I don't really see what he did wrong here. The public conversation needs to be robust and wide open. They appear to have been angling to lose him his job. He responded indicating he thought of them as fascists.

It's getting to be a precious conversation if folks can't fight fire with fire, or say words like seig hell.

CNN severs ties with Jeffrey Lord
By Brian Stelter
Updated 5:10 PM EDT, Thu August 10, 2017

(CNNMoney) CNN severed ties with Jeffrey Lord on Thursday, hours after he ignited controversy by tweeting the words "Sieg Heil!" at a prominent liberal activist.

"Nazi salutes are indefensible," a CNN spokesperson said in a statement. "Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network."

Lord was not immediately reachable for comment. Earlier in the day, he defended his tweet by saying he was "mocking a fascist."
