Do you think what he said was wrong?


A meteorologist in Colorado was FIRED after he shared a tweet comparing federal agents policing cities for Black Lives Matter to NAZI GERMANY!!

Marty Coniglio shared a picture of soldiers posing with Adolf Hitler and captioned "Federal police in cities...now wehre have i seen that before"

He's been on television in Denver for nearly 30 YEARS confirmed he was let go from 9News

Staff received an email announcing he was gone that said "Dear Colleagues, i want to share that Marty Coniglio is no longer an employee of 9News. We thank him for his many years of service"

The TV station's president and general manager also confirmed their working relationship but refused to say why

Coniglio was supposed to leave in December 2019 because of health issues but he formalized his contract renewal mid-January saying it will go past summer

He told the Denver Post he was not able to talk about the situation for at least another week but says he is moving along with the next opportunities coming up in his life

His tweet came at the same time Trump announced he was sending troops into cities with democratic leaders

Many declined his offer to help combat crime insisting their local police will handle it

Coniglio later deleted that tweet at the advice of his "Republican activist friend" Rick Enstrom who wrote "Oh boy, he stepped on it big time..take it down bro"

Rep. Ken Buck said "Comparing the brave men and women of our law enforcement community to Nazis is absolutely reprehensible. Republicans know that the press leans to the left, but are fellow reporters okay with this type of radical hate against law enforcement from employees at local news stations?"

Do you think his comparison was wrong?

Hasn't comparing something to Nazis been so done to death that it's now basically meaningless?

He should've specified that they're more like the Gestapo though

The police arent Nazis. Anyone who thinks they are, including the people here, deserve to be fired.

I mean the dude is an idiot for saying that, but it's not as though protestors haven't been gassed or killed.

I'm gonna be honest, if people are saying tear gas is anything compared to actual gas chambers, they are entirely shitting in the deaths of actual jewish men, women, and children who were murdered in gas chambers. Which is pretty fucking scummy. We're talking people who were held prisoner, forced into a chamber naked, gassed and murdered, then removed of hair and gold teeth to be sold for profit.

The fuck does that have to do with tear gas?

What strikes me as odd is, this is the comparison to Nazis we're taking super literally?

Comparing something to Nazis is so overdone now it might as well really just mean "thing is bad".
