ATLANTA — CNN confirmed Wednesday that one of its black camera operators was taunted this week by two Republican National Convention attendees, who were removed by security officials.
Atlanta-based CNN said the employee was inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Tuesday night covering the convention when the two attendees began throwing nuts and saying, “This is how we feed animals.”
The cable news network said multiple witnesses saw the exchange, and RNC security and police immediately stepped in.
In a statement, convention spokesman Kyle Downey said the two conventioneers “exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”
CNN said it “worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”
The conventioneers and CNN camera operator were not identified.
You can tell CNN is going down the tube. When they have to make a story out of a flying peanut. The liberal Democrats don’t have anything positive to run on so they have to go back to the race card. We can’t afford another 4 years of Obama.
Pot calling the kettle black!!!
Makes me wonder how many of the other teabaggers in the auditorium feel the same way as the 2 that were tossed out!! Teabaggers and rednecks are first cousins.
I think your mom and dad were first cousins. Had to be for you to be such a moron.
There are always some Idiots stirring up hatred. The world does not need this kind of stuff.
