WHOA… It looks like even CNN doesn’t wanna go there…
As I mentioned earlier, CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill came under intense scrutiny after using a slogan tied to anti-Semitic terror, “free Palestine from the river to the sea” at a UN speech:
Looks like he confirms he called for the destruction of Israel. Looking forward to the hangwringing at the NYT, a Voxsplainer, and all the pieces about how CNN incubates rabid anti-Semitism. pic.twitter.com/D2NqDcyrdo

Normally we deal with dog whistles, but Marc Lamont Hill finally just goes full Farrakhan

Marc Lamont Hill is a university professor and a CNN pundit, not some reddit troll.
Mainstream genocidal anti-Semitism. Yesterday CNN reported on the results of its anti-Semitism poll. The call is coming from inside the house.

I’ve never been naive about anti-Semitism in America, but honestly never thought I’d see a mainstream CNN guy and professor, on camera, shout “free Palestine from the river to the sea” at the UN, to thunderous applause, and see a collective shrug from even non-socialist liberals.

Seriously what the hell is wrong with you guys? This isn’t a dog whistle, this is basically “the Jews will not replace us!” I get that it sucks to see ppl on your side of the aisle turn out to be despicable anti-Semites, but get the hell out of your chair you complacent cowards.

Let’s be clear: “from the river to the sea” is an open call for Israel’s destruction, echoing the most extreme, violent, and hateful elements in the Arab-Israeli conflict. @marclamonthill‘s comments are unworthy of a leading news network like @CNN. pic.twitter.com/8KnxxIE4oi

He then tried to defend himself by entirely redefining what the slogan means… but not even CNN was buying it.

It turns out, there IS a limit… even at CNN.
Good riddance, A-hole.
