5 days ago, FTVLive told you that KARE (Minneapolis) had parted ways with Weatherman Sven Sundgaard after a Facebook post in which he quoted a Rabbi.

Rabbi Michael Adam Latz posted about the people holding rallies to reopen businesses in the midst of the pandemic and called them, “white nationalist Nazi sympathizer gun fetishist miscreants.” Sundgaard quoted the post from the Rabbi in a post of his own and for that, the station fired him.

Sundgaard broke his silence after his firing, posting this message to his Facebook page, “Many have asked me about KARE11’s post regarding my employment and separation from employment. Here's what I have to say about that for now: I disagree with and dispute my former employers claims and I am considering my options at this time.”

He then added, “I am especially grateful to those who have sent supportive and kind messages over the last several days since the station so publicly announced that it had parted ways with me - and then published its alleged reasons for doing so.”

He is also seeking advice from his followers.

Here is his post in full:
