The New York Times has fired their newest hire hours after announcing her employment to the company.
The NY Post reports Quinn Norton who was brought onto the team as an opinion writer for culture and consequences of technology. Shortly after being hired, Norton was fired for racist and homophobic slurs used on her Twitter account.
I stand by my angry tweet referencing the 2014 NYtimes "no angel" article about Michael Brown being a terrible, racist call. That should have never run like that.
On her Twitter account, Norton openly shares about being, “friends with various neo-Nazis” even though she says she’s never believed or agreed with them.
However she was again vocal about not being able to do her job for the New York Times which she explains in a series of tweets.
As I said so many times to the @nytimes, no harm no foul. I'm sorry I can't do the work I wanted to do with them. I wish there had been a way, but ultimately, they need to feel safe with how the net will react to their opinion writers.
Where in the hell do they find these nitwits? This one is about as maggot brained as they come. She looks deranged.
POS Norton was Hired/FIRED on the same day.
Another white RACIST bites the DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This coming from the biggest racist of all Linda, you!
