CNN reports:
Katie McHugh, the Breitbart writer who tweeted a number of incendiary remarks in the immediate aftermath of the London terror attack, is no longer with the right-wing news site, four sources familiar with the situation told CNN.
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow announced McHugh’s departure internally Monday morning. After this article was initially published, McHugh herself confirmed she was out, tweeting, “Breitbart News fired me for telling the truth about Islam and Muslim immigration” and posting a link to a fundraising page started to support her on the fringe right website WeSearchr.
McHugh had ignited controversy on Saturday night when she wrote on Twitter that “there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn’t live there.” “You’re a real moron,” actor Pej Vahdat replied. “You’re an Indian,” shot back McHugh, incorrectly identifying the ethnicity of Vahdat, who is Iranian-American.
WeSearchr is run by Chuck C. Johnson, the notorious troll booted permanently from Twitter for doxxing rape victims.

Indian tribes never bothered to build any kind of civilization. They killed each other and chased bison. Yawn~ https://t.co/U0B0lAPqqq

British settlers and their descendants built civilization. Indians never bothered to build more than a few teepees. https://t.co/2uGuMKjNnJ
