Ugh #JeffreyLord was mocking the totalitarianism of the #AltLeft - he wasn't being pro Hitler pic.twitter.com/lDI9h5szHb— 🎼AdagioForStrings🎻 (@adagioforstring) September 26, 2018
From Levine, Jon. “Why Does CNN Have Such a Hard Time Finding (and Keeping) Pro-Trump Commentators?” TheWrap, TheWrap, 24 Sept. 2018, www.thewrap.com/cnn-pro-trump-commentators-troubles-lewandowski-jeffrey-lord-jason-miller/.
"'Sadly, CNN seems to have two standards: one for Trump supporters and an anything-goes standard for liberals or anti-Trumpers,' said Jeffrey Lord, a GOP strategist who was dumped by the network in August 2017 after tweeting the Nazi salute 'Sieg heil' in an online spat"
From "CNN cuts ties with Jeffrey Lord over 'Sieg Heil' jibe" BBC News, BBC, 11 Aug. 2017, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40895776
"Jeffrey Lord tweeted 'Sieg Heil' in response to an exchange with the head of Media Matters for America. He later said his comment had been misunderstood and that he was mocking fascists."
@realJeffreyLord was goofing on leftist media the same way #JamesCagney was goofing on German media in Billy Wilder 's #OneTwoThree pic.twitter.com/RUOWYRzBIX— 🎼AdagioForStrings🎻 (@adagioforstring) September 26, 2018
From "One, Two, Three"
German Reporter: How do you spell your husband's name?
Scarlett Hazeltine: Piffl
Reporter: Piffl? I thought it was von Droste-Schattenburg
Scarlett: Oh that. You mustn't believe everything Mr. MacNamara tells you. He fixed it all up so that Daddy wouldn't find out Otto's a red. In the beginning I didn't like Mr. MacNamara, but he's been just marvy!
MacNamara: That's enough out of you, Countess!
Scarlett: Did I say something wrong?
MacNamara: Buzz off, will you?
Reporter: You said there was no story and it's getting better and better!
MacNamara: How much do you want to forget the whole thing?
Reporter: You think you can buy a German newspaper man?
MacNamara: I've never tried before.
Reporter: Maybe in America your journalists are for sale, but here in Germany...
Schlemmer: [to MacNamara] The adoption papers! All signed an notarized!
Schlemmer: [to reporter] Herr Oberleutnant!
MacNamara: You two know each other?
Schlemmer: He was my commanding officer
MacNamara: In the subway?
Schlemmer: No, when I was drafted!
MacNamara: Aha! Gestapo!
Schlemmer: No, no. SS
Reporter: [something German] der Idiot!
MacNamara: [to reporter] Well, Herr Oberleutnant, is there anything else I can do for you?
Reporter: No, thank you. I have all the facts. A union between two internationally prominent families, the Hazeltines and the von Droste-Schattenburgs. The social event of the year. It will be in the afternoon paper.
MacNamara: It better be!
Reporter: Auf Wiedersehen
MacNamara: [sarcastically to reporter] Sieg heil! As for you Schlemmer, you're back in the SS - "smaller salary"!
Schlemmer: Sir, I can explain. I was only a pastry cook in the officers' mess.
MacNamara: [on phone to secretary] Ingeborg? I want to speak to the maître d' at the Hilton
Schlemmer: I was a very bad pastry cook
