Please share the tweets where you called out Tim Miller, Piers Morgan, Sam Harris, David Pakman, and/or Chris Kavanaugh & Matthew Browne for having Destiny on as a guest. Otherwise, you’re the hypocrite.
And you cannot be oblivious to the fact that your and Hasan’s tweets about me result in threats as well.
Here comes the totally predictable personal attacks, because @mehdirhasan has been exposed as spineless and incapable of dealing with pushback against his palling around with those who openly support terrorist attacks against anyone in the West.
I actually think it's totally fair to not want to support any candidate who is okay standing beside someone openly cheering on terrorist attacks against civilians.
@TheOmniLiberal Imagine not knowing how a copypasta works. This just makes you look dumb. But, please, continue to yell about peoples' memes that go viral since you don't know how to do them yourself
Hasan has completed fabricated his entire experience with the customs and border patrol. Not a single part of it is likely true.
Big concern that the mainstream press does zero fact checking on any of this whatsoever
Sad!
My latest: Twitch has a politics problem and it's not the one you think... How anti-Semitism has become increasingly normalised by the political streamers promoted by the platform's CEO.

@HardRockBet, it’s deeply concerning to see your advertisements appearing alongside antisemitic content on Twitch. This is harmful and unacceptable for communities already dealing with hate. Please take immediate action: remove your ads and reassess your advertising policies.
People should be aware that Hasan operates in a very specific manner in order to denigrate his political opposition. You can retroactively and prospectively apply this formula, he will always follow it, guaranteed.
1. Never, ever, ever watch a reasonable amount of content from the person criticizing you. This allows Hasan to...
2. Misrepresent the opposing view to a ridiculous extent, e.g. if someone criticizes you for liking pineapple on pizza, responding to the argument as though they said you hate all fruit, "what, am I just not allowed to eat any fruit man lol???" Once you've misrepresented the point of view to its most absurd form, you can...
3. Attack the strawmanned version of the opposition's argument. Lump the strawmanned argument in with other deplorable people, e.g. pretend your opposition is making the same argument against you that a Nazi, conservative, racist, etc...would make. If you still need to convince your audience, make sure that...
4. If you do debate anyone about the position, it is never, ever the original person holding the position, and it is only people who you feel you can out-maneuverer in a conversation, i.e. in Hasan's case, a 16 year old Israeli or a commentary YouTuber about Israel/Palestine (WillyMac). And finally...
5. When the opposition becomes increasingly frustrated with your poor articulation of their argument, plus your takedowns of strawmanned versions of their argument, call them crazy, obsessed, unhinged, racist, etc...and pretend you don't even really care about the topic.
The point of this rhetorical strategy is that it shields Hasan's fanbase from ever seeing the original criticism, and allows him to respond to a strawmanned version of the argument that people believe was actually made. The fans will carry forward both the stupid strawmanned version of the argument and Hasan's response to it.
