Matt Gaetz's OAN producer Vish Burra deleted wildly antisemitic tweets and videos he shared earlier today, which showed a "Scheming Room" with a Star of David that depicted Jews as cockroaches who burned and ran when exposed to light.

I've asked OAN president Charles Herring and Gaetz for comment.

I was curious who the black person was and now I know. Gee whiz who do you think produced this trash.

I believe it to be Vish Burra since he looks to be the star of this trash.

* I wasn’t sure about who was in the video. Sorry for my confusion.

My guess he is of south Asian ethnicity, given his actual name is Vishwanag.

In India, Burra is a common surname among the Telugu community, particularly in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Vish sounded South Indian and I assumed he is of the Indian diaspora.

NEW YORK (AP) — A man who briefly worked as an aide to U.S. Rep. George Santos says he got his job after sending a series of payments to one of the Republican’s top deputies.

Derek Myers, 31, told staff of the House’s ethics subcommittee during an interview Wednesday that while he was trying to get a job in Santos’ congressional office in late January, he sent at least seven $150 payments to Santos’ director of operations, Vish Burra.

Myers shared details about the payments, including receipts and text messages, with The Associated Press. His account of how Burra helped him get hired hasn’t previously been reported and raises questions about potential ethical improprieties around Santos.

In a February letter sent to the House Committee on Ethics, Myers said he was ousted after he spurned Santos’ sexual advances, accusing the congressman of running his hand along his inner leg and touching his groin while they were alone in the office.
