navarro could not be an American and a Latina at the same time.
In 2016, he called the Ku Klux ? a “leftist terrorist organization” and said House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) was “racist” for condemning Trump’s attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican heritage.
Most recently, Lord drew ire in April by calling President Donald Trump “the Martin Luther King of healthcare.” -

Nah it ain't. The dude is a ? and shouldn't have been hired in the first place, but they are purposely misrepresenting what's going on. Dude didn't say "Sieg Heil" as some kinda pro ? salute. He was saying it in response to comments from a person that he considers to be a fascist. In other words, he was basically calling the other guy a ? . He shouldn't have been fired for that, especially since he's said worse stuff on air and gotten away with it. CNN has just become a ? network. -

Any body who actually read the twitter exchange should have understood the context. If the people that made the call here didn't understand the context, then they're idiots and have no business making decisions of this magnitude. Again, the dude is a ? and didn't deserve to be on TV, but his tweet clearly didn't mean what people are taking it to mean. -
crackers cacking, nothin new
