Weatherman Sven Sundgaard fired over tweet comparing anti-lockdown protesters with ‘Nazi sympathisers’

A TV weatherman has been fired after he allegedly shared an online post referring to those protesting stay-at-home coronavirus orders as “Nazi sympathisers”.

Sven Sundgaard was a meteorologist for KARE-TV in Minneapolis, Minnesota, until last week, The Sun reports.

According to the St Paul Pioneer Press, Sundgaard recently shared a Facebook post from a local rabbi criticising those who are protesting coronavirus lockdowns.

The original post, from Rabbi Michael Adam Latz, reportedly characterised the protesters as “white nationalist Nazi sympathiser gun fetishist miscreants”.

The NBC-affiliated news station didn’t specify why Sundgaard was fired, but wrote on Facebook on Friday he had lost his job due to “continued violations of KARE11’s news ethics”.
