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.

OAN declined to comment. When reached by TheWrap by phone, Burra hung up

"could be a future headline from The Onion"

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.
