Bodyguard For CNN’s April Ryan Violently Ejects Journalist From Event (VIDEO)

CNN’s April Ryan was recently speaking at an event when one of her bodyguards roughed up a journalist who was there to cover the event.

This is from the same network that regularly claims Trump puts journalists’ lives in danger.

How ironic.

CNN In Hot Water: April Ryan Has Bodyguard Violently Eject Journalist, Steal Camera

It’s been a bad week for CNN. Hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon both embroiled in their own scandals, one even caught on camera. Now CNN political analyst April Ryan is in hot water after a local journalist claims he was assaulted by Ryan’s bodyguard while covering an event she was speaking at, earlier this month.

Charlie Kratovil, a local New Jersey journalist and editor of New Brunswick Today, told his story on Twitter of covering the 4th annual New Jersey Parent Summit, where Ryan was speaking on August 3.

You can see the thread below. He explained that he went through all the proper channels, documenting his story with evidence, along the way. According to Fox News, they also saw the emails showing “Kratovil had previously RSVP’d to the event and received confirmation.”

Here’s a video:

THREAD: It’s been 36 hours since @AprilDRyan’s security guard assaulted me in a hotel lobby after stealing our camera.

Because there has been some misinformation going around, I want to lay out exactly what happened before, during, & after this video.

I’m the editor of @NB_Today & our team was explicitly invited to attend & cover the event by @juanmelli (Mercury Public Affairs) on 7/25 & again on 8/1.

We also published a very fair preview article that highlighted Ms. Ryan’s scheduled keynote speech: https://t.co/3SadzDIzNh

The author of that article was unable to attend the event due to a prior obligation, but I said I would go in the hopes of capturing a high-quality video of Ms. Ryan’s keynote speech using our Sony NX30. I intended to post the video to our YouTube channel without any editing.

I had no intention to write any articles, or to ask Ms. Ryan any questions. Unlike many stories I do, I wasn’t digging deep or trying to put anyone on the spot. Just thought it was cool that a well-known journo was speaking in my city & something our audience might appreciate.

On Friday 8/2, I RSVP’ed to Mr. Melli and specifically stated that I wanted to attend “Saturday’s keynote speech.” There was a full day of other stuff scheduled that day, the second day of the 3-day “summit” sponsored by a bunch of NJ groups that push for more charter schools. pic.twitter.com/CVcs0src2t
