Drew Lauter, president of media company iHeartMedia Atlanta, was let go after a video surfaced of him appearing to say racial slurs.

WSB-TV, which procured the video, said it shows Lauter using a common slur against Black people multiple times in front of other iHeartMedia employees in a car after a charity event in August 2021. Employees were informed of his departure Thursday.

Attorney Jason Castle, who represents the unnamed Black employee who recorded the video, told WSB-TV that this isn’t the first time Lauter has uttered racially insensitive language.

iHeart used to be Clear Channel, a Right Wing company, so this is not surprising.
