Michael Hirsh, national editor at Politico, resigned after sharing
addresses of white nationalist Richard Spencer, CNBC has confirmed.
The Daily Caller first reported the news and took screenshots of Hirsh's remarks before they were deleted.
"Stop whining about
Richard B. Spencer, Nazi, and exercise your rights as decent Americans.
Here are his two addresses," Hirsh said in a public Facebook post
captured by
The Daily Caller.
Hirsh made a similar
comment on Monday, tweeting that it's "good" that Spencer would be
moving to Washington and that "it's important that we know where he
lives."
Politico's John Harris, editor-in-chief, and Carrie Budoff Brown, editor, said that Hirsh's comments crossed a line.
"These posts were
clearly outside the bounds of acceptable discourse, and POLITICO editors
regard them as a serious lapse of newsroom standards. They crossed a
line in ways that the publication will not defend, and editors are
taking steps to ensure that such a lapse does not occur again," Harris
and Brown said in a statement to CNBC.
Hirsh made the posts after Spencer, president and director of the National Policy Institute, said "Hail
Trump" and "hail our people" during a conference in
Washington D.C. on Saturday. Spencer later said his
comments were meant to be "cheeky," "exuberant" and "ironic."
All this fuss because approximately 200 WNs made salutes and chanted Heil this and that. ROFL @ The MSM.
