OMAHA- Omaha conservative radio personality Chris Baker was fired after posting an offensive tweet about the Derek Chauvin verdict. The tweet showed a GIF of Black men with body paint and dancing, with spears in front of them. Above the picture he tweeted, "Guilty!" Baker tweeted this just one hour after the verdict was read.

When asked about the tweet, Baker said it was a "boomer Twitter moment" following with "That’s not me, that’s not who I really am". He further noted that he knows it was horrible and said his intentions were not to be racist.

The calls for Baker to be fired and for his advertisers to pull away rolled in immediately and continued after the tweet was deleted. A long time guest of the show, local activist, Preston Love Jr. said all he felt was disgust. He was also shocked to see Baker be fired so swiftly.

Sen. John McCollister, a frequent critic of members of his own Republican Party, tweeted a screenshot of Baker's post saying, "Racism like this is a FEATURE of conservative talk radio but they usually mask it with dog whistles. But not this time.”
