With all the other bullshit he's said over the past 6 months... the guy was begging to be fired. Maybe he wanted to be fired so he could get unemployment benefits (which isn't usually possible when you resign). It literally took him tweeting a Nazi salute to finally be let go. smfh

conservative commentator Jeffrey Lord after he tweeted the Nazi salute “Seig Heil!” at Media Matters’ Angelo Carusone.
“Nazi salutes are indefensible,” a CNN spokesperson said in the statement, according to CNN Monday. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.”
Lord on Thursday responded to a message by Carusone that pointed out the Donald Trump supporter misspelled her name in a column.
“Sieg Heil!” he replied.


Good riddance to a trash talking con artist - just like his hero in chief.

Jeff Lord‏ .. realJeffre ... Why would I delete something that mocks the Fascists at Media Matters Fascists? Why would you tweet support tying Fascism?
Lord went on to describe Media Matters as a “fascist” website that tries to quell free speech.
Jeff Lord‏ ..realJeffreyLo.. So opposing Nazis and Fascists (racists/sexists/homophobes etc etc )now makes me one? Orwellian. Maybe the problem is you?


Sieg heil in german means 'victory, hail', in english would be spoken 'hail victory'
ie sieg = victory, heil = hail.

Hey! the washington redskins fight song:

Hail to the Redskins! Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath! Fight for old D.C.!


Heil, fur dem Redskins, Heil fur dem sieg.

From the link


CNN severed ties with Jeffrey Lord on Thursday, hours after he ignited controversy by tweeting the words "Sieg Heil!" at a prominent liberal activist.

Lord said his tweet was misunderstood. He said he was mocking fascists, not acting like one.
