Not to worry, Trump critics are still on air at CNN. Apparently ADL led the campaign to get him fired:

CNN on Thursday severed ties with contributor Marc Lamont Hill over his comments about Israel during a United Nations speech. “We have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit to political action, grass-roots action, local action and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea,” Hill said, with the last nine words provoking widespread outrage. “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a network spokesperson confirmed to Mediaite.

Did he really believe he can go around saying anything?

He thought that stuff was just a conspiracy?

[Schifference]

Was he fired for his comments or because he is black?

[KEEF]

Missed this, what did he say?

Apparently he used some wording that is used by some extremist Israelis and Palestinains :

“Between the Sea and the Jordan There Will Only Be Israeli Sovereignty”

The phrase that apparently prompted CNN to fire Marc Lamont Hill has a long history in Israel.

Not that his critics care.

Marc Lamont Hill, an academic and author, spoke for 20 minutes at the United Nations in New York on Wednesday about Palestinian rights in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. He lamented that 70 years after the displacement of Palestinians, they remain refugees. He criticized Israeli laws that restrict Palestinians from full citizenship rights. He spoke against the Israeli criminal justice system, including its “administrative detention” of Palestinians without trial, and its 99 percent conviction rate. He also said, at one point, “We have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit to political action, grassroots action, local action, and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”

Less than 24 hours later, Hill was fired by CNN, where he had been a political contributor.

CNN did not cite a reason for its decision, but in the hours after his speech, the Anti-Defamation League and others had zeroed in on the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which they described as a Hamas mantra and a call for “an end to the State of Israel.”

Trump had tweeted recently when ABC fired Roseanne over her tweet, don't think he should tweet about this. Free Speech situation is already too ploarized in America lately.

Since ADL is leading this charge, unlikely as it is an anti-racism group and opposes racial supremacy.
If I recall right, ADL was the first American group that had called on Israel to lift ban on marriage between people of different races and remove racist laws of return and departure from its legal system.

Wow! Had he just replaced Palestinians with Illegal immigrants and refugees at our Southern boarder and then replace Israel with the United States and Trump, CNN and the Left would have hailed him as a hero.
