Idk what is most surprising here:

he hasn't gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it's okay he's still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I'm so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

countdown to parasocial dipshits talking about how Hasan "cOuLDn't hAVe KnOWn" that the mass murderer who went back to Iraq (?) multiple times, at least once as a literal mercenary, was secretly a racist war criminal

At least they don't claim to be anything other than "progressive liberals" or whatever

Still thought they wouldn't be able brush off the Blackwater stuff the way they did.

look it's a sign of how badly the military trains people for once they get out. That was the only place he could go to get work....

🤮

And yes people are already defending Hasan. Come on, people. A member of the democratic party who again was a literal, unrepentant mercenary, is in fact not going to be a secret anti imperialist antifa super soldier just because he said he wants medicare for all.

He'll just do the same thing he always does (like when he platformed zionist Matt Duss) when he gets critiqued from his left: infantilize his critics and disregard their input as "unserious" or "para-social".

Yeah, I have zero respect for Hasan. I mostly just find it frustrating how eager people are to let him off the hook because he's dumb and pretty.
