In a shocking moment caught live, MAGA follower Ryan Girdusky was booted from CNN after suggesting a Muslim co-panelist was a terrorist on Monday night.
During NewsNight he told journalist Mehdi Hasan, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” after a discussion about racist comments, specifically comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial jokes about black people, migrants, and Puerto Rico.
The quote is a reference to recent pager bombings in Lebanon that killed at least 42 people.
CNN confirmed that Girdusky was gone for good, saying in a statement, in part, “There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air.”
