Ryan Christopher Lizza[1] (born July 12, 1974) is an American journalist. His 2017 interview with White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci allegedly resulted in Scaramucci's dismissal.[2]
Later that year, Lizza was accused of sexual misconduct in the context of the Me Too movement.[3] After a decade-long run as The New Yorker's Washington correspondent,[4] the magazine's internal review of the allegation against Lizza led to his dismissal.[5]
Several other media organizations declined to terminate or bar Lizza from employment in light of their own investigations.[6][7] He was a senior political analyst for CNN[8] and is currently the chief Washington correspondent for Politico.
Ryan Lizza is one of 262 celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and others who have been accused of sexual misconduct since April 2017(tying Lizza to the Me Too movement).
Lizza has denied the allegation and investigations into Lizza's conduct by CNN, Politico and other media companies determined there was no reason to keep Lizza off the air or bar him from employment.
Last month, Penske called a meeting with Rolling Stone's female editorial staff .... Concerns were raised about how it would be perceived if Lizza were to work at Rolling Stone, and whether Lizza was ultimately a good fit.... But after Lizza was cleared by CNN, and Rolling Stone had conducted its own due diligence, the editors moved forward with freelance assignments, as originally planned.
