CNN sure knows how to pick 'em.
54 stories under his name.

Earlier today, CNN contributor Adeel Raja sent out a tweet claiming the world today needs a Hitler. Not even joking, not even making up some sort of snarky response to jab CNN for looking anti-Semitic … nope. The guy actually tweeted it.

Not a bit surprised, and won’t be a bit surprised that folks will defend him.

Apparently, he has a long history of this, yet he is still a CNN contributor.


Quote:
"The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals - Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!" Raja wrote during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Raja last had a CNN byline on Sept. 16, 2020. He still lists his affiliation with the network on LinkedIn.

"Hail Hitler!" he wrote the following day. Twitter users shared screenshots of the messages.
But yeah, "Antisemitism and anti-zionism are not the same thing."

I went to see what he has contributed to CNN -- last story was last August.2020...so not sure he's a 'favored' contributor....and rightfully should be dropped.

He posted and deleted it --- I read his tweets -- he says outrageous things to get outrageous reactions.

It's disgusting.

He's not winning any fans in this house. Does he have the right to say this? Yes. Is it completely abhorrent? Also yes.

I wonder if they 'warned' him and that's why he deleted it.

He should be suspended.

BUT --- he didn't repeat a lie, he expressed a disgusting opinion. People don't get banned for their stupid ideas.....they get banned for repeating lies, or attacking individuals.

It's a fine line.....
