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.
Cagney was learning about the umlaut in “One Two Three”. Good scene...
I saw it. He should know better. This close to an election emotions are hotter than ever. People on both sides need to be mindful how the entire electorate would react. Pause and ask yourself worse case scenario if I say this? Best case scenario?
Those on the Left know there is no downside.................
Trump is in a tie in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Turnout, or Turnoff voters
Nomiki is of Greek origin and Konst is Dutch.
No actual punches were thrown. Buckley said that he would punch Vidal if he kept calling Buckley a crypto-nazi.
Ingeborg : Here’s your mail, here’s your Wall Street Journal, and here’s my resignation.
C.R. MacNamara : Resignation? What are you talking about?
Ingeborg : You do not work me overtime anymore, you do not take advantage of me on weekends, you have lost all interest in the... umlaut. So obviously, my services are no longer required here
Civil War II, The Electric Boogaloo, already started.
Haven’t been called a Nazi yet, but my answer would be:
“I’m not a Nazi, but my father educated me very well about them. He was born in Italy and was a drummer boy for Mussolini. He said it was not a voluntary position. His father left Italy and took the family to the USA after Mussolini sent soldiers to all the villages to confiscate the women’s jewelry. Most only had a wedding band. Then my father fought in the US Army against Hitler. I know a lot more about Hitler than you do”
There will not be a civil war. It will be success or there will be collapse.
It’s about time we refused to accept charges of being a Nazi.
“Nazi” is the new N-word!
Walking off the show works. Next show she should return the ugliness... that's all liberal bullies understand.
“The establishment has gone too far and if someone can’t recognize it and votes Democrat, I don’t want to waste any of my remaining time with them.”
💯% 👍
There was no actual violence, however delicious it might have for Buckley to punch out the commie Vidal. He did in fact threaten to do so, but unfortunately that’s as far as it went.
“And let’s not forget all the vile things the left said about George W Bush and Ronald Reagan when they were president.”
They were right about George. Hes a POS globalist.
People need to be taught to keep a civil tongue in their head.
The media needs to start treating Nazi as another N word, verboten.
She should have immediately knocked out the teeth of the lying nasty bitch who said it.
