Fact-Checker For ‘The New Yorker’ Who Slandered ICE agent ‘Resigns’

Dangerous: A fact-checker for the New Yorker magazine announced she “voluntarily” resigned after she wrongly accused an ICE agent of sporting a Nazi tattoo.

“I resigned voluntarily, and was not coerced to do so. I did feel that in the right-wing media environment (and while being singled out by Milo Yiannopoulos for doing my job) I was being used against my colleagues. I was not fired,” the far-left, Harvard educated former Conde Nast employee wrote on Twitter.

This month, Lavin made remarks that Justin Gaertner, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan and is now an ICE forensics analyst, had a tattoo on his elbow that was a Nazi Iron Cross.

ICE said in a statement the embarrassing tweet from Lavin was deleted after “military veterans responded that the tattoo looked more like a Maltese cross, a symbol associated with firefighters.”

Gaertner clarified the tattoo was a “Titan 2” symbol that represented the platoon he served with in Afghanistan.  more
