CNN removes Ryan Girdusky from ‘NewsNight With Abby Phillip’ mid-show, adopted by a everlasting ban on the community. The conservative political commentator drew backlash throughout Monday evening’s broadcast, after a verbal assault in opposition to Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan. In the aftermath, CNN says in a press release, ‘There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air… Ryan Girdusky won’t be welcomed again at our community.’ Girdusky later tweeted partly on X, ‘Apparently, you’ll be able to’t go on CNN if you happen to make a joke.’
