Watch MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan make an utter fool of himself with Shadi Hamid. Hasan says not all Trump supporters are fascists (which you know he doesn’t believe) and then goes on to mention Georgia’s voting laws — which, in his eyes, deny black people the right to vote. As Twitchy has been reporting, early voting in Georgia by all races has been off the charts, with 1 million having voted already for the Nov. 9 election.
There is so little to say here other than that Hasan is an election denier; he refuses to even entertain the idea of Donald Trump winning a fair and square election in 2024. And this was posted to Hasan’s own account, so you know he thinks he won this debate.
.@mehdirhasan: “Do you believe the 2024 election will be a free and fair election if Black people are denied the right to vote?”
@shadihamid: "Black people are denied the right to vote? That’s the first I’ve heard…”Mehdi: "Sorry, what?"

It’s really telling that Mehdi thought he won this exchange. Especially in that he thought he justified his claim that Black people were being denied the right to vote by pointing to Georgia, where there is record turnout. https://t.co/fNsmwUikrC

Mehdi admits he wouldn’t accept the results of a 2024 election where DJT won and justifies it by pointing to ridiculous voter suppression conspiracies. How exactly is he better than someone who refuses to accept 2020 results by pointing to ridiculous voter fraud conspiracies?

Or 2000 results because of hanging chads and/or Bush v Gore, or 2004 results because of Diebold voting machines, or 2018 Georgia gubernatorial results because of voter suppression…

Run that clip of Democrats denying the 2016 election results for 10 minutes straight.
Record turnout at the 2018 midterms, record turnout at the 2020 election, Georgia early turnout at record levels in 2022 so far. Can someone explain to me why record turnouts = voter suppression?

They can’t and won’t. It’s the cause du jour

You really think you won this exchange? lol

Mehdi, how the hell do you think this makes you look good? Black people have not been disenfranchised! You mentioned Georgia; how would you explain the state’s record-smashing early voting turnout?
— Shippo (@entoliberal) October 26, 2022
Hahaahhaahahahaah!!!! “Have you been to Georgia recently?” Georgia is experiencing RECORD voting numbers. You absolute clown.

A national journalist saying with a straight fact that elections are only legitimate if his chosen political party wins. If the other party wins the election, according to him, the election is illegitimate and was stolen.
This betrayal by the media is a real threat to democracy.

Hasan is a journalist so he doesn’t “have” a party … he just knows that one of the two parties wants to destroy democracy and replace it with fascism, and he doesn’t like that.
And we’re still going on about the “Muslim ban” in 2022?
