"The Hill has fired me. There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech — particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel."
Briahna Joy Gray wrote on X Thursday, “It finally happened. The Hill has fired me. There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech — particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel.” She also posted a copy of her termination letter.
Gray, the former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during the 2020 election, also claimed her termination was “clearly part of a coordinated effort.”
The outlet confirmed to the New York Post that she was no longer employed at The Hill.
On Tuesday, Gray interviewed Yarden Gonen, the sister of Romi Gonen, who Palestinian terrorists kidnapped on Oct. 7. Romi Gonen, 23, called her mother on Oct. 7 while she was in a car attempting to flee the Nova Music Festival and was attacked by Palestinian terrorists. Her best friend Gaya Halifa, 24, was killed in front of her.
Hostages who were previously released said that on Oct. 7 they saw terrorists dragging Romi by her hair with a wounded arm and get knocked unconscious after one of the terrorists hit her with his weapon.
When Yarden told Gray that she believed former hostages who said Hamas terrorists sexually abused them and hoped Gray "specifically, would believe women when they say that they got hurt," Gray reacted silently to the remark and quickly ended the interview.
Gray was slammed by viewers across social media after the interview.
After the termination, Hen Mazzig, the founder of the Tel Aviv Institute, posted a 2017 tweet of Gray's that said, "Free speech does exist here. But it doesn't mean freedom from social consequences of your actions."
Mazzig wrote in the post, "Perfectly stated, couldn’t agree more."
