CNN’s Pro-Trumper Paris Dennard Reportedly Fired From University For ‘Masturbatory Gestures’

One of President Donald Trump‘s staunchest on-air defenders was fired from his Arizona State University job for sexually harassing women, according to a new Washington Post report.

Paris Dennard, who frequently appears on CNN defending Trump’s actions, allegedly told a recent college graduate that he wanted to have sex with her while on the job four years ago.

Then, according to a 2014  university report obtained by The Washington Post, he “pretended to unzip his pants in her presence, tried to get her to sit on his lap, and made masturbatory gestures.”

At the time, Dennard was working as the events director for ASU’s McCain Institute for International Leadership.

In an email sent to WaPo, Dennard called the allegations “false” and an attempt to “besmirch my character.”

“I cannot comment on items I have never seen regarding allegations I still believe to be false,” Dennard wrote. “This is sadly another politically motivated attempt to besmirch my character, and shame me into silence for my support of President Trump and the GOP.”

ASU has confirmed that the reported obtained by WaPo is the real deal.

Just this week, the vocal Trump supporter was praised by POTUS who tweeted out,  “Just watched former Intelligence Official Phillip Mudd become totally unglued and weird while debating wonderful @PARISDENNARD over Brennan’s Security Clearance. Dennard destroyed him but Mudd is in no mental condition to have such a Clearance. Should be REVOKED? @seanhannity”

UPDATE 9:46 p.m.: CNN has suspended Paris Dennard, pending an investigation, a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite.

“We are aware of reports of accusations against Paris Dennard,” a spokesperson said. “We are suspending Paris, effective immediately, while ‎we look into the allegations.”
