Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan deleted what he called a “poorly worded” post on X that sparked outrage on Tuesday after two people died in a plane crash at Georgia’s Covington Airport east of Atlanta.
The left-wing talking head claimed he posted “Make American Planes Crash Again” in an attempt to mock the “Make America Great Again” slogan and to highlight the spate of recent fatal plane crashes under the Trump administration. But Hasan drew swift backlash and quickly deleted the post. “I deleted this sarcastic quote-tweet because MAGA and Islamophobic folks are clipping it out of context and trying to ridiculously suggest I’m inciting violence,” Hasan wrote.
“I was obviously mocking the MAGA slogan ‘Make America… Again’ slogan and highlighting the shocking numberHe continued: “But this tweet was in poor taste, poorly worded, and has allowed people in bad faith to call me a terrorist, with one New York Post reporter cc-ing the FBI. So I deleted it. Meanwhile, the right wants to silence all journalists while crying ‘a show free speech!’” of plane crashes under Trump and the FAA cuts.”

Yeah.
Right.
Vance called Hasan a dummy just the other day. Looks like Hasan is providing more evidence that label is true.
For the record, the 9/11 attacks weren’t “Islamophobic”. They were a phobia on freedom.
What a despicable little shit.
We all know what he would have posted if X.com was around after 9/11.
Who among us hasn't gone there? 😔
But what about the hours and hours of drivel on MSNBC about "saving democracy" and "fighting fascism?"
“…to highlight the spate of recent fatal plane crashes under the Trump administration“
Uh, yeah, right. They are clownish but have no clue. All upside.
What a gutless turkey; hasan doesn’t have the cajones to stand behind his perverted statement.
I wonder if thousands of viewers are repeating to people they
encounter: “I heard the plane crashes are Trump’s fault.”
“Yeah, I seen that on TV. A shame.”
He should blame the backlash on his being a retarded dumbass.
EMT worker: “Well, that way it didn’t hit anything vital.”
“Make American Planes Crash Again”
You’re taking it out of context !!!
Sheesh.
Unprintable.
“Yeah, I seen that on TV. A shame.”
Absolutely, they are.
Poorly worded my posterior, he said exactly what he meant, exactly the way he meant to say it. When he was called on it he ran straight to victimhood.
Why is it every time a leftist gets called on their on their public statements they whine about their account being hacked, they’re misunderstood, racism, xenophobia, etc., etc., etc.
he has shown what’s in his heart, deleting a post likely doesn’t change that.
Any criticism is “Islamophobia”? Grow up, Muslims.
