CNN’s April Ryan breaks her silence on N.J. reporter forcefully removed from her event. “I didn’t order anyone to do anything.”

April Ryan’s bodyguard assaulted a local reporter at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, New Jersey on August 3, 2019. The local reporter Charlie Kratovil was filming her speech when April Ryan paused and sent her bodyguard over to “deal” with him. 

Here’s what she had to say after the fact:

This was dishonest journalism. What were the terms and conditions of the interview? Why weren’t CNN’s conflicts of interest in relation to April Ryan disclosed? Where was Charlie Kratovil, the journalist who was violently thrown out of the hotel lobby?

April Ryan sacked her body guard and thinks journalists should correct their stories. No apology. @Charlie4Change says that a lot of what Ryan said on CNN “doesn’t ring true. https://t.co/4hKYgOhMHa @nj1015

But April there’s video… The video below clearly shows that April Ryan literally gave the okay for the bodyguard to steal the guy’s camera which led to the confrontation and assault. She’s as guilty as any mob boss who orders a hit on a rival.

Easily could have stopped the bodyguard. @AprilDRyan started the process in motion. That’s called liability. The fact that @brianstelter is doing his human shield routine is on brand with his zero integrity.

That people lend them credence is pathetic.

Painting herself the victim here is not working for me. Probably won’t work for the courts either.

I didn’t know Ryan was such a good bus driver. She ran over her “then contracted” bodyguard in reverse at about 80 MPH!! Maybe he has another side to the story after he washes off the tire marks. Hmmmm?

April knew exactly what that bodyguard was doing. Now she is throwing him under the bus. She needs to be charged with this crime also.
