realJeffreyLord: @GoAngelo @amspectator Sieg Heil!

So one CNN commentator leaves the network to immediately join Trump's propaganda team, and another is tweeting Nazi salutes. Guessing Zucker is not going to do anything about it.


Update: He has been fired.

I really dislike Lord like the next guy, but he must of been hacked. I mean...it's pretty blatant.

No hack. He is defending it.

 

[Username1198]

No words I can't even

 

[kmax]

No hack. He is defending it.

Is that even his account? Why is it not verified?

 

[Steel]

I'm not even surprised. Whelp, CNN has their excuse to fire him.

 

[Etzer]

Oh, it this guy. Not surprised.

 

[Haloid1177]

I don't see that tweet on his Twitter feed...

 

[Impeccable]

I am assuming the context is weird as fuck and he thinks it is some dank joke.

Fuck this prick.

 

[poppedcollar69]

he thinks he's being satirical with that tweet

[Saganator]

What was he replying to? Honestly surprised Jeff hasn't joined the Trump admin yet.

 

[flkraven]

Lord and that Paris guy are the biggest fucking idiots on that network. I know they are on the payroll purely because the shit they stir leads to ratings, so that's why I purposely turn off the network the second I see them come on. Fuck them and fuck CNN for giving them a platform.

 

[Boke1879]

Did he delete it? I'm not seeing it.

 

[Tobor]

What was he replying to? Honestly surprised Jeff hasn't joined the Trump admin yet.

He's a paid surrogate. He already works for the administration.

Still up for me.

 

[RinsFury]

This is real? What the fuck...

 

[War Peaceman]

He is clearly calling them nazis. His link calls the media matters people fascists. They try to correct him, he says this to show they are nazis. It is a bad joke.

They aren't obviously, and Jeffrey Lord is a cunt but not for these reasons

 

[jstripes]

Is there anyone on US cable news who isn't a complete moron?

 

[Piecake]

What was he replying to? Honestly surprised Jeff hasn't joined the Trump admin yet.

Looks like he is calling Media Matters fascists - so that is the reason for him spouting the nazi phrase.

Looks like he's mocking somebody else.

CNN contributor and staunch Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord tweeted “Sieg Heil!” at the president of Media Matters for America on Thursday.

That set off a Twitter back-and-forth between the men, which comes following an opinion piece Lord wrote for the "The American Spectator" that called MMFA President Angelo Carusone and the liberal media watchdog site “Media Matters Fascists.”

Carusone hit back at Lord on Twitter, noting that he’d spelled his name wrong and asking, “Why do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you don’t take yourself seriously?"

Lord quickly responded, tweeting, “Sieg Heil!” — the Nazi salute for "Hail, my leader!" — before going on to defend the tweet.

In the opinion piece, Lord takes issue with a Media Matters campaign to get Fox's Sean Hannity fired from the network.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Characters in a drama, huh, Zucker?

Just, wow. I honestly thought it was a hacking troll.

What a fucking tool.

 

[mcfrank]

Looks like he's mocking somebody else.

Would it occur to you to tweet that in jest?

 

[SlipperyMoose]

https://twitter.com/realJeffreyLord/status/895689103966179330

Is he implying that the person is a grammar nazi? Not that in any context is it appropriate for him to say that but I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is going on in his head.

 

[Shauni]

Is there anyone on US cable news who isn't a complete moron?

I mean, yeah, lots, but they are often overshadowed by the madness of Fox News and the shitheads CNN keep on to portray "both sides."

 

[Fury451]

No faster way to end your career than twitter.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

When someone shows you who they really are...believe them. He gets no benefit of the doubt from me.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

No faster way to end your career than twitter.

or, alternatively, become president

 

[zethren]

Jeffery Lord is a fucking idiot, so I'm not surprised.

 

[D i Z]

Life isn't a debate, but he's been lying for so long he doesn't understand much anymore.

 

[BadAss2961]

His twitter pic lol

 

[mlclmtckr]

it was a reply to someone he was calling a nazi

 

[Kolx]

OP should add context to this tweet.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

His defense boils down to "No nazi! No nazi! You're the nazi!"

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

It's twisted and stupid, but internally consistent:

• He wrote an article calling Media Matters for America "MMF" Media Matters Fascists. The reason why? MMFA is going against Sean Hannity for being a Trump mouthpiece
• Got into a twitter argument with the CEO of MMFA about the article.
• Responds with nazi phrase to emphasize that MMFA guy is a fascist.

 

[Steel]

His defense boils down to "No nazi! No nazi! You're the nazi!"

That's exactly how he debates.

 

[kevin1025]

If this ends his career, it's disappointing.

Mostly because he's said far worse things on air and got away with it.

 

[mcfrank]

OP should add context to this tweet.

I don't think the context makes it any less appalling.

 

[Meowster]

CNN really should answer for taking on these clowns tbh.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

lol..

 

[Surfinn]

I'm guessing he stays on CNN

 

[Username1198]

OP should add context to this tweet.

Context is he's a piece of trump defending shit head

I'm guessing he stays on CNN

Jeff lord: CNN race relations expert

Will be his new title

https://twitter.com/realJeffreyLord/status/895689103966179330

Virtually every response he makes is to try and make any opposing him seem like a fascist sympathizer. Next level bullshitting.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

His twitter picture reminds me of Jersey Akuma.

 

[kevin1025]

CNN really should answer for taking on these clowns tbh.

There's definitely a few shows that refuse to put Jeffrey Lord on anymore. Don Lemon hasn't had him on in months since he lost his temper at Lord after Lord kept repeating, "Don, Don, I can't understand you, you're speaking liberal to me."

I need some context here...
