The Big Lie, which Mehdi Hasan propagates here, only succeeds by means of constant repetition. For years, Mehdi Hasan has downplayed and denied the threat of Islamic jihad; now he is eagerly pushing the Left’s propaganda about a white supremacist threat. It’s all in service of the larger agenda of stigmatizing and criminalizing political dissent.

“‘White nationalism and white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party: MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan,” by Sarah K. Burris, RawStory, September 19, 2021:Discussing the new GOP conspiracy from “critical race theory” to the “great replacement theory,” Hasan explained it’s just another opportunity for Republicans to promote white supremacy.

“It’s white nationalist propaganda,” he said. “It’s the kind of thing that led to Hispanics being gunned down in El Paso. It led to Jews being massacred in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. It used to be backed by Trump alone. Now it’s Elise Stefanik, who is supposed to be a moderate Republican. In 2016, she didn’t show up to the RNC because she objected to Trump. Now she’s pushing this nonsense. It tells you, sadly white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party. It’s not white nationalist adjacent. It’s part and parcel of the party’s views. Number two, there are no moderate Republicans left. When it came to voting rights, Liz Cheney and [Adam] Kinzinger voted against voting rights. Where are the Republicans where the entire party is heading into the arms of neo-Nazis?”
