CBS Weather Reporter Fired for Criticizing Elon Musk’s Nazi Salute
Milwaukee meteorologist Sam Kuffel was dismissed from WDJT-TV after posting Instagram comments criticizing Elon Musk’s inauguration gesture, which some interpreted as a Nazi salute. The station confirmed her departure, citing it as a personnel matter, while Kuffel’s social media accounts were made private. Kuffel’s dismissal followed criticism from a conservative radio host who denounced her posts as “vulgar” and a “lie.” Prior to her dismissal, Kuffel had been a prominent local weather forecaster and commentator on the impact of meteorologist layoffs.
