American Urban Radio Networks White House correspondent April Ryan on Friday melted down after former Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR-R) blasted her for calling for the firing his daughter, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Appearing Thursday on CNN’s Outfront, Ryan, who also serves as a political analyst for the network, claimed Sanders had no “credibility left” after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released.
“She outright lied, and the people, the American people, can’t trust her. They can’t trust what’s said from the president’s mouthpiece, spokesperson, from the people’s house,” April said, referencing Sanders’ statements regarding the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
“When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start and start lopping the heads off. It’s ‘Fire Me Thursday’ or ‘Fire Me Good Friday.’ She needs to go,” she added.
Huckabee, tweeting about Ryan suggesting his daughter have her head “lopped off,” asked of the reporter’s remarks, “So liberals—is this okay? Does CNN have the integrity to deal w/ this incitement to murder?”

Ryan replied to being called out by Huckabee, tweeting: “You sir need to sit down. You gave me a veiled threat not long ago. You call yourself a man of God? Boy bye! As your people come for me! My people see you and will do the same for you!”

“By the way you should be celebrating Good Friday or do you even remember Jesus anymore? He would not come down from the cross just to save himself! He decided to die,” April went on.

Huckabee responded to Ryan’s attacks by asking if the White House Correspondents’ Association would revoke Ryan’s credential, tweeting: “Will the @whca revoke April Ryan’s credentials? If not, they are gutless tools.”
