Quote:A Breitbart writer who tweeted anti-Muslim comments shortly after a terror attack in London that left seven dead and nearly 50 inured has been fired.

CNN first reported the firing of Katie McHugh, who tweeted out on Saturday night that “there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn't live there.”

The backlash on social media and among some Breitbart employees was swift, and included an exchange between TV actor Pej Vahdat (Fox's “Bones”) and McHugh.

“You're a real moron,” actor Pej Vahdat responded to McHugh's since-deleted tweet.

“You're an Indian,” retorted McHugh.
Vahdat is not Indian, but of Iranian-American decent.

Several of McHugh's colleagues also expressed their displeasure, with several telling CNN that McHugh's remarks were “appalling” and “dumb.”

McHugh has tweeted about her firing.

This isn't the first time McHugh has stirred outrage.

She once tweeted to her 19,000 followers that “Mexicans wrecked Mexico & think invading the USA will magically cure them of their retarded dysfunction. LOL.”

McHugh isn’t the only Breitbart writer who drew negative attention for a tweet over the weekend.

Ryan Saavedra, a Breitbart reporter who covers “illegal immigration” per his Twitter bio, called for the return of the crusades after the London terror attack, also on Twitter. His status with Breitbart News is not known.

Can anyone explain this? It seems kind of strange from Breitbart.

Is this yet another example of a right wing outlet that eventually shifts to the left because they are based in major cities like LA, DC or NY?

The employees don't to be known as the right wing extremist site to their leftist friends so they start to behave like this, it's how typically a cuckservative is born and it would be a shame if a semi edgy site like Breitbart would be ruined because of this reason.

I'm sure giving the left firing power over their employees will get (((Breitbart))) lots of pats on the back from people who despise them.

Breitbart still requires advertising revenue to survive is the simplest explanation.

They're still capable of shitposting though:

"You're an Indian."....is this seriously the best shit this girl has?

I even facepalmed at how dumb that sounds. 0/10 not insulting.

Her post was benign. Maybe she's just annoying and they wanted her out. Or she's a bad reporter. There could be other reasons for her firing.

Maybe she's just a dim wit.

Another example of Iranians being based as fuck, why are we enemies of Iran? oh ((right)) durrr.

This a stupid move by Breitbart, but I blame American corporations, they were a mistake. Most of them are controlled by progressives or are at least sympathetic to them (because of greed) and they ultimately are trying to sell their cheap Chinese made shit or poison to the largest amount of people possible. Breitbart is trying to be more moderate so the left wing witch hunts don't destroy their ad revenue

That's a dumb response from her, and Pej Vadhat isn't even Indian. He's an Iranian. You can troll Iranians and Arabs by saying they look Indian but I doubt this woman knows about stuff like that.

Her insult is lame - it's something an 8 year old girl would say.

What she said is true!

She's got some intense eyes. It looks like she's on something.

The guys running Breitbart have decided to go full cuck and turn the site into the Hill.

I predict the remaining talent over there will be leaving for greener pastures soon, and the site will slip into irrelevancy. (Unless they reverse course obviously, but I doubt they will.)

Cernovich makes a good point here: NRO fired Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter and specifically went out their way to make an anti-Trump "manifesto".

As a result, they're now irrelevant. Breitbart better take notes from this, if you cave to the left you lose your audience.

Actually, National Review peaked this past February, at least as far as web traffic goes.

Breitbart is primarily a news site. National Review is more for commentary. I don't think it's fair to compare them when they serve different purposes.

"You're an Indian." She sounds like a moron troll and, accordingly, was fired. She should get better material.

Post: #22

Milo was "fired" because his colleagues hated him. Most likely same kind of scenario going on here.

Post: #23

Is it possible that by saying "You're an Indian" she meant that he should better understand how violent Islam is, considering its history in India? Or maybe I'm just giving too much credit to an average female mind?

She was fired because of the anti-Muslim tweet not because she trolled that Indian dude.

It's ridiculous to fire her over either of those things when they're trying to sell themselves as a nationalist, pro-Trump outlet.

The statement she made about Muslims in the UK is true too which makes it even more ridiculous.
