Reza Aslan ‘very disappointed’ when he gets wind he’s CUT from CNN after vulgar anti-Trump rant

Reza Aslan has become a believer in consequences.

The now former CNN personality was cut by the cable news giant about a week after he went on a vulgar tweet rant against President Donald Trump that included calling him a “piece of s**t.”

Aslan subsequently apologized and claimed it was unlike him to use such language. A claim that was proven completely false when many more vile tweets were uncovered.

“CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series ‘Believer with Reza Aslan,’” CNN said in a statement, according to Variety. “We wish Reza and his production team all the best. “

Azlan said he was “disappointed” with the network’s decision.

“Obviously I am very disappointed in this decision. ‘Believer’ means a great deal to me and to the countless viewers it’s reached. Its message of religious tolerance and exploration is extremely important right now. I am deeply grateful to CNN for giving me the opportunity to launch the show and to amplify my voice on their network. I am especially grateful to the legion of people within the Turner organization who worked so hard to make the show a hit series,” the former host said in a statement, according to Variety. “However, in these politically charged times, the tenor of our nation’s discourse has become complicated, and I recognize that CNN needs to protect its brand as an unbiased news outlet. Similarly, I need to honor my voice. I am not a journalist. I am a social commentator and scholar. And so I agree with CNN that it is best that we part ways. I look forward to partnering with another platform in the future to continue to spread my message. I wish CNN all the best.”

The decision comes weeks after the network fired comedian Kathy Griffin following her mock beheading of the president.
