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.

Look at this little shit with all his teeth in his mouth
What am I looking at? A screenshot of a picture of a laptop tab?
You monster.
27%, time to plug in.
No.
I didn’t have much to work with, he deleted his X 😂
How dare they!
At least they did the sane thing and fired this person.
True, but it only happened after these journalists confronted the DA’s office with the results of their investigation. The DA says they had no idea this guy was a nazi, but if that’s true then their hiring and vetting process has serious problems, and I doubt those are going to be addressed in a meaningful way.
Yeah I had to double check the headline. Tennessee DA and fired for being anti-nazi.
It’s a weird day
We carried out a fairly extensive study through the 1940s on how best to interact with Nazis. If memory serves, fire was indeed involved, but iirc in a context other than employment status.
In all fairness, that data is quite outdated at this point: I think it’s long past due to engage in some peer review.
The sane thing would be for his Alma Mater to retroactively pull his diploma and any record of his attendance, his bank to close his account and send him a check (minus fees), his landlord to evict him, his cell and Internet service disconnected, and for him to be disbarred. Yeah, this is the kind of stuff a fascist regime would do to opponents but I’m really fucking fed up with how we pretty much accept Nazis to live and breath alongside us so long as they don’t physically violate someone’s person or property.
A small step in the right direction. Bet trump appoints him as a federal judge though.
Trump’s next supreme court judge.
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.

The only way this little shithead can feel adequate is by hiding behind his skin color.
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.
“County DA”
It’s not a federal position, so probably no.
But don’t be surprised if he gets appointed to a DOJ position.
Good to see that they made the right call.
