Nazi salutes are indefensible, the connection said in a statement to EW.
Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the data pipe.
So he knew exactly to what I was referring to.
This is straight-up fascism, controlling the media to their likes.
Carusone also spoke to EW before Lords firing and expressed his confusion over being called a Nazi.
It doesnt make any sense, he said.
But there isnt a joke there.
Its actually not a joke.
There is no humor in it.
Im not saying that to be cute, I mean it.
Because what that does is change history in a really unpleasant way.
Carusone called on CNN to hold Lord accountable in a statement posted onTwitter.
Why should he get a free pass?
But Lord appeared to take his firing in stride; shortly after CNNs announcement, he tweeted, LOL!
