Parkland high school student Kyle Kashuv says his interview with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin was cancelled because he retweeted an article in which Fox Sports’s Clay Travis called Baldwin a “fake news hypocrite.”
My friend just got a call from @CNN. They're canceling my interview because I quote RTed a Tweet where @ClayTravis called @BrookeBCNN a "fake news hypocrite" (and was quoted in the title).
But don't worry, CNN really wants to have the other side on, as long as they're complicit https://t.co/t95zexPiF8

The tweet he says was the offending tweet is below, which links to an article from The Daily Wire.
Can't wait to be on Brooke's show tomorrow! https://t.co/LY9L2tuS96

The Daily Wire item includes a tweet from Travis calling Baldwin a “fake news hypocrite” for inviting for an interview porn creator Alana Evans, who claims Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels invited her to an awkward sexual encounter. Travis was famously banned from Baldwin’s CNN show after he said “boobs” on live TV last September.
Hey @BrookeBCNN I hope the porn star you had on today discussing explicit sex acts didn’t trigger you and mention the word boobs. You fake news hypocrite. #boobs pic.twitter.com/IIqXyw4tRz

Kashuv, a student during a shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida where 17 people were killed last month, is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. He met with President Trump at the White House earlier this month and has publicly backed a bill from Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, called the “Stop School Violence Act.”
In response to Kashuv’s tweet about his interview cancellation, Travis doubled down on calling out Baldwin and CNN for their apparent double standard on “B-double-O-B-S.”
So @CNN and @BrookeBCNN now aren’t just banning me from their airwaves they are now banning people who retweet me calling out their hypocrisy. Amazing. https://t.co/DnBGKpR6yb
