Later, Girdusky retaliated in a post on X, saying: “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.”

Ah yes, once again, when they get caught out being shitbags, "iT wAs JuSt A jOkE!!!"

Harris was right, these are very unserious people. They seem to spend their entire lives making "jokes".

[–] AbidanYre 27 points 1 month ago

So was Hillary. These people are deplorable.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

They have become so obsessed with triggering people for reactions they eventually forgot what a joke actually is.

"You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi"

It's not false.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also, who is he referring to?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear 11 points 1 month ago

Nobody. He's just playing victim.

Apparently you can’t go on CNN if you make a joke

Then what's the punchline, asshole? Jokes have punchlines. So what was it?

[–] billwashere 9 points 1 month ago

If we form a line to punch him in the face, would that qualify?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The punchline is that in the end white people are largely fine with terror attacks on brown people.

And that punch is killing hundreds every day with your taxpayer money.

By 'conservative commentator' they mean former writer for Richard Spencer, well known um... yeah, fucking Nazi.

Another thing to note about him: Girdusky is also 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

It wasn't just racist, it was a threat.

He said to Hasan that he hoped his pager didn't go off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Avoiding the obvious issue here that this is a terrorist threat based on a terrorist attack by an US backed terrorist state that got endorsed and cherished for its "sophisticated" terror attack instead of condemning the terror attack as being a despicable act of terror.

Sounds like NewsMax just got a new talking head.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Of all the people to make such a sick comment to, and try to be slick about it, he said that shit to Mehdi Hasan. The sharpest journalist and interviewer of our time.

Never should have had that Nazi fuck on in the first place.

[–] poo 14 points 1 month ago

Conservatives are literal monsters

[–] xc2215x 8 points 1 month ago

Good for CNN.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

People who want to split hairs on the term racist give away their bigotry they're trying to defend. Theres a few in the comments. He's a bigited asshole of some form for sure. But when you expend so much energy nitpicking "aha, but not racist, specifically." Yeah, that also makes YOU an asshole too.
