A producer for Matt Gaetz’s One America Network show has been fired after he sparked turmoil at the MAGA network for sharing a blatantly antisemitic video on social media, prompting at least one anchor to publicly condemn Gaetz and the staffer.

TheWrap was the first to report that Vish Burra, a booker and scriptwriter for The Matt Gaetz Show. The Independent has since confirmed Burra has been terminated, with network executives finding his posts to be offensive and bigoted, according to sources.

“I’m very hurt, disappointed and concerned that someone I work with - chose to post this,” OAN’s Stella Escobedo, who recently scored an exclusive interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tweeted.

Burra, a longtime MAGA provocateur and George Santos’ former director of operations, has come under fire in recent days after he took to X and shared an AI-generated cartoon of himself barging into a “Scheming Room” – that was emblazoned with the Star of David – and threatening a group of Jews that were depicted as cockroaches. The Independent has reached out to OAN president Charles Herring and Burra for comment.
