As Twitchy told you yesterday, Retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, a Fox News analyst, took a disgusting swipe at Sen. John McCain and his time as a POW in Vietnam. Fox Business host Charles Payne apologized for not calling McInerney out.

Well, it looks like McInerney will have to find another outlet on which to vomit up baseless smears:

Fox News bans retired general after McCain torture comments https://t.co/ZDpOPb13fX pic.twitter.com/z6L2isqkT0 — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) May 11, 2018

More from the Washington Examiner:

Fox News has banned a retired general from appearing on the network following his controversial comments about Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. A spokesperson told the WashingtonExaminer that retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney is no longer welcome on Fox News and Fox Business Network after he said torture worked on McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Wow.
