Here is racist POS Republican & fake ‘man of the people’ John Kennedy saying today in Michigan that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed goes to sleep in a ‘Bin Laden jersey’. The racism & incitement is off the charts. Mike Rogers just chuckles. Michigan deserves better than a rebranded KKK.

"My right, my wife's right, my kids' right to move around freely on the roads of Judea & Samaria is more important than the right of movement of Arabs. Sorry Muhammad, but this is the reality." A top Israeli minister just openly admitting to apartheid:

Oh my, DeSantis did it again tonight: the rant, followed by the forced smile, followed by the grimace. Hilarious. He is beyond saving.

"'It's fair to have a debate,' you wrote, 'about the best direction of the party, but that debate should be conducted on honest terms.' I read that and I think: You're not being honest here, Matthew. Comparing El-Sayed to Cooper and Peltola is not just disingenuous; it's apples and oranges." Latest clip/exchange from my interview with Matthew Yglesias on whether centrists like him and Neera Tanden are trying to apply unfair metrics/expectations/comparisons to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, whose race is sui generis. Clip below. Watch the full interview:

Me: "Even if it was unpopular, are you saying the Democratic Party should not speak out against the president sending migrants who have committed no crimes to be tortured in a foreign gulag?" Matthew Yglesias: "Yeah." Me: "Just stay silent?" Yglesias: "I think that sometimes, if you want to help people... you gotta win first." Me: "They might be dead in three years time, by the time you win." Despite all the arguments on this hellsite over the exact number of his Piker tweets, this was the part of my interview with Matthew Yglesias that really stood out to me. I was actually stunned by this response. Shouldn't politics also stand for something more than triangulation, polling and 4-D chess strategizing? Full interview:

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?" Matthew Yglesias: "Probably more than I intended to." Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat." Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair." Me: "Why?" Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me." From my new Zeteo interview with the top centrist pundit - on the left, Michigan, Gaza, immigration, polls, electability, and more:

Trump adviser Steve Cortes: "Mehdi, to throw around the term 'fascist' is incredibly irresponsible of you... I think it's totally inappropriate."

Rep. Nancy Mace: "This narrative that there is a genocide in Gaza, there's not." Me: "Let me educate you... the vast majority of human rights groups, including Israeli human rights groups, say it's a genocide; the vast majority of genocide scholars, including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, say it's a genocide; all of the UN investigators that have looked into this, including the Independent Commission of Inquiry, say it's a genocide; the former deputy head of Mossad says it's a genocide; the former prime minister of Israel says it's a war of extermination. The evidence is overwhelming."

Me: "Do you regret [hosting Benjamin Netanyahu at CAP]?" Neera Tanden: "I wish we did not host him, a hundred percent." Mehdi: "When did you realize that you shouldn't have hosted him?" Neera: "I mean, he's been basically acting as a kind of war criminal, so yes, I absolutely regret hosting him."

The IDF came into my replies to try & boost their fake report accusing Palestinian journalists they murdered of being Hamas. But when Piers Morgan invited them to debate the so-called evidence with me, they didn't show up so... he empty-chaired them. And then I debunked their 'study'. Full show, including my debate with two Israeli propagandists:
