Trump supporter Ed Martin out at CNN after four-month stint

Ed Martin, a staunch supporter of President Trump who signed on as a CNN contributor just four months ago, has been let go by the network.

Martin hosts a radio talk show in St. Louis. He was hired by CNN in September after another pro-Trump contributor, Jeffery Lord, was abruptly fired. Lord was fired after mocking the president of Media Matters by tweeting a Nazi salute to him in protest for what he called "anti-speech" tactics against conservative media members by the liberal media watchdog organization.

The decision by the network comes after Media Matters flagged that Martin had not appeared on CNN since mid-December, after stating on his radio program that some panelists on a CNN segment he appeared on were "black racists," which included CNN contributors Ana Navarro, Symone Sanders and April Ryan.

Navarro celebrated the news with a tweet to her 729,000 followers: "Bye. Fe-Li-Cia."

That was one of the best good-riddances anyone could have ever done.

Looks like the revolving door of RW lunatics.
