Republican Ryan Girdusky let one of the best insults fly last night on CNN that I’ve ever heard someone say on their air and the panel did not like it one bit.
In a nutshell, Mehdi Hasan had just accused Girdusky of calling him an antisemite in the past and Girdusky objected. Hasan said something like ‘I’m a supporter of the Palestinians, I’m used to it’ and Girdusky fired back ‘well I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.’

The whole table exploded!
I think Girdusky lost his CNN job last night because Abby Phillips came back and apologized profusely and claimed Ryan crossed the line:
Phillip: I want to apologize to Mehdi Hasan for what was said at this table. It was completely unacceptable when we get this discussion started, you'll see that Ryan is not at the table… I want to apologize to the viewers at home pic.twitter.com/wyPaStHUex

Hasan had just accused Trump and Republicans of being Nazis so I don’t think Girdusky’s comment was that much different to be honest, other than it was aimed specifically at Hasan, who I’d bet does indeed support Hamas.
Here’s some of his so-called greatest hits:
