This hunky gay<\/a> weatherman was just fired from his job for standing up to anti-lockdown protestors<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sven Sundgaard is a beloved weatherman and gay<\/a> vlogger<\/a> from Minneapolis. Or at least he was<\/em> until last week when he was abruptly fired from his job at KARE-11 for calling out a gang of angry, far-right, anti-lockdown protesters on Facebook.<\/p>\n

39-year-old Sundgaard, who is one of highest profile LGBTQ people in the Twin Cities, was let go from his job of 14 years after he shared a post on Facebook from Michael Adam Latz, a rabbi from Minneapolis, who called the protesters “white nationalist Nazi sympathizer gun fetishist miscreants.”<\/p>\n

The dissidents had congregated outside Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s residence on April 17 at the urging of Donald Trump<\/a>, who tweeted to “Liberate Minnesota” earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

LIBERATE MINNESOTA!<\/p>\n

One protester in particular carried a large sign with an image of Gov. Walz wearing Hitler mustache and the word “Fuhrer” written over his head.<\/p>\n

Sundgaard shared Latz’s post but deleted it a short while later. But not before a group of right-wing activists saw it and, of course, demanded he be fired from his job.<\/p>\n

Then last Friday, KARE-TV announced<\/a> it was bending to the anti-lockdown protestors demands and letting its beloved weatherman go “due to continued violations of KARE11’s news ethics and other policies.”<\/p>\n

“Due to continued violations of KARE11’s news ethics and other policies, we have made the decision to part ways with Sven Sundgaard,” the station said in a statement. “We hope you continue to turn to KARE 11 for your news, traffic, weather and more.”<\/p>\n

Due to continued violations of KARE11’s news ethics and other policies, we have made the decision to part ways with Sven…<\/p>\n

Posted by KARE 11<\/a> on Friday, May 1, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Unfortunately for the network, its decision to abandon one of its most beloved personalities and a faithful employee of 14 years has not gone over well with many of its viewers.<\/p>\n

“I am on the side of science and Sven,” one person commented. “Due to the poor ethics of KARE 11, I have decided to part ways with KARE 11.”<\/p>\n

“Sven was part of the reason I watched Kare11,” another said, “so I’ll just choose another network for my news.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“Sad that a weatherman is held to a higher standard than our current president,” a third person wrote.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Sundgaard made his first public remarks since his dismissal.<\/p>\n

“Hello everyone, I see you, I hear you, I love you all!” he wrote in a Facebook post. “I first want to thank those who have supported and followed me throughout my time at KARE 11. And, I am especially grateful to those who have sent supportive and kind messages over the last several days.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He went on to say that he “disagrees” with why he was fired and is “considering my options at this time.”<\/p>\n
