Not only does Zakaria endorse a presentation of President Trump’s murder, but so does his employer, Time Warner – parent company to CNN – who sponsor the play, as well as the New York Times, who have issued a statement of support in the midst of a major backlash.
“We have sponsored Shakespeare in the Park for 20 years,” said the Times. “As an institution that believes in free speech for the arts as well as the media, we support the right of the Public Theater to stage the production as they chose.”
This is only the latest incident in a string of disasters at the fake news outlet plagued by TDS, as CNN has been forced to fire ISIS-style beheader, Kathy Griffin, and their resident cannibal, Reza Aslan, in recent weeks.
Griffin was cut loose from her gig hosting CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve special alongside Anderson Cooper after appearing in a photo shoot in which she holds President Trump’s gory head after presumably liberating it from his body.
Aslan lost his job as host of Believer after calling Trump a “piece of sh*t” and an “embarrassment to humankind,” shortly after jihadists sharing Aslan’s Islamic faith massacred innocent victims in London – by stabbing them to death.
When Aslan attempted to backpedal his original statement, explaining, “that’s not like me,” a 2012 tweet from Aslan surfaced in which he called for the rape of a male congressman.
Aslan was terminated shortly after.
Delta and Bank of America have withdrawn their financial support of The Public Theater, the organization hosting the play, and American Express has also distanced themselves from the production.
