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.

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!!!"

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

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

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

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

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours ago

So was Hillary. These people are deplorable.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 10 points 4 hours 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.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Also, who is he referring to?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Nobody. He's just playing victim.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 42 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Good for CNN.

[–] poo@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Conservatives are literal monsters

Sounds like NewsMax just got a new talking head.
