Trump critics fired at conservative site RedState

BY JOE CONCHA at the Hill

"SNIP..........

Conservative outlet RedState fired most of its staff Friday while its owner, Salem Media, froze the site, citing an inability to "no longer support the entire roster of writers and editors."

"The site name will linger, but RedState is all but dead now. I have invited the fired writers here," Erick Erickson, a RedState founder who left the site in 2015, wrote in a blog post.

Fired staffers said the cuts focused on writers who have been critical of President Trump. RedState had often distinguished itself since 2016 as a home for Trump critics within the GOP.

RedState staffers were reportedly locked out of their accounts on a temporary or permanent basis, depending on job status, while the firings were being carried out.

The exiles could form a subreddit but they might have a problem with posters from The_Donald

(That's a virulent subreddit that worships trump and bans anyone who criticizes their hee-row.)
