“I debated Mehdi Hasan and got fired for it” is going to turn into a viable grift for several of these fascist douchebags. This is why you don’t platform fascists.

One of the top donors on that fundraiser is named Elijah Schaffer. That’s the same name as the right-wing pundit who was inside Pelosi’s office on J6 and who got fired from BlazeTV for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman he worked with. Might just be a coincidence, but 🤔🤔🤔

Hasan says he was tricked and didn’t know he was going to be debating actual fascists, but he’s still promoting the hell out of the video and acting like he claimed victory over a bunch of irl Pepe the frog memes.

I put most of the blame for this on Jubilee btw, but I’m still pretty annoyed to see Mehdi Hasan using this to pump up his subscriber numbers and talking about how he picked apart these clowns.

He officially surpassed his $15k goal. And is well on his way to $16k. Something tells me it’s going to go way beyond that.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social SHOULD expose ppl like this. exposing them is a million times better than leaving them in the dark to fester. that’s why we’re where we are NOW bc ‘taking the high road’ ended up with us in the damn gutter. no. expose them!! 👏👏👏👏

Have we not already seen thousands of these kinds of people in the last 10 years? Jubilee didn't shine a light on the existence of fascists because we already knew about them, but they DID increase their exposure to other fascists who are happy to fund extremism
