Mr. Lord had .. accused Angelo Carusone, president of .. Media Matters, of emulating fascists by calling for sponsors to boycott Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. When Mr. Carusone responded on Thursday on Twitter, Mr. Lord posted .. "Sieg Heil!" ...

Just go fuck yourself CNN. That's worse than Brian Kilmeade and, "What would you like to hear?" And that's bad.

Mr. Lord, a veteran of the Reagan White House, became CNN’s first paid pro-Trump contributor in July 2015. Mr. Trump, then a long-shot Republican candidate, had recommended Mr. Lord after complaining that the network’s panelists all seemed to dislike him. (CNN said it had already been considering Mr. Lord for a job.)

At the time, Mr. Lord was living with his mother and occasionally writing magazine pieces. Soon, he was ubiquitous on television, admired by Mr. Trump’s supporters as a rare mainstream voice for their candidate, and ridiculed by others for unwavering praise of him
.

A 64-Year-Old Man was LIVING WITH HIS MOTHER and writing OCCASSIONAL magazine pieces -- before being "hired" by CNN. Seriously. Also, a 64-Year-Old Man, living with his Mommy, was "recommended" by Trump to CNN, to give him "Praise" on CNN.

Let that settle in for a moment.....`
