3. Looks like he retweeted by a twitter address from the West's
campaign without the campaign's consent. I think the firing is justified. If the intern would have done it from his own account than that would be a problem.

Maybe the intern knew he would get the axe? Bravo for him for standing up for his beliefs and knowing he will have to pay a price.

6. We've GOT to get rid of him.
I hope that Dems turn out next election, because that's how he slithered in.
