Ex-MSNBC Host Mehdi Hasan Triggered by Joke

A CNN panel was triggered into oblivion after commentator Ryan Girdusky made a joke at the expense of a hack comparing Donald Trump’s supporters to Nazis. 

After Hasan smeared Trump’s supporters, Girdusky replied “You’re called an anti-Semite more than anyone at this table.”

Hasan replied, “yeah, by you,” to which Girdusky pointed out “I never called you an anti-Semite.”

Hasan then said he’s accustomed to being labeled an anti-semite over his “support for the Palestinian people,” to which Girdusky delivered the zinger heard round the world; “Well, I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.”

Hasan, who apparently is suffering from hearing loss, replied Did you just say I should die? Did you just say I should be killed live on CNN?”

No - he did not, but that didn’t stop the panel from exploding, and Girdusky being asked to leave before the next segment. He was also banned from the network.

But if he went too far - Hasan shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near CNN either. 

As The Wrap reported:

In old recordings that resurfaced this week but have percolated for years, Hasan compared non-Muslims and atheists to “cattle” and included “homosexuals” in a long list of behaviors and categories which he said argued were transgressive of Islam.

“All of these ulama unanimously agree that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir — then at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother,” Hasan says in an old recording of what appears to be a sermon on Islamic law.

“In this respect the Koran describes the atheist as cattle. As cattle of those who grow the crops and do not stop and wonder about this world,” he said at another moment.
