“Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a CNN spokesperson told @Mediaite exclusively. https://t.co/RR9pV4k4a7

Welp.

CNN confirms to me that Marc Lamont Hill is out.

you mean there is a limit to what can be said on CNN?

It took CNN a little while to put their money where their mouths are, but better late than never.

Bravo @CNN, Bravo.

Well, at least this frees up Marc Lamont Hill to devote more time to honing his anti-Semitic routine.

Update:

Something worth noting:

The one-sentence statement from CNN in the story doesn't say why he's no longer under contract with CNN, nor does it condemn or even reference his long history of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic statements, including at the U.N. yesterday. Utterly bizarre. https://t.co/euG5x1Pxwx

.@CNN dropping Marc Lamont Hill in a one-sentence statement is nonsense. Do they agree or not agree with his anti-Israel views? Yes or no?

So I guess they're not going to be spending two weeks on it like they would if it were a white Fox News Contributor who said this stuff and was subsequently fired. https://t.co/IOvr7ArTVq

Don’t get your hopes up.
