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.

    Not enough of these turds are being flushed. One good thing about social media, I must say, is that some of these jamokes do out themselves and then end up w/o a job.
