Katie McHugh, the Breitbart writer who tweeted a number of incendiary remarks in the immediate aftermath of the London terror attack, is no longer with the right-wing news site, four sources familiar with the situation told CNN.
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow announced McHugh's departure internally Monday morning.
McHugh had ignited controversy on Saturday night when she wrote on Twitter that "there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn't live there." "You're a real moron," actor Pej Vahdat replied.
"You're an Indian," shot back McHugh, incorrectly identifying the ethnicity of Vahdat, who is Iranian-American.
McHugh's comments prompted outrage from a number of her own colleagues. Breitbart employees who spoke to CNN Sunday characterized McHugh's remarks as "appalling," "terrible," and "dumb."

Where is Katie McHugh wrong?!? Or is political correctness the replacement for the Truth?
She shouldn’t have lost her job over that, good grief people
cnn et al say worse things by the hour Colbert, Maher, hor donna . . GMAB
The “actor” is the one who’s the moron.
1) Maybe. But suggesting that Muslims shouldn't live in the UK is not a racially tinged remark. She's commenting on their death cult of a religion, not on anyone's race.
2) We need to stop worrying about politeness. Muslims shouldn't live in the West. They can't handle it. They don't fit. They just cause trouble.
Sounds right to me, did I miss something?
Stop the scalps - so stupid by Breitbart.
Breitbart is going the way of FOX.
A caller to their radio show this morning opined to Joel Pollak, who was hosting, that they seem to want to go all tepid mainstream (I paraphrase) rather than, for example, cover the murder of Seth Rich.
And Pollak simply ended the call without offering any response on that at all.
Breitbart employees who spoke to CNN Sunday characterized McHugh’s remarks as “appalling,” “terrible,” and “dumb.”
I characterize any Breitbart employee speaking to CNN ‘appalling’, ‘terrible’ and ‘dumb’....if this is indeed true that they did.
Maybe we need to send the Stop the Scalpings folks, who’ve helped Hannity, over to Breitbart, on behalf of Katie.
The TRUTH in this situation IS “appalling,” “terrible,” and “dumb.” you morons!
If instead of getting their own house in order, we continue to get these incidents along with the Mayor of London saying things like "get used to it", the sentiment behind McHugh' s tweet is going to become much more common. And a point will come that not only will there be no distinction made between nominal Muslims and their radical brethren, but no distinction will be made between Muslims and their non-muslim enablers.
Sometimes the truth is racially tinged. 100% of "teens", "youths", and "youngsters" agree with me.
What's that old saying about a lie going around the world before Truth gets his pants on...
She should have used the Reza Aslan defense: It was the “Kuru” talking.
there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn’t live there
Well, I guess if there is any lingering IRA activity, but I don’t think there is, is there?
Would someone knowingly loose a poisonous snake or insect into their house? And would it not be reasonable to expect that someone would eventually be bitten? Seems to me this is our immigration problem; letting in hordes of snakes without sorting out the poisonous ones. Oh wait, that’s what President Trump wants to do but liberals prefer we be bitten by the poisonous ones. Go figure.........
Wow! Getting fired for telling the truth at Breitbart. Not good.
“there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn’t live there.”
Nothing wrong with that.
