A meteorologist with a CBS affiliate in Milwaukee has parted ways with the station days after she criticized Elon Musk’s controversial hand gesture at President Donald Trump’s inauguration as a Nazi salute.
A CBS 58 spokesperson confirmed with HuffPost on Wednesday that meteorologist Sam Kuffel is “no longer with the station” but that it “cannot comment further on personnel issues.” The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was the first to report on Kuffel’s departure, noting that a memo about it went out to staff a day after she got heat from a conservative media personality for criticizing Musk’s shocking gesture.
“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,” conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell shared Tuesday on X, the Musk-owned social media platform formerly called Twitter, alongside screenshots from what appear to be posts from Kuffel’s Instagram.
TVNL Comment: Sam Kuffel is gone from CBS, and CBS is now forever banned in my life. What sychophants and weak kneed cowards run this network. Welcome back, Nazi salutes.
