Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthony show on Sirius Radio is continuing to attack his former network on Twitter after being fired for posting racist remarks.
The guido/redneck shock jock took to Twitter on Wednesday and called a black woman “a ‘c***’ and an ‘animal bitch’ after accusing him of punching him in the face after he was taking her picture.
He then bemoaned her payback on social media.
“2014 America. U can be assaulted by someone, comment that it is savage, animal behaviour, then be fired for those comments. #DoomNation”, he tweeted.

Sirius did not hesitate in firing the right-wing, gun-toting shock jock. In a statement the network said, “SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthony channel. The decision was made, and Cumia informed, late Thursday, July 3 after careful consideration of his racially-charged and hate-filled remarks on social media. Those remarks and postings are abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents”.
After losing his job Cumia tweeted, “Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to the bizarro world. Fired for shit that wasn’t even on the air & wasn’t illegal. So, who’s next?”
“After the wkend, I’ll have a better idea of things. Fuck Sirius. I’ll pop on the Compound show next week and discuss this with TOTAL FREEDOM.”

Cumia had been tweeting pictures of a woman he claimed was a stalker. “I should be allowed to stalk and photograph black women late at night,” he said.
The redneck renegade shock jock added more pictures after his sacking. “If this is a perv shot, I’d have zoomed in on her ass. It’s a pretty girl walking in NYC. Shitheads are reaching.”

The Opie & Anthony Show was a long history of being taken off the air. The FCC has twice removed the pair from the air for “violation of decency standards”.
The pair are held in such low esteem that even Donlad Trump referred to them as “two slobs”.
