Milwaukee Weather Reporter Fired for criticizing Musk's Nazi salute [View all]
In Trump's America, being a Nazi gets you to the top, but criticizing one will get you fired.
A TV news weather forecaster is out of a job after criticizing Elon Musk’s infamous salute at the inauguration and calling him a Nazi.
CBS 58 Milwaukee employees were informed Wednesday that Sam Kuffel “is no longer employed” at the station. The day before, Kuffel posted a photo of Musk from the event to her personal Instagram account, saying, “Dude Nazi saluted twice. TWICE. During the inauguration.” She added, “You (f–k) with this and this man, I don’t (f–k) with you. Full stop.”
She then shared a gif from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” in which Rob McElhenney says, “Screw that old bi–h. He’s a Nazi.” Her account has since been changed to “private.” . . .
By Wednesday, Kuffel’s biography and picture had been removed from Channel 58 site, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
