Knox County DA fires prosecutor over posts praising Nazis, advocating killing migrants

The post and reposts go beyond what many would consider political statements and include references endorsing Nazism and targeting Black people

The Knox County district attorney fired an assistant prosecutor May 5 hours after Knox News asked the office questions about a social media account the staff attorney used to post vile racist and sexist messages.

Berkley Mason began working for the DA’s office in October 2024 and frequently posted to X, formerly Twitter. The account was deleted immediately after the DA’s office told Knox News it had fired him. The post and reposts go beyond what most would consider political statements and include references endorsing Nazism and the killing of migrants, and blaming Black people for America’s problems.

    I don’t know what the fuss is about, seems like a southern gentleman

    Guess I need to add this /s

    in response to a post saying something “reeks of Nazism.” “If that’s the case then cool. HH. 1488. We’re going to put you in a camp. Happy now?”

    ETA: obviously he’s an abhorrent pos, the district attorneys announcement reads like ‘fuck, now every minority he prosecuted is going to sue’. As well they should. In a perfect world this asshole would be in jail, in the real world he’ll be in the DOJ next week.
