Milwaukee assistant city attorney who backed Putin on Russia Today TV is fired.

The Milwaukee assistant city attorney who last week backed Russian President Vladimir Putin in an appearance on Russia Today TV and who previously worked for anti-Islamic "hate groups" is out of a job.

City Attorney Tearman Spencer's termination notice to the city's Department of Employee Relations on Monday cited only "Job performance. Poor fit." as the reason to end Jennifer DeMaster's employment with the office. The notice did not contain additional details, and neither DeMaster nor Spencer immediately responded to requests for comment Monday.

Assistant City Attorney Nicholas Zales also had his employment in the office terminated Monday, according to Department of Employee Relations Director Makda Fessahaye. That notice cites only "job performance" as the reason.

A voicemail left at a phone number listed as associated with Zales and a message through LinkedIn were not immediately returned.

otherwise knew she was going to get fired soon, and so went on RT to try to spin her firing as a cancel culture thing to try to become a right wing media darling?

... or perhaps be a Republican political candidate — perhaps even run for president!
