• He described his social media activity as political satire, not journalism, and said it was intended to be humorous.
• The video, which went viral, criticized strong anti-Trump sentiments and suggested they were a 'sickness.'
• Elliott announced his firing on social media, attributing it to the station's disapproval of his political views.
• WLOX-TV has not publicly commented on the termination, and Elliott was already planning to leave the station.
