Just when you thought CNN couldn’t cover themselves in any more glory …

CNN Photo Editor Posted Vicious Anti-Semitic Tweets on Deaths of 'Jewish Pigs' https://t.co/qk3jbUwjL2 — Mediaite (@Mediaite) July 25, 2019

More from Mediaite’s Caleb Howe:

Arthur Schwartz, a GOP operative, first resurfaced the posts from CNN photo editor Mohammed Elshamy. He did so by tagging CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski who, with Nathan McDermott, published an article about their own unearthing of past statements by Trump Treasury pick and former Fox News personality Monica Crowley. Schwartz suggested CNN look in-house equally as thoroughly.

Was CNN too busy to do a background check on the guy they hired?

Hey @CNNPR. You should have @KFILE look into the social media activities of your employees. He might find things like this gem from CNN’s @elshamyme talking about “Jewish pigs” killed by Palestinian terrorists. pic.twitter.com/NwL2d78RME — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) July 25, 2019

Hey @CNNPR. How does someone like @elshamyme who tweets things like this get through the hiring process at CNN? Asking for some friends. pic.twitter.com/6NAjINmYhQ — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) July 25, 2019

Hey @CNNPR. Why did @elshamyme protect his twitter account? Because of his comments about “Jewish pigs” being killed by terrorists? You got lots more just like him at CNN. pic.twitter.com/HeVbEJW6if — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) July 25, 2019

Hell of an operation they’re running over there.

But hey, it’s OK, because last night, CNN accepted Elshamy’s resignation:

Just in from @CNNPR: "The network has accepted the resignation of a photo editor, who joined CNN earlier this year, after anti-Semitic statements he'd made in 2011 came to light." https://t.co/IPHu4b0XKl — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) July 26, 2019

The statements only came to light because Arthur Schwartz brought them to light. The anti-Semitism was literally coming from inside the house and CNN had no idea?

Weird. How did he slip through your rigorous vetting process, Brian? — [shrug emoji] (@jtLOL) July 26, 2019

Meanwhile, it’s pretty nice for Elshamy that CNN “accepted his resignation” and let him walk away with some dignity rather than having to take a decisive stand against anti-Semitism.

CNN accepted his resignation? Why was the vicious bigot allowed to resign? Why wasn’t he fired? https://t.co/6yc3zeaO1c — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) July 26, 2019

Apparently this person has been fired but why was he hired in the first place? Great work Arthur https://t.co/wqSHHuO0om — Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) July 26, 2019

Great work, CNN!

Same company that doxxed an elderly woman from Facebook and a man because of meme! Couldn’t find a tweet from a guy they hired! Great work team! — Brent ?☠⚡️??? (@BuccoGrave) July 26, 2019

You should at least vet your own employees’ social media as aggressively as you do little old ladies who post on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/F3PADq6uBE — Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) July 26, 2019
