Right-wing news outlet One America News fired The Matt Gaetz Show producer Vish Burra on Monday after he posted a cartoon last week that characterized Jewish people as scheming cockroaches he later labeled as vermin, TheWrap has confirmed.
Burra, a script writer and booker on Gaetzs show, was terminated after network executives found his comments highly offensive and antisemitic, a source familiar with the matter told TheWrap.
OAN declined to comment. When reached by TheWrap by phone, Burra hung up

to get his job back, because anyone who can stomach watching OAN can easily see that antisemitism and racism are actually a feature of that nazi Tv station.
