"I’m not going to listen to that": CNN panel explodes over transphobic explanation of Trump win

Salon  

CNN’s “NewsNight” descended into squabbling on Friday after a panelist was called out for echoing transphobic rhetoric in a heated post-election exchange. “I think there are a lot of families out there who don’t believe boys should play a girls' sport,” Singleton said. We’re talking about a tiny, tiny sliver of the population.” Panels on the network have been tense in recent weeks, with one recent discussion of the war in Gaza devolving into chaos after a MAGA pundit joked that Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan should share the fate of Hezbollah members killed in an exploding pager attack. “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” Ryan Girdusky said after Hasan called himself a supporter of the Palestinian people.
