VisitCNN Ousts Ryan Girdusky After 'Beeper' Comment to Mehdi Hasan During 'NewsNight' Clash
Oct 29, 2024, 03:27 AM
On October 29, 2024, Ryan Girdusky was removed from a CNN panel discussion after making a remark to fellow panelist Mehdi Hasan that was deemed unacceptable by the network. During a heated debate on "NewsNight," Girdusky told Hasan, "I hope your beeper doesn't go off," following Hasan's comments referring to conservatives as "Nazis" and expressing support for Palestinians. Host Abby Phillip intervened, warning Girdusky that "there is a line that was crossed," and apologized to Hasan. CNN issued a statement describing Girdusky's comment as "the lowest of the lowest," adding, "There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN. Ryan Girdusky will not be welcomed back at our network."
