This is my town, they did the right thing. Omaha has a small blue dot in this huge red sea of conservatives. I am so pleased they axed the radio host almost immediately. Sure, he had a "boomer" moment. Sorry dude, man up, you did it, you got caught, and now you .

Chris Baker, a right-wing radio host from Omaha, Nebraska, is facing backlash both online and in the real world after posting a racist GIF in response to the Derek Chauvin verdict.
Chauvin, who was on trial for the murder of George Floyd in 2020, was found guilty of 1 of second-degree unintentional murder, one of third-degree murder, and one of second-degree manslaughter.
Shortly after the jury's verdict was announced, Baker tweeted the phrase "Guilty!" with a GIF of four Black men wearing loincloths dancing.
The online outrage was nearly immediate, with someone sharing a screenshot of the tweet and asking Nebraska journalists if they thought it was appropriate.
The public overwhelmingly did not think it was appropriate.
It's a good read.
