F*ck Mehdi Hasan

Apologies to his minons here but he is a dishonest assh*le who attacks democrats.



I see a lot of the KHive/Harris deadenders have emerged today on social media, after Gaza protesters disrupted a Kamala Harris book event, to say in unison a pair of dumb and dishonest things.

He expressed his problems with gays, atheists, and non-Muslims comparing them to "cattle".
and while he issued a public apology for his past remarks, I suspect if the opportunity presented itself in the "right environment", he would resort back to his previous bigoted views.

I'm not convinced that those people who showed up at both her events and Obama's (recently) aren't being paid by groups like The Heritage Foundation.

Their gear is brand spanking new. And let's not forget the casting calls for Krasnov rallies.

Nah - it stinks to high heaven and Hassan is falling for it. In general - It's my impression that he despises the Democratic Party. Reminds me of Cenk Uyger. I'm also against platforming people that are too wet to step on, and too low to kick.

We've had the feelings of the magapub voter's shoved down our throats for 10 years now. We ALL already know what they think and why.

He'd do better to go to diners in NJ, NY, MA, CT, IL, CA . . . and ask Democratic Voters what they think, why they voted for Harris. Another idea - those elections where we've outperformed our wildest dreams in 2025 since Krasnov took office?

Go there. Find out what THOSE people who voted for the Democratic Party think.

Regardless, I'm a Black Woman and we are standing ten toes down on business when it comes to protecting VP Harris.

And you know what? That's AOK.

Know why?

White Male Blue Collar Voters will do anything and everything to protect pedos and croos int he magapub party. I see their identity politics and raise it by a trillion dollars.

WAS Astroturfing.... by Putin and Iran. Some people didn't catch on to that.... but it's pretty obvious now. I guess they got their money's worth, so expect that to only get worse

1. As VP, she didn't set the foreign policy agenda. All she could do was express her POV to POTUS. She has said in her book that she wanted Biden to express more sympathy as to the plight of the Palestinians, but Biden is/was a Zionist and he found it difficult to do so authentically. And she was also one of the first high-ranking official to call for an immediate ceasefire.

2. Oh wow, one protest at a restaurant under Twitler. Why didn't they protest Bibi when he was here recently? Additionally, the same protestors were also the same ones who were "uncommitted" and called her a "genocider", and likely didn't vote for her. So now they have Twitler who wants to build a resort in Gaza.

Adding his full tweet here for reference:

The protest at the restaurant wasn't specifically about Gaza either. Hasan is the one being dishonest here.

It’s one of many reasons why we’re in the place we are today. And don’t come at me with the “multi task” pablum. These nutballs aren’t multitasking. They’re obsessed and totally delulu.

It's all about the popular cause of the day so they can pretend to be morally superior to everyone else and feed their egos.

. . . in the South Sudan makes them complicit in that genocide. Especially since the U.S. is giving funds to the Sudanese government to take immigrants we deported from the country.

Point two, it took them over six months into Felon34's term to protest him. Felon34 has said and surrounded himself with people who believe Palestine is made up and that the people are all terrorists. For Years, he made it clear he was fine with ethnic cleansing. A while ago, a plan was circulating on how the US would assist in forcibly removing the Palestinians from their land.

So, it totally makes sense to protest Harris now.

Also, Hasan purposely omits the group that protested Felon34 in the restaurant was Code Pink. They advocate for Palestine, but they also advocate for peace around the world.
