CNN has banned conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky following a controversial exchange with panelist Mehdi Hasan during a live segment on 'NewsNight with Abby Phillip.' Girdusky made a remark referencing a recent Israeli operation against Hezbollah, saying to Hasan, 'I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,' which was perceived as a suggestion of violence. The comment led to a heated on-air confrontation, with Hasan questioning if Girdusky was inciting violence against him. Abby Phillip, the show's host, apologized for the incident, stating that such remarks were unacceptable at CNN, and confirmed that Girdusky would not be returning to the network. CNN emphasized its commitment to fostering civil discourse and stated that there is zero tolerance for racism or bigotry on its platforms. The network clarified that Hasan was welcome to return, as his departure was not requested by CNN.
