CNN fires freelancer for tweet saying 'world today needs a Hitler'

CNN has fired a freelancer for a tweet that stated "The world today needs a Hitler," the company said in a statement Sunday.

Adeel Raja posted the tweet just before 1 p.m. Sunday, according to the Washington Examiner, though the tweet has since been deleted.

"Adeel Raja has never been a CNN employee," a CNN spokesman said Sunday, when asked about the tweet.

"As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some news gathering efforts from Islamabad. However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity."

Raja could not be reached for comment.

Raja had posted the tweet and others in reaction to the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

And after his firing, Raja took to Twitter again saying he was unapologetic for the tweet because it brought attention to the Palestinian cause.

"Glad a single tweet contributed to the #Palestine cause and brought it to limelight with me loosing [sic] my job and the West's claim of Freedom of expression and human rights!"

Perhaps what he meant ... The world needs another Hindenburg - or an Ebert.

The leaders that guided Germany from the Weimar economy - to being the world's largest industrial economy - at the time Hitler took power.

Hitler functioned as a Thelma & Louise & drove the country off a cliff.

Attacking the USSR in 1941 ?!


If he means, the world would be better off without 6 million Israeli & Jewish criminals - sounds like a simple statement of fact.
