His head looks sort of squished. Isn;' he the one who belongs to swingers clubs? How disappointing for the other women to see THAT walk through the door.

CNN can't do anything about that.

(1,243 posts)since they've been frozen out and called fake news--they often lament that the White House won't talk to them. Doubt they'll seriously ban Gorka any more than they did Kellyanne.

(35,075 posts)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

(2,808 posts)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.

CNN severed ties with Jeffrey Lord on Thursday, hours after he ignited controversy by tweeting the words "Sieg Heil!" at a prominent liberal activist.
snip
Lord said his tweet was misunderstood. He said he was mocking fascists, not acting like one.
