Longtime CNN reporter openly and proudly supported Hitler

It has recently been uncovered that a CNN “freelance” reporter of eight years with 20+ bylines in the publication, is an Antisemite who supported Adolf Hitler.

The reporter, Adeel Raja, had a verified account on Twitter and wrote things such as, “The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals – Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!” Raja wrote that on the day of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in which Germany defeated Argentina.

“Hail Hitler,” Raja tweeted the next day.

According to a statement from CNN, “As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some newsgathering efforts from Islamabad. However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity.”

The revelations come as Hamas terrorists in Giza and the West Bank have been firing thousands of rockets across Israel, which have mostly been intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. On May 16, Raja wrote, “The world today needs a Hitler.”
