Briahna Joy Gray fired from The Hill days after rolling her eyes at sister of Oct. 7 hostage

A political commentator was sacked from The Hill — days after rolling her eyes while interviewing the sister of an Israeli abducted on Oct. 7 victim.

“It finally happened. The Hill has fired me,” Briahna Joy Gray wrote on X Thursday. “There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech — particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel.”

An outlet spokesperson also confirmed to The Post she was no longer employed at The Hill.

In a follow-up tweet, Gray said her firing was “clearly part of a coordinated effort.”

Gray said she had no additional comment when reached by The Post Thursday evening.

Gray, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ former press secretary during the 2020 election, was slammed for her treatment of Yarden Gonen, the sister of Romi Gonen, who was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7, during an interview on Tuesday.

Believe all women...unless there's a chance it could debunk your delusions of what Hamas is.

[psychedsage]

How could a WOMAN roll her eyes to a Woman hostage victim who has been through unthinkable situation in captivity?

[lastriotgrrl]

She was fired for being rude and unprofessional.

[maritascoonbee]

And yet now she plays the victim card now - actions have consequences.

[hello]

She needed to be fired. She can go cry on the View now

[abhid.]

I thought as a "woke" person, she'd be sensitive to another's suffering.

[kittylemew]

Ummm... to see who was suppressing speech, she should look in the mirror.

[juliestannard]

Regardless of your political persuasion when you roll your eyes at the sister of a hostage of rapists and murders you’re in the wrong job. Get a job as a night filler in a supermarket where you don’t have to deal with human beings; especially those that are suffering the worst pain conceivable- the unknown fait of a loved one.

"suppressing speech"
Said the person who interrupted th family member of a victim and prematurely ended the interview with callous disdain.

[Store-iguy]

I stopped watching the hill because I couldn't stand her.

[matcha]

What a horrible lady glad she got fired

[edr]

She is Harvard graduate, so what are you expecting ?

[dormouse]

She should have been fired a long time ago. She’s a crazy activist

[Samblack-nj]

The smugness and total disrespect for a guest on the show who's currently going through such a personal trauma is shameful, to say the least. such lack of empathy can only be attributed to a deep ideological indoctrination like you'd find in a cult. honestly, It's wrong to gloat when someone loses his livelihood but firing her was long overdue.

[cdavidlake]

Bri's been stewing in a toxic mix of anger and contempt for quite some time. This was hardly surprising.

[michaelweiss]

The lack of sensitivity towards victims of trauma is apalling regardless of your stance on the war in Gaza, regardless of whether the victim is Israeli or Palestinian.

[Hstergo]

Watch her now play the race card and make it out that she is the victim and NOT the people who were kidnapped and their families

[jdfreeman]

I'm glad, I couldn't watch the hill because of her.

Briahna Joy Gray has defended Hamas multiple times claiming their terrorist violence is an "act of resistance."

[Isaac-Playlists]

Gray says that The Hill suppresses speech while she was doing exactly this to the victim of the 7 October massacre.
