At CNN, Islamic Supremacists Can Brand Republicans Nazis — But Don’t Dare Joke About Their Beepers.

At CNN, Islamic Supremacists Can Brand Republicans Nazis — But Don’t Dare Joke About Their Beepers.

CNN welcomed Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan to a panel so he could brand thousands of former President Donald J. Trump’s supporters Nazis on Monday. However, when another panelist joked that he hoped the Qatar-funded commentator’s beeper wouldn’t go off, he was ejected from the studio.

Debating Trump’s massive rally in Madison Square Garden, New York City, on NewsNight with Abby Phillip, the Al Jazeera stooge began sneering, “If you don’t want to be called Nazis, stop doing…” before being cut off by Ryan James Girdusky, who noted: “You’re called an anti-Semite more than anyone at this table.”

Hasan had, of course, been ousted from his MSNBC gig last year for amplifying anti-Israel content in the aftermath of the murderous Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7, 2023, which left over 1,200 men, women, and children dead, including 44 Americans.

But at Abby Phillip’s table, it was Hasan who was the victim: “Yeah, by you,” he answered Girdusky, putting on his best sainted martyr expression and sighing, “I’m a supporter of the Palestinians, so I’m used to it.”

“Well, I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” Girdusky joked, referring to a targeted attack on Islamist militants in Lebanon that saw their pagers blown up remotely, almost certainly by Israel.

“Did you just say I should die?” Hasan shot back, sensing his moment. “Did you just say I should be killed, live on CNN!?”

Obviously, this is not what Girdusky said, but this didn’t stop Phillip and her panel from dogpiling him. After a commercial break, he was gone, banished from the studio. CNN later issued an apology, saying there is “zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air” and that Girdusky would never return to the network.

DOUBLE STANDARDS.

Bad news, then, for Mehdi Hasan. The British-born journalist, who cheerfully takes money from Qatar’s autocrats despite despising Britain’s constitutional monarchy, has quite the catalog of bigoted views to his name. Infamously, he was railing against “the kuffar, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and stubborn to the teachings of Islam” while giving a sermon in 2009.

His persona in these candid camera moments stands quite apart from his public image as a dyed-in-the-wool left-liberal. Non-Muslims, he tells his audience, are “cattle” who “live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire.”

One of the desires he takes issue with is homosexuality, listing homosexuals alongside pedophiles and “dog lovers” in a long list of pejoratives. Not exactly in line with CNN’s supposed values—and yet, because he tows the party line on Trump turning America into a “fascist dystopia,” all is forgiven.

As Girdusky himself put it, “You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi and have taken money from Qatar-funded media. Apparently you can’t go on CNN if you make a joke. I’m glad America gets to see what CNN stands for.”
