Prem Thakker is a 'reporter' for Zeteo News. This is a media site belonging to Mehdi Hasan, yes, the CNN Beeper Guy who we often mock here at Twitchy. Prem was doing Mehdi's bidding today and chased John Fetterman down screeching about Iran Naval ships. Fetterman had the perfect response.
Senator John Fetterman’s response to @prem_thakker when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters:

Ha! Mehdi is surely grieving the loss of his hero. Bless his heart. Fetterman had to enjoy getting that dig in.
Fetterman is an American treasure

This man is welcomed in the Democratic Party but Rashida Tlaib gets censured. https://t.co/6HISRxgnXL

Well, Rashida Tlaib is a bigot who hates America and unfortunately the Democrat Party is all too accepting of her nonsense.
It could be worse, @JohnFetterman could have chased after me with a gun. https://t.co/wkvZHI93DM pic.twitter.com/Ohd7yXSH6h

Of course, Mehdi had to come back with an old story about Fetterman. There is probably room for a 'beeper' joke here, but Ryan Girdusky deserves all the praise for the time he made Mehdi lose his tiny little mind.

Mehdi aren't you supposed to be in Theran voting for a new supreme leader? https://t.co/SmXAug3jrt
Maybe he learned his lesson and sent a proxy vote. It's not wise for people to meet together in Iran right now. Heh!

Can we just bring Fetterman into the GOP? This is incredibly based https://t.co/iP4bTNxoae

Fetterman seems like a wicked man https://t.co/hDX4Dr9DyB

Oh, Zaid is mad, too. This shows that Fetterman is really getting under the Anti-Semites skin.
All he does is catch touchdowns https://t.co/FlGF6GU4y9

I can’t believe they posted this clip of their reporter getting completely owned.

Fetterman rocks. https://t.co/1qwJS7vETz
Clearly, they don't see how bad this makes them look. Heh.

They’re posting Fetterman bangers https://t.co/Xvk7hUxtwA

Fetterman's social media team should be so grateful.
Imagine posting this thinking it’s anything other than a nuke on your pro-terror outlet https://t.co/LsvphE0tBO

Bravo @SenFettermanPA.

As usual, your IDGAF attitude puts other Democrats to shame. https://t.co/LfzeKRcIUD
He's a breath of fresh air!
Fetterman using the exact same Islamophobic, bigoted line about Khamenei’s death on Mehdi Hassan as Nancy Mace used on Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. https://t.co/ecPhBB7p3w
