Former Weatherman's Lawsuit Against Tegna is Moved to Federal Court

Back in May of 2020, FTVLive told you that KARE (Minneapolis) had parted ways with Weatherman Sven Sundgaard after he made 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 has sued KARE and parent company Tegna and it appears that the case is heading to trial.

But, according to court records, the case is being moved from state court to federal court at the request of Tegna lawyers.

Stay tuned….
