Far-left commentator Briahna Joy Gray, a former staffer for socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (VT), was fired by The Hill on Thursday, which comes after she generated significant backlash this week for rolling her eyes at a survivor of Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack.
Gray, now a former co-host of The Hill’s “Rising,” posted a screenshot of the email that she claims she got that informed her she would no longer be employed by the company.
“This is 30 days written notice that your consulting services agreement is being terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3. For Convenience,” the message said. “Thank you for your contributions and we wish the best in your future endeavors.”
“It finally happened. The Hill has fired me. There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech,” she claimed.

The move comes after an interview that Gray had with Yarden Gonen, the sister of Romi Gonen, who was kidnapped by Palestinian Islamic terrorists with Hamas during their brutal October 7 massacre.
Yarden Gonen said at the end of the interview that she hoped Gray would believe Israeli women when they say that they were raped during the October 7 massacre.

Gray then appeared to roll her eyes and expressed annoyance at Yarden Gonen and ended the interview.
Words cannot express my utter contempt for Briahna Joy Gray. The way she rolls her eyes at the suffering of innocent civilians kidnapped and raped by Hamas. A deeply, deeply depraved person with a shrivelled heart.

Last month, at an event titled “Debate: Israel’s War on Hamas is a Just War,” Gray reacted to the harsh reception from the audience over her pro-Hamas arguments by reportedly saying, “It’s disgusting. I hope someone drops a bomb on this entire building.”
During the debate, Gray insisted that the terrorist group Hamas, whose members have stated they intend to kill every Jew on the planet, has no interest in killing all the Jews in Israel, only wishing to establish a state “like what we have here in the United States.”
“When Hamas is talking about eliminating Israel, it’s not talking about killing all the Jews … it’s about eliminating the idea of a Jewish state, ending a Jewish state, ending an ethno-national state, having a state or like what we have in the United States of America,” Gray claimed.
People are treating this as just stupidity, but her body of work suggests something far more sinister.
There’s a reason I have repeatedly said she is the most hateful bigot with a mainstream media platform. Her dishonestly is intentional. https://t.co/enouJpKFq9

Commentator Guy Benson responded, “‘I hope someone drops a bomb on this entire building,’ the Hamas supporter said after getting intellectually crushed and morally outclassed by Zionists. Sounds about right.”
