*A New Hampshire radio host has been fired after going on a racist tirade and livestreaming it on social media.
Dianna Ploss, the former host at WSMN, broadcast herself verbally attacking a Latino landscaping crew on Main Street in Nashua, and a Black man who attempted to intervene.
“It is America, you should be speaking English. You should be speaking English,” she says to the landscaping crew in the video. “It’s English, English, English. Is anyone here illegal?”
The Black man was having lunch nearby when he saw this woman acting a fool and said something. “Why are you wearing a mask,?” she asked him. To her Facebook Live audience, she said derisively, “He’s a Black man, and he’s going go to protect the brown man from this white woman.”

Needless to say, an online petition for her prompt removal ensued, and she was fired. “We at WSMN value freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and assembly,” the station said in a statement. “We will not tolerate discrimination racism or hatred.”
Ploss was unapologetic in her response on Facebook Live Monday night, saying, “Here’s what I have to say to those who have attacked me: F*** you. F*** you. Now get out of my way because I have a country to save.”
The landscaping company spoke out on social media about the attack. “At Morin’s, we recognize that any success we are able to achieve is only through the collaborative efforts of the many extremely talented and hardworking individuals who are not only native to our area, but also represent several countries and various cultures,” the company said.
