Social CNN drops freelancer for praising Hitler

[Peter_Panner]

CNN has dropped freelance contributor Adeel Raja after it was revealed that he posted a series of anti-Semitic comments on social media and praised the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on a number of occasions.

The Islamabad-based journalist on Sunday tweeted that "the world today needs a Hitler," and quickly removed the post when it sparked backlash.

He has previously declared his support for the German national football team because of "what Hitler did with Jews."

"The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals is - Hitler was a German and he did good with those jews!" Raja posted ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final between Germany and Argentina.

In a separate post around that time, Raja also said: "My support for Germany is due to what Hitler did with Jews!"

The guy wrote over 50 articles for CNN. Some of the tweets were from 2014.

Mean while a politician gets banned on Twitter for saying a man can not get pregnant.

I was expecting more of a "yes what he did was horrible, but if you could copy what he did for economic recovery he wasn't that bad" yadada

Nope. Just straight up Nazi shit.

Seems like a great guy. I’m shocked to see he hates Jews given you know..

Make no mistake, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib agree with him.

Narrative building

 

[Confucamus]

He'll be rehired in 3 months after CNN decides that he has "evolved."

 

[BIKES!]

CNN drops freelancer who shares same beliefs as CNN but didn’t delete tweets as told...

Farrakhan/ Hitler, all nice people in the devil's eyes..... LoL

How is Europe today?

Largely because of Hitler and WW2.

& a thread I created calling out sherdogs silence on McG's rape allegation literally got deleted by moderators in 10 seconds flat

There's a pretty big difference between creating a call out/potential fighter bashing thread, and just randomly posting in a thread. The mods aren't clairvoyant. Just report him, if you don't want to wait any longer for the inevitable.
