As our own Just Mindy reported on Friday, Wajahat Ali, a regular guest on Mehdi Hasan and Joy Reid's MSNBC shows, nodded along as his podcast guest, Rula Jebreal, a Palestinian journalist and currently a visiting professor at the University of Miami, called House Minority Leader Extreme Hakeem Jeffries a "monkey" and an "errand boy." As Mindy followed up on Saturday, Ali and Jebreal rushed to Joy Reid's podcast for rehabilitation. As one person posted, the "find a black person OK with the racism" tour has begun.
Ali also posted to X, suggesting people pick on Laura Loomer and John Fetterman, as he's just "a small-time podcast host who drives a minivan."
Many of the folks who have smoke for me today, a small time podcast host who drives a minivan, somehow barely muster a few or zero words of condemnation against Laura Loomer, Randy Fine, Bill Maher, Fetterman and other racists and apologists for Israel's genocide.

"Oh well. Enjoy Labor Day weekend, everyone," he concluded.
Aw, poor widdle Islamo-Commie.

Gold star to Waj for running my patented Get Out of Racist Jail Free playbook to perfection in response to Calling Hakeem Jeffries a Monkeygate.

As a reminder, here’s a summary of the steps, but you can DM me for my free $40 e-book for more info:
1. Defense: Point out that… https://t.co/qcC6iLluIi
The post continues:
… you said “Not to be racist but” before you said it. If you say not to be racist you are, by definition, not being racist.
2. Offense: Accuse critics of being the Real Racists.
3. Misdirection: Just start talking about Israel. Everyone will get mad and forget about the thing you said.
4. Sympathy: You’re just a poor baby podcaster. Why do people even CARE what you said. You drive a MINIVAN for Christ’s sake. A MINIVAN.

“I’m just a little itty bitty podcast host, why are you being so mean to me!” So disingenuous.

Damn, dude. You're racist af AND you drive a mini van. That's rough.

You know who had strong words of condemnation for Laura Loomer? pic.twitter.com/aedK8BCt8r

Oh, poor you. Such a victim in all this.

Boo. Hoo.
I drive a Subaru and I was appalled by your lack of condemnation on that podcast.

Jesus, take the L and let it go. I can't stand this whining.

i was going to say that it was bad that you let your co-host say a racial slur about a black person with no reaction on your part, but then i found out you drive a minivan, so it's all good.

Are we supposed to feel bad for you? Cry baby ass bitch. Maybe next time don’t bring people on your podcast who call black leaders monkeys and then try to defend her the entire day. Fucking loser. And btw, fuck your minivan.
— Julius Hernandez (@juliush34) September 5, 2026
You’re never accountable for your own actions. You sat there in silence, Wajahat. Israel didn’t make you do that. Grow up.
— Kristin Reid (@KristinMReid11) September 5, 2026
So it’s okay that you’re a racist because you aren’t successful at podcasting? Interesting.
— percy (@SpursVA82) September 5, 2026
There's no genocide. Oh, and please mention AIPAC next time you tweet. You fucked up for not immediately calling out someone who called a Black man a m**key. Own you and your interviewee's racism. Amazing how the far left immediately goes to whataboutism when they fuck up.
— Phil Robert Ellis (@philrobertellis) September 5, 2026
So now you’re going to play the victim, an insignificant nobody as you try and use classic whataboutism to somehow justify calling a black man, from the party you support, a monkey because he isn’t saying and doing what you want. Piss off
— Mekius Kaximus (@asherrin9) September 5, 2026
You’re too dim to understand the simple fact that there wasn’t a genocide and that might explain why you don’t drive a better car or have a bigger audience.

"I'm just a small-time podcaster who drives a minivan. You should be going after Bill Maher for being a genocide apologist!"
