CNN host says he’d poison Trump

Host of CNN’s “Part Unknown” Anthony Bourdain chatted with a TMZ paparazzi in Los Angeles last week, and told him he would poison President Donald Trump given the chance.

When asked what he would serve Trump and Kim Jong Un should they have some sort of “peace summit,” Bourdain replies without hesitation saying, “Hemlock.”

Hemlock is a notoriously poisonous plant, famous for being the chosen method of death by Greek philosopher Socrates.

See the video below. Warning: There is some inappropriate language.

Fox News asked Bourdain about his comments, to which he snarkily responded that he meant to say “kale,” a clear avoidance to address the controversy.

And these casual jokes about murdering the President of the United States is nothing new for CNN’s employees.

Kathy Griffin was fired by the network after she infamously posed for a photo holding a bloodied, severed head of Trump.

Social media users have called for Bordain to be fired and boycotted altogether for his comments.

But CNN did not respond to a comment request from Fox News.
