David Harsanyi writes MSNBC hired a former Al Jazeera, anti-Semite journalist Mehdi Hasan to host a show.
“A guy who regularly peddles anti-Semitic tropes for Qatar, once said gay men are no better than pedophiles, and calls non-Muslims “cattle,” gets a show. But if you don’t believe there are 90 genders, you get your book banned.”
MSNBC is giving journalist Mehdi Hasan his own prime-time television show starting this Sunday, the Los Angeles Times reports. Hasan’s first guest will be another anti-Semite Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Hasan is a former journalist for Al Jazeera, where he hosted the show “UpFront.” He has also been a senior columnist for The Intercept and the host of that outlet’s podcast “Deconstructed.”

And the number 1 reason why Al Qaeda was not as much a danger as these #MAGAterrorists are is because… Al Qaeda wasn’t white. We take the threat from brown men with big beards much more seriously than the threat from white guys. Hence the Capitol attack.pic.twitter.com/wwL185HVuM
