Mr Hassan, why do you even bother going on that asshat’s show? Surely you have better things to do with your limited time. Representative Crenshaw is also a colossal waste of your time, the disappointing thing about him is that he knows better but chooses his job over country.

Totally disagree. The only way to be heard, is if you can debate them in their own media space. And as usual, it never ends well for MAGA, especially when you have an incredible intellect like Mehdi, doing the debating…:)

That was so excruciating to sit through… it’s astonishing how disconnected from empirical reality conservative rhetoric has become. Crenshaw either genuinely believes the distortions he pushes or he’s strategically misleading his audience—neither option is reassuring. When confronted with facts, the right-wing response seems to be more about performance than substance. At what point do we stop treating bad-faith arguments as legitimate debate?

You killed it Mehdi: Mic Drop!

Once again, MAGA doesn’t cease to amaze! However, as the adage goes; you just can’t debate STUPID!

It’s sad to see Crenshaw have to twist himself into knots, trying to defend in indefensible: Trump.

That said, Crenshaw should definitely serve as a warning to the MAGA CULT; because we all know how well it ended for the Manson Family, and Jonestown! Just saying!….:)

Has anyone investigated how many of these so-called "anti-Semitic" incidents on campuses and elsewhere were instigated by pro-Zionist provocateurs -- as their own sites have been advocating? I'm betting it's most.

Thanks, Mehdi, Keep it up. They cut you many times, so you have missed some important points, Republican's main reason to aids did not go through to Ukraine, in Biden's term. Also, first and second agreements broke by Americans and Russians to ground up for 2014 Crimea invasion. 2022 before the invasion Americans and UK make Zelenski to not accept any deal with Russia and assured to help Ukraine. Trump just put the powder coat in top of it.

About Khalil:

- Speech is constitutionally protected, including the statement that Crenshaw quotes at 45:29 and antisemitic speech. While certain speech may be offensive people have the right to express themselves as American Nazis have under protection of the Free Speech clause, except for direct calls for violence, which the quoted statement at 45:29 is not.

- being anti-Zionism is a right

- being antisemitic is a right as proven by SCOTUS rulings (https://www.annenbergclassroom.org/resource/freedom-of-assembly-national-socialist-party-v-skokie/)

- believing that Israel has committed war crimes by targeting buildings and areas known to have civilians is a right

- anti-America "activity", in this case protesting, is a constitutionally protected right

The Khalil episode simply exposes the hypocrisy of Crenshaw and the GOP in general who do not believe in rights in general but complying with their worldview.

The fussy envious orange child mind cretin does not give a crap not one about peace in Ukraine.

The child is envious so jealous of the black dude that won a Nobel peace prize. If a black guy can win it a white supremacist, not withstanding he’s a childish cretin, must be a shoo in with “peace” in Ukraine!!!!

That’s his motivation guys take my word on it! He does not give a rat’s ass about Ukraine!

Folks, I could not stomach the biased and inaccurate representations promoted by Crenshaw and Morgan. I bailed out at the halfway mark.

Mehdi Hassan, you must be a saint to venture into that lion’s den! A very courageous and disciplined showing on your part; had it been me I would have left the show well before Crenshaw began parroting Trump/Vance talking points that have nothing to do with reality. Bless you, Sir!!

Regarding Crenshaw's claim that "every president does it" and the WH Tesla showroom, they don't. This event was obvious corruption. Whereas other presidents had supported industries, Trump promoted only Tesla at the expense of the other EV makers. This is a gift to an oligarch, Elon, for his support, the definition of unethical.
