Wild moment CNN panelist is thrown off set for outrageous threat live on air during Trump rally debate

A conservative panelist was kicked off the set of a CNN show after a wild exchange with a liberal commentator about Trump’s heated rally in New York City.

Ryan Gidursky, an author and founder of 1776 Project PAC, responded to left-wing British commentator and Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan on Abby Phillip’s show.

Following the rhetoric used by Trump and speakers Tucker Carlson and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Madison Square Garden, many compared the rally to a Nazi rally as the pair became agitated.

Hasan said: “My problem is, I understand, no one wants to be called Nazis, it’s very inflammatory. But if you don’t want to be called Nazis, stop…”

Gidursky interrupted, noting that Hasan – who has often spoken out against Israel – “has been called an anti-Semite more than anyone else at this table.”

“Yes, with you,” Hasan snapped back, which Gidursky denied doing, to which Hasan replied, “Okay.”

Hasan then noted that he was a supporter of the Palestinians when Gidursky said, “Well, I hope your pager doesn’t go off.”

Gidursky appears to be referring to Hezbollah – the Iranian Islamic paramilitary group and terrorist organization – which was decimated when Israelis detonated their pagers.

Hasan looked at Phillip, then asked, “Did you say I had to die? You just said I should be killed.”

“No, no, I didn’t say that,” Gidursky replied.

He then turned to Phillip and asked, “Did your guest just say I should be killed on live television?”

There then appears to be some debate about whether Gidursky is confusing Hezbollah with Hamas, the terrorist group and political organization that governs Palestine.

Phillip admonishes Gidursky as he tries to apologize, saying, “That’s disgusting.”

Hasan then accuses CNN of having someone on the air saying that the Muslim man should be blown up.

‘Then I apologize. I focused on Hamas, I apologize,” Gidursky said.

“I don’t support Hamas, I support Palestinian rights,” Hasan responded. “What’s great is that Rudy Giuliani said this yesterday, so you’re a great guy to be here to defend Rudy Giuliani’s racism. This is what we are in now, this is America in 2024.”

After Gidursky tries to say he didn’t want Hasan killed, Hasan continues.

‘Forget racism, I have to die. What does beeper mean? What did you mean by the pager? At least have the courage to support your racist comment.’

At one point, Phillip can be heard saying softly, “Ryan, stop talking.”

“Don’t call us Nazis, threaten the brown man as a terrorist and kill him,” Hasan snapped.

Phillip then tries to call for calm after the discussion was further fueled by former Biden-Harris campaign aide Ashley Allison, who refused Gidursky’s apology.

“We have a lot of heated conversations on this show, but one of the things I don’t appreciate is when we cross the line,” she said.

“My apologies,” Gidursky said.

“I appreciate the apology, but I don’t want a conditional apology because I said something that was completely uncivil.”

Gidursky then says, “I misunderstood what we said, I thought he said Hamas.”

Beside himself, Hasan scoffs: “Yes, I went on CNN and said I support Hamas, what kind of idiots do you take us for? Ridiculous to say.’

Phillip then throws to break, but not before saying again that Gidursky had gone “too far.”

When they returned from the break, Phillip apologized to Hasan and to the viewers watching.

“I would like to apologize to Mehdi Hasan for what was said at this table. It was completely unacceptable as we get this discussion going, you’ll see Ryan isn’t at the table. A line has been crossed there and it is not acceptable to me. It is not acceptable for us on this network.”
