"Dear Joe: "I'm writing to let you know about a sick and illegal action recently performed by a fellow member of the NBC News family. CNBC financial commentator John Layfield, on a recent trip to Germany, publicly performed the Nazi "Heil Hitler" salute several times, while "goosestepping". This is illegal in Germany, and he knows it. Such actions can only bring the United States into disrepute at a time when we're already struggling with our European allies. And he did it only a few days before the D-Day anniversary! CNBC should not employ such a sick, sad person."
