‘Fascism With a Capital F!’ Mehdi Hasan Complains Trump Nazi Stuff Gets Ignored While People Watch Biden Stumble Vids

Ex-MSNBC-host-turned-media mogul Mehdi Hasan lamented the lack of attention to former President Donald Trump’s “fascism with a capital F” as compared to social media clips of President Joe Biden “stumbling.”

Hasan was a guest on this week’s edition of Mediaite’s new Press Club podcast, hosted by Aidan McLaughlin. Among the topics in their extensive interview was what Hasan envisions if Trump wins:

AIDAN MCLAUGHLIN: What do you think a second Trump term would look like?

MEHDI HASAN: It’s a great question. It’s the most important question in our journalistic industry, in our media industry, and people like my friend Jonathan Swan and others have done great reporting in laying out what’s going to come. But not enough people have read it. Not enough people are aware of it.

People are busy watching TikToks of Joe Biden stumbling, and they don’t realize what’s coming down the track, which is fascism with a capital F. This is a president who’s talked about wanting to be a dictator, who’s talked about terminating the Constitution, who’s quoting Adolf Hitler in terms of “poisoning the blood” and “fighting vermin within.” This is a president who the Heritage Foundation, the conservative pro-Trump foundation, has put out a report laying out in detail what they plan to do in terms of going after independent media, going after opposition forces.

We have a former president and possible next president who says, Aidan, he’s going to go after NBC and MSNBC and accusing them of treason. Calls the media the enemy of the people. His guy, Kash Patel, says we’re going after the media criminally and civilly. We have Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller making fascistic threats. Miller bragging that on day one they’re going to build detention camps and start rounding up undocumented immigrants from across America, going door to door.

It is a dystopian scene that awaits us, and what depresses me is our media is obsessed with trivial stories rather than the main story. The story. Donald Trump just said over the weekend he’s going to pardon the January 6th insurrectionists on his first day in office. That should be the biggest story in America right now.
