‘Did Your Guest Just Say I Should Be Killed On Live TV?!’ Mehdi Hasan Can’t Believe What CNN Panelist Just Said to Him
Hasan had opined that if people on the right did not want to be called "Nazis," they should refrain from behaviors that could be construed as anti-Semitic.
CNN put out a statement and Abby Philip released a clip:

Girdusky is doubling down saying it was a joke:
You're viewing a single thread.
It's just a joke.
Then go be a racist comedian at a Trump rally.
People are trying to discuss things.
I don’t feel that Tony is a racist. Does he make racist jokes yes. Is he known for this yes. So having him come on as a speaker you should already be aware of what will come out of his mouth. And if you have a problem with what he might say maybe don’t have him as a guest speaker.
Also while his joke has gotten the lime light it was not the most concerning thing said at that rally. Because once again he is a roast comedian, while the others on that stage said things that should be heard as well because of how worrying they are.
Hey hold on a moment. He's not a racist, he's just a guy who has made it his identity to say racist things, which other people (who are also definitely not racist) enjoy laughing at!
You are delusional.
Tony constantly has hispanic/black comedians on his platform. You are hyper focused on his joke and already made up your mind. Racist don’t bring minorities to their platform and promote them.
