CNN has publicly apologized and banned its panelist who commented on a Muslim journalist. The channel had made an on-air comment on a Muslim journalist by its journalist, which the outlet had termed as racist. CNN apologized to the Muslim journalist and said that it has banned a conservative commentator from its network.

During a discussion late Monday night on the recent rhetoric made by US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally, Trump supporter and panelist Ryan James Girdusky  told Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan, "I hope your beeper doesn't go off."


However, Girdusky later apologized on air for his comments, but on social media he defended himself saying that it was a joke. Earlier, Hasan had said that he is a supporter of Palestine.
