EXCLUSIVE: Voice of America Reporter Posts Racist Reddit Memes While Receiving Taxpayer Money

Source: Mediaite

While posting on his Reddit account UncleSam4200, Voice of America reporter Josh Fatzick bragged on the infamous pro-Trump subreddit r/TheDonald that he worked in Washington media — but half-jokingly added, “If I were to ever be publicly connected to this account, it probably would not be good for my career.”

The reason why Fatzick didn’t want to be publicly outed as UncleSam4200 is because he frequently posts racist, sexist, and anti-LGBTQ screeds — in which he uses the N-word, jokes about sexual assault, refers to black people as “apes” and “gorillas,” and uses terms like “fag,” “faggot,” and “tranny” to insult those he disagrees with.

For definitive clarity, Mediaite reached out to multiple sources in conservative media who know Fatzick on both a personal and professional level and they were able to confirm that he is indeed the man behind UncleSam4200.

As odious as his comments are, the timestamps of his posts indicate something far more nefarious, as he frequently uses Reddit during work hours — which means taxpayers are de facto compensating Fatzick to post these racist remarks, given Voice of America’s government-funded status.

Fatzick admitted in one of his posts that he has "a job where I can spend most of my day making mindless Reddit comments."

He used to write for Tucker Carlson's faux-news site, The Daily Caller.

Now taxpayers are paying him whle he posts this crap on Reddit.

Read the article in its entirety to see how disgusting he is.

over many decades, VOA had been considered "our" (U.S.) propaganda arm. Yet back when I used to listen to it on SW in the '90s, it actually had better and less (RW) skewed news than the M$M.

'I don't email' said Mr Trump... I don't believe that either. you need an email account for several medias you personally noted, including your personal twitter account.
