Conservative Host Up And Walks Off Set Of Own Show When Co-Host Calls Her ‘Nazi’
Daily Caller ^ | October 30, 2024 | Robert McGreevy

Posted on 10/30/2024 9:11:59 AM PDT by Red Badger

The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Amber Duke walked off set after her co-host Nomiki Konst said Duke “made Nazi comments in the past.”

“Rising is shorter than usual today because I chose not to continue sitting at a desk with someone who falsely accused me of ‘Nazi writings’ because they were losing an argument,” Duke, who previously worked as the Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent, tweeted Tuesday.

“I think I have been unfathomably patient with my cohost but everyone has a line,” she wrote.

The pair were discussing a controversy surrounding former CNN contributor Ryan Gidursky’s dismissal from the network when Konst said “you’ve made Nazi comments in the past, I’m not gonna bring that up.”

Duke defended herself. “I haven’t made Nazi comments,” she retorted.

“After the segment was over my cohost started screaming and insisting I had done Nazi writings while working for the Daily Caller. We got into it once before off air but nothing like this. It was incredibly toxic,” Duke told the Daily Caller.

“I left because I won’t sit at a desk with someone who would seriously accuse me of Nazism. Oddly enough, I took my rosary with me to the studio and set it next to my computer this morning because I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. I think it’s the only way I was able to stay relatively calm throughout the ordeal,” she concluded.

The spat stemmed from their Gidursky discourse after he jokingly told pro-Palestinian commentator Medhi Hasan’s he hopes his “beeper doesn’t go off” during a Monday episode of CNN‘s “News Night With Abby Phillip.”

The joke was likely a reference to the mass-pager explosions that Israel allegedly orchestrated against members of the terrorist organization Hezbollah based in Lebanon. Girdusky made the comment after Hasan quipped “if you don’t want to be called Nazis, stop … saying things.”

The Daily Caller reached out to Rising and Konst for comment but did not hear back by time of publication.

The media needs to start treating Nazi as another N word, verboten.

I very much disagree. "Nazi" is a perfectly reasonable thing to call people who support Socialism, Gun Control, Abortion, and every other evil thing under the sun.

It is an accurate description of the Democrat leadership.

Thanks! I wasn't familiar with that.

And, it figures, there's a paper on it...

CW-II is coming. Sad, but true.

I don't understand why anyone believes this. It isn't going to happen. Americans prefer, even BEG for, peaceful slavery. I see this all the time and it is simply laughable. You have an electorate that is too busy working for the paycheck that pays the mortgage and the car payments and the credit card bills and the light bill and keeps the spouse in creature comforts and food on the table and the clothes on the kids' back. You know, all the "necessities" of the so-called "good life". The American dream. Not to mention all the "cool sh*t" we have to own. The RVs, dirtbikes, side x sides, ATVs, boats. And hopefully we have enough $$$ left over to buy the booze we're gonna drink while watching the "Big Game" on that cool new 80" flat LED TV.

The truth is, the Founders gave us a way to end the current reign and institute new without a drop of bloodshed. Stop consenting. Do not participate in the system. Go Amish. But see, folks ain't willing to do that. It would cost them too much. It would cost them all those things I mentioned above. But the American public has to have all the cool stuff and creature comforts. Those start going away, and we are going to have a real problem on our hands. Which is why the American public will fight and beg, if necessary, to continue their lifestyles.

The myth of "CWII" is akin to the myth that someday the feds will go door to door confiscating firearms. So, we get all puffed up and fly our culpepper flags and proudly claim, "Come and take 'em!". Lol. The feds aren't that dumb. When they actually do come for the guns, many, if not a majority of gun owners in America will be begging the feds to take their guns. Why?

Again, the feds ain't stupid. With a few isolated exceptions, they won't come door to door. They will simply make certain/all firearms illegal, institute mandatory buyback with a short grace period. After that, it will be some outrageous annual or even possibly a daily fine for not turning in your firearms. Once a certain fine has built up, theyt start dropping liens. On your house, your car, your hunting property, your paycheck...once they get to the point that the spouse is leaving and taking the kids with her to her parent's place because it's the middle of winter and the electric just got cut for non-payment and they can't afford to live anymore, many will beg for relief.

How do you expect CWII from a populace that can't even stop consenting? It won't happen.

Just saying. My experience has been that socking people in the mouth for not keeping a civil tongue in their head tends to solve the problem.

A lot more people would speak politely if they knew that getting socked in the mouth was on the table.

As a wise man once said:

„Anyone who calls his opponent a Nazi is a scoundrel from the ethical point of view,
a trivializer from the historical point of view,
a zero from the intellectual point of view.“

Dear MSM and other leftists, are you paying attention? 🤔

Nomiki is a modern Greek individual name; it means, „the lawful/righteous one“ (pertaining to a woman or girl, as it has a feminine ending).

In Greek „nomos“ means „law“, and „Nomikos“ would be the male form of „Nomiki“.

Her last name is Greek, too. It’s a shortened form of the family’s original last name, which was „Konstantakis“.

🙂
