CNN has cut ties with conservative commentator Ryan James Girdusky after a heated exchange with Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan on “NewsNight” on Monday.

“I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” Girdusky said during the exchange with Hasan. 

Host Abby Phillip said Girdusky’s on-air comment was out of line.

“[W]e will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed. Ryan Girdusky will not be welcomed back at our network,” the network said after the segment.

In response, Gidursky said “apparently you can’t go on CNN if you make a joke.”
