CNN will no longer use freelance international correspondent Karl Penhaul, after a series of tweets to Donald Trump and members of his family calling the Republican presidential candidate a racist.

[South40]

It's great that CNN fired the twit, but they will never be seen as objective.

Take yourself and your family and go live in the barrio, Ken.

Then let’s see how long you last and whether you’re a “racist’

[A_Former_Democrat]

Make that KKKarl

Let that be a lesson to you, punk. Don’t screw around with a billionaire (especially one who is not a professional politician! ;)

I don't watch CNN, so I have no idea of who this Karl Pendejo character is, but I take it that it's no great loss...

I dont understand what gave him the impression that he can be an on-air “reporter” and then use Twitter under his real name to call people names.

CNN does not want the Rosie ODonnell ghetto beatdown. LOL!

I don't watch CNN either. But I have a feeling had he just omitted the word "racist" he would have been ok.

ROFL ROFL

Snowflake entitlement. Been that way a while in journalism. Some places curb it, some don’t. Most don’t until something like this happens, a grievance is filed and a week later the reporter is brought back after people forget.

Not just people, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. And he thought so because employees of his network and other networks regularly display absolutely zero respect for any Republican candidate making this action by CNN completely hypocritical at best when they all do it.

[South40]

CNN is a joke and they know it. This man was expendable. So they threw him to the wayside in a vain attempt at objectivity.

It failed.

Maybe they needed to call Mexico first and find out how well it’s going with THE DONALD.

Since when is “Mexican” a race?

[aquila48]

Can CNN also drop CNN?

[molson209]

What ! CNN removing their Butt Plugs

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well likely that and they don’t want the Rosie ODonnell Gheto beatdown that Trump is now dishing out to Univision. LOL!

Anything is a race when someone says something deemed untoward about it. Heck, even islam is a race these, days, haven't you heard?
