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.

    Can’t wait for the executive order reinstating this shit bag.

    Please, do tell me that an executive order can’t do that.

    And do that for all the other executive orders that aren’t in any way binding or legal yet the people who LITERALLY have the power to say NO are treating as perfectly acceptable.
