'The hell is going on over there'? Man who describes himself as CNN Arabic presenter also has troubling anti-Semitic history [screenshots]

CNN recently accepted the resignation of photo editor Mohammed Elshamy after GOP operative Arthur Schwartz brought some of Elshamy’s anti-Semitic tweets to their attention. But it looks like when CNN tried to clean house, they missed a spot.

Schwartz has also been looking through tweets by Kareem Farid, who describes himself as a presenter on CNN Arabic‘s tweets and they’re decidedly problematic:

Hey @CNNPR. Is everyone at @CNN a fan of Hitler or is it just this guy? Looking forward to @oliverdarcy & @brianstelter covering this. pic.twitter.com/7o5XnCCzX0

Hey @CNNPR. Do you know that one of your employees refers to Adolf Hitler as “Comrade Hitler?” Not a good look. pic.twitter.com/T06Uxp5bmc

CNN should take a look at their vetting process for new hires. Unless this is who they’re looking to hire. pic.twitter.com/ZSXvUw4bSV

Btw, Two days before this tweet I wrote That he is a fascist. I was commenting on some parts of a biography book I read about him at this time. Taking tweets out of context is not cool ?https://t.co/CfLrU8EuD1

If you called Hitler a fascist two days before you proclaimed your love for him that tells me that you love fascists. Thanks for playing. https://t.co/9APdOABCVU

Another CNN presenter, Kareem Farid, has some hostile opinions on the Jews. Here, he recites a phrase popularized by the likes of AQ & MB that calls for the murder of Jews. #ThisIsCNN

CNN Worldwide VP and spokesman Matt Dornic claims that Farid is not employed by CNN:

False. He is not employed nor paid by CNN. But you could’ve checked that first.

Apparently Farid missed that memo, then:

This is what his profile said before you got to him and had him change it. Are you saying he has no affiliation with CNN and never did? pic.twitter.com/pu8s50VqkV

Matt, he was presenting on his CNN Arabic show last week on Jul 18. Care to clarify? pic.twitter.com/EuolFD0Vpe

Hey @mdornic. You said CNN isn’t responsible for and can’t comment on @KareemFarid’s anti-Semitic rhetoric because he has nothing to do with CNN. Were you lying or simply uninformed? https://t.co/RRyBFUL6LO
