Meteorologist Sam Kuffel was recently terminated from CBS58 after her social media posts criticized Elon Musk's gestures, which she equated to a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration. The controversy ignited after far-right radio host Dan O'Donnell condemned her posts as vulgar and inaccurate. Following her firing, Kuffel's Instagram went private, and online supporters voiced their disapproval of the station's decision. This incident reflects broader societal debates about expression and the consequences of speaking out against public figures in today's polarized climate.
Calling Kuffel's posts vulgar, O'Donnell took to X and wrote: EXCLUSIVE: @CBS58 meteorologist Sam Kuffel makes a pair of vulgar Instagram posts while spreading the lie that Elon Musk was giving a Nazi salute during yesterday's Presidential Inauguration.
Kuffel's departure from Channel 58 came after Dan O'Donnell, a far-right Milwaukee-based radio host, criticized Kuffel over her two apparent Instagram posts in which she wrote: Dude Nazi saluted twice.
Supporters of Kuffel were quick to respond on social media, with one user writing on X: Shame on @CBS58 for firing Sam Kuffel for naming @elonmusk's Nazi salute.
In her second post, Kuffel appeared to post a screenshot of a scene from the FX sitcom It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia in which Rob McElhenney's character Mac says: Screw that old bitch. He's a Nazi.
