@mehdirhasan@bluedoggeosh It's sad to see people get brain-broken by I/P. I understand that it hits close to home for Mehdi, but refusing to talk about it?
Those weren't just 'claims'. Hasan cheers on terrorists, but Mehdi will not ask him about it.
It's almost like Mehdi also supports these terrorists.
@InfernoxRatchet@dre4earth@MaxNordau Yeah, but all you hear the Hezbollah apologists scream about is the one girl who was killed (tragic, to be sure).
If you pull off an operation, where you can't tell exactly where the targets are, to achieve 97% hit rate is tremendous.
@Cameron_Scott95@TheOmniLiberal@mehdirhasan He has truly lost the plot. Cozying up with Hasan has a huge price to pay.
Mehdi looks ridiculous, with his non-sequitur screeds, borrowing bogus accusations from another guy who has lost his mind.
He mocked CNN's journalistic standards the other day. Maybe look in the mirror?
@Awk20000 The mask is all the way off with Hasan. He mentioned her name yesterday, and today the slur-filled threats are pouring in. Where do we think these are coming from?
@SocksMoney187@TheOmniLiberal Until El-Sayed stops being a mealy-mouthed pussy and rejects Hasan, Republicans will be playing the insane Hasan clips on repeat to normie Dem voters in MI.
It might even increase the Republican turnout, to hate such a firebrand nutjob as Hasan Piker.
@Awk20000 Big Yikes. He really should just say that he doesn't agree with Hasan's crazy 'I hate america' or 'Houthis are the best' takes.
These clips will be playing on repeat in Michigan until he does.
It's so simple. I don't know why he doesn't do it. Or does he agree with Hasan?
@mehdirhasan@shannonrwatts Destiny has researched I/P for months on end. He's visited the region. He has an incredible amount of knowledge on its history and the conflict. And he has legitimate receipts on Hasan's indefensible behavior. You know this. And it's why you won't engage with him on substance.
@mehdirhasan If anyone is a hypocrite Mehdi, it's you. Substantive accusations, with evidence, were made against you, and you immediately call whoever makes these claims an islamophobe, without any actual answer to the charges.
Who does this remind you of? FAKE NEWS!!! Quiet, Piggy!
@mehdirhasan Why do you overlook all of Hasan's terrorist-supporting rhetoric? He is literally cheering at a video of Houthis attacking a ship.
I'm going to criticize you, and the choices you made, when preparing for your interview with Hasan.
Zero tough questions. Just giggles and smiles.
@keithwayne4@_carlbeijer@IDoDeclare83 His disagreement, that he put aside, to campaign with El-Sayed, is that he's a socialist, and El-Sayed isn't?
You know that is the weakest cop-out answer out there, right?
What substantive policy differences do these two have, that Hasan had to hold his nose about?
@mehdirhasan Your response is a cowardly whataboutism-laden tinfoil-hat-worthy manic screed, hastily written before you immediately run away, hoping the backlash doesn't get worse.
@mehdirhasan No responses to anything Steven asked, just a bunch of unsubstantiated accusations. This is giving Dave Farina energy, Mehdi.
And then running away again. Never to be seen again.
Sit down with Steven. Don't be a coward. Talk about @hasanthehun and his terrorism support, etc.
@a_luffa@_carlbeijer@IDoDeclare83 We're not talking about what policy disagreements I have. We are talking about Hasan. Don't try to pivot.
What disagreements did Hasan put aside, when he campaigned for Francesca Hong? El-Sayed? DariaLiza?
My contention is that he didn't have any disagreements with them.
I've been permanently banned from @Twitch for about 3 years because I said a particular group of militant trans-activists online were "inbred" and that they don't represent the average trans person.
The CEO, @djclancy999, is personal friends with @hasanthehun though, and the two of them are pretty motivated to keep me banned from the site.
The last time I applied for an unban, the Trust and Safety actually granted it and unbanned my account, but Hasan saw I was unbanned, started nervously texting/messaging Clancy, and then Clancy manually rebanned me from the website lol.
Authoritarian types can only exist in echo chambers because they cannot stand to be critically confronted, ever. It's why @hasanthehun avoids any challenging interviews, and why the types like @mehdirhasan will avoid answering actually critical questions from people with the knowledge to question them.
@_carlbeijer@IDoDeclare83 What differences are you talking about?
Drake vs. Kendrick?
Pineapple on Pizza?
DC vs. MCU?
None of the candidates Hasan is campaigning with have any substantial disagreements with him. At least not any that he has outlined.
