CNN host Rick Sanchez went off yesterday on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show. Sanchez went off on Jon Stewart, calling him a bigot. He also lashed out at “the Jews” who run CNN. It’s a good thing he’s not a conservative.
The Politico reported:
This is going to be a tough day for Rick Sanchez. The CNN host, as Mediaite notes, is the frequent butt of Daily Show jokes, which may have contributed to his ill-considered comments yesterday on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show.
First, Sanchez called Jon Stewart a “bigot,” though he walked the comments back a bit later.
Dominick: How is he a bigot?
Sanchez: I think he looks at the world through, his mom, who was a school teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that. Great, I’m so happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could ever imagine.
Dominick: What group is he bigoted towards?
Sanchez: Everybody else who’s not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?Then, he suggested that CNN is run by Jews.
I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority? Yeah.
