‘Did Your Guest Just Say I Should Be Killed On Live TV?!’ Mehdi Hasan Can’t Believe What CNN Panelist Just Said to Him
Hasan had opined that if people on the right did not want to be called "Nazis," they should refrain from behaviors that could be construed as anti-Semitic.
CNN put out a statement and Abby Philip released a clip:

Girdusky is doubling down saying it was a joke:
You're viewing a single thread.
Ryan James Girdusky, the POS in this clip, just posted on X: "You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi and have taken money from Qatar-funded media. Apparently you can't go on CNN if you make a joke. I'm glad America gets to see what CNN stands for." (I'm not going to post a link because fuck that platform.)
"Oh I was joking". If you were joking you wouldn't have told people you responded because you thought Mehdi said Hamas (which you didn't think, you heard Palestinian and got angry). You would have said it was a bad joke. What a typical Nazi crybully Girdusky is.
"I was just joking" is every fascist's go-to line when they realize their hatred is not accepted by present company. Walking that line between serious hate speech/incitement and "only joking" is absolutely characteristic of fascism.
Republicans think that a joke is what you retroactively call something you said in earnest as soon as you get pushback.
You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi
That's not falsely though. If you're supporting a party that's running a Nazi, you're a fucking Nazi.
Naah, the Nazis had better dress sense. Other than that, though...
Not every generation of Nazis can have a Hugo Boss
Now they just have a huge boss...
