Backlash prompts CNN to boot long-time contributor for tweets like 'The world today needs Hitler'

[BIZPACREVIEW] CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who knows what it might stand for...
has cut ties with long-time contributor Adeel Raja out of Pakistain who has tweeted numerous times that he believes the world needs another "Hitler" and has expressed deep hatred of Jews.

Raja has worked for the network since 2013, writing approximately 50 articles. Social media users found the anti-Semitic tweets and furiously demanded a response from CNN concerning the writer who has written for the media outlet.

It was not just one off-hand tweet from Raja who is a verified Twitter user. He apparently wrote a number of them. "The world today needs a Hitler," was the first to be noticed as he posted it at around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday. That tweet has since been deleted, as the Washington Examiner noted.

"The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals — Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!" Raja also wrote during the airing of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The next day, he tweeted "Hail Hitler!"

In another now-deleted tweet, Raja also took issue with former Vice President Mike Pence’s tweet stating: "America stands with Israel." The Islamabad writer tweeted, "A history of creating Death Eaters and standing with them!"

Raja last touted a CNN byline on Sept. 16, 2020. Until the tweets came to light, he stated he was still working for CNN on LinkedIn.

#1 Exactly what kind of Hitler are we talking about here - Trump-Hitler, Bush-Hitler or Hitler-Hitler?

#4 The only good thing about Twitter: outing imbeciles like this, and telling celebrities that they are retards.

#5 Didn't get the memo. The offical CNN stance is that the world needs another Stalin. The Nazi's only killed what? 20M? Stalin and Communism has killed 5x that (and still counting).
