It was announced Thursday by the Des Moines Register that reporter Aaron Calvin, who dug up 8-year-old offensive tweets of a local hero who raised over $1.14 million for sick children, was let go due to his own past social media posts.
“Until readers called to our attention some inappropriate posts from several years ago, the Register was unaware of them,” the Register’s executive editor Carol Hunter said on Thursday.
