CNN put out a statement and Abby Philip released a clip:

Girdusky is doubling down saying it was a joke:
The important thing is that we remain civil and use inclusive language while we discuss whether or not an entire population including children, non combatants, and international aid workers should be stripped of human rights and murdered.
Can't believe a fascist would say this. So crazy.
I'm a little surprised CNN fired him. They got bought out by shitheads and it's sole purpose now is to masquerade as news while being the thinnest end of the wedge for nazi conservative bullshit.
This guy's tactical mistake was forgetting to be gentlemanly and news anchorly about it.
CNN loves mainstreaming guys like Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, and Eric Erickson to collect the wingnut welfare checks that come with them.
It's only when they start costing more than they bring in that they get cut loose. Then they roll out new "respectable" conservative front men to replace the old ones.
"Clown wanders into news room and is upset that they placed a 'no clowns' sign outside after throwing him out"
It's just a joke.
Then go be a racist comedian at a Trump rally.
People are trying to discuss things.
I don’t feel that Tony is a racist. Does he make racist jokes yes. Is he known for this yes. So having him come on as a speaker you should already be aware of what will come out of his mouth. And if you have a problem with what he might say maybe don’t have him as a guest speaker.
Also while his joke has gotten the lime light it was not the most concerning thing said at that rally. Because once again he is a roast comedian, while the others on that stage said things that should be heard as well because of how worrying they are.
Hey hold on a moment. He's not a racist, he's just a guy who has made it his identity to say racist things, which other people (who are also definitely not racist) enjoy laughing at!
You are delusional.
This article is terrible. It doesn't mention that the beeper attack was a terrorist attack that killed and injured numerous civilians, including women and children.
It doesn’t mention that the beeper attack was a terrorist attack
CNN anchors were practically bragging about how surgical and sophisticated the act was when it occurred. Nevermind the collateral damage, it's actually incredibly cool when you circulate bombs through a civil population in an effort to cripple one Iranian diplomat.
I feel like every time there's a story posted that's even tangentially related to Israel, there's some Lemmy user in the comments ready to complain that the article wasn't written with their preferred anti-Israel slant...
At some point, we just have to accept that you're complainIng for the sake of complaining, not for the sake of adding anything to the conversation. You seem more interested in being heard signalling virtue than actually saying something of value.
There's a whole pullquote describing the beeper attack, and it doesn't even include the word "terrorist"
Its not a slant to describe a terrorist attack as a terrorist attack. Its called being objective and reporting facts.
Lol. What a little bitch
Girdusky responded, “You’re called an anti-Semite more than anyone at this table.”
Hasan replied, “Yeah, by you.”
Girdusky fired back, “I never called you an anti-Semite.”
Buddy, you just did
Never. Stop. Lying.
As long as you keep getting platformed, some number of people will eventually believe you.
“Just joking” is the sorry-not-sorry of the fascist world.
Note that Girdusky is listed as one of the board of advisors of American Moment which is a group that's listed by the Heritage Foundation as a Project 2025 partner
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
