CNN viewers are demanding the network drop Scott Jennings after he likened a hijab to The Handmaid's Tale during a conversation about Minnesota's Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan.
The controversial remark was made after Ms. Flanagan wore a hijab while visiting the Karmel Somali Market in Minneapolis on Friday, an act widely interpreted as a public rebuke of Donald Trump. During CNN's Newsnight, Jennings quipped, "They got the Lieutenant Governor up there dressed like the handmaid's tale."
Co-host Abby Phillip swiftly countered, asserting that such a comparison was inappropriate when referring to religious attire, regardless of the faith involved. She challenged him, asking, "Why on Earth is it acceptable to make a statement like that-You're describing the type of dress as the handmaid's tale, and you're doing that to denigrate the religion."

• CNN issues devastating Donald Trump news alert in humiliating blow
The two clashed on air, sparking immediate online backlash from viewers, many of whom called for the network to suspend or remove Jennings from its programming, reports the Irish Star.
One viewer expressed, "I'm sorry. This is too much. He should be suspended. Abby is right. If someone denigrated Orthodox Jews (or any other group that may be wearing religious garb), there would be a five-alarm fire. This is some sick s---!".
The debate came after Ms. Flanagan's trip to the Minneapolis market, where she donned a hijab to show solidarity with the Somali community. The Catholic politician began her remarks with the greeting "Salam alaikum" before voicing her support for local residents.
"I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota," Ms Flanagan declared while standing beside Somali community leaders. She emphasized her deep-rooted connections to the community, stating, "Growing up here, the Somali community has always been a part of my Minnesota."
