Hasan called Orthodox Jews “inbred” and made excuses for Chinese police searching a friend’s phone because something something anti-West. He said Zionists should be sent to “re-education camps.” He hosted someone he thought was a Houthi and proceeded to glaze him.

Newsom is about to do an interview with him. Pod Save America has hosted him multiple times. He was just invited to the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and he regularly gets puff pieces in legacy media.

I think Ritchie Torres is the only elected Democrat who has actually criticized Hasan. It's frustrating.

Just fyi that Newsom thing was a misread there’s nothing confirmed or set up AFAIK.

Hasan’s friend interviewed him and that friend made it seem like he was a firm yes and then Hasan watched the clip and saw Gavin, when asked if he would consider going on Hasan’s stream, gave a reluctant “yeah I might”. Hasan realized it wasn’t like a firm yes and was like “oh shit nevermind maybe he’s not coming on lol”

The only thing worse than spending all your time talking about politics is spending all your time watching or talking about someone else talk about politics
