C-SPAN host John McArdle cut off a caller after she lashed out at Black people for “practically running this country.”
During Tuesday’s Washington Journal program, a Florida Democratic caller named Benny took issue with President Donald Trump’s deportations.
“And you’ve had incidents happen in this country from people that call themselves white nationalists,” Benny said. “It’s just another name for Ku Klux Klan.”
“And I’m just wondering, when they get done sending all of the criminals out of here for killing people here in America, what are they going to do with the white nationals that are responsible for killings in the schools?” he asked. “You’ve got your children going to school. They’re afraid, and they’re being killed in the school.”
“But you have people in this country that have so much hatred in their heart that they don’t want to allow Black people in this country to be able to live a comfortable life, even though they have put work into this country, their sweat, their blood, they have died.”
Immediately following that call, a Republican woman named Gina called from Mississippi.

“I am very upset by the last caller!” Gina exclaimed. “He sounds like a very nice old man. But what I want to know is, why do you let these people call in and talk about all this racist BS?”
“Well, we know damn good and well that the Blacks are practically running the country now,” she added.
McArdle reacted by quickly disconnecting the call.
“All right, that’s Gina in Mississippi, last caller in open forum,” he said.
