Within Minutes of Event CNN Guest Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan Connects Trump to Mosque Shooting in New Zealand

[MRC Newsbusters] Minutes after news broke of a tragic shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand (at what ended up being at least two mosques) during the second hour of CNN Tonight and with almost no information for the shooter or shooters, Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan claimed that "far-right terrorism" was on the rise in the United States and blamed President Trump for attacks both here and abroad.

After listening to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern deliver a press conference on the shooting, Hasan was the first guest host Don Lemon went to and cited his guest’s Muslim beliefs.

"And I think to kind of talk about the story we talked about before in terms of Trump's rhetoric as well. Western government has turned a blind eye to domestic terrorism, to domestic far-right terrorism," Hasan proclaimed.

Without citing his sources, Hasan suggested the "stats" show that "here in the U.S." "far-right terrorism" was responsible for "more attacks, more casualties from domestic terrorist groups -- far-right groups, than there are quote-unquote jihadist or Islamist groups."

According to Hasan, not only was Trump’s rhetoric responsible for attacks in the U.S., he was responsible for attacks in other countries:

I come in peace (cue the adhan)
To recast old Tom
Till he's squeaking, 'Salaammmmm!'
Live from Christ Church, I'm Mehdi Hasan."

#5 If you can track it down (it is being taken down) catch the Chelsea video. Very instructive:

Here is The Chelsea Clinton, daughter of President Bill Clinton and long serving Senator and twice presidential candidate Hillary! Clinton, heiress to The Clinton Foundation, mast head of the leftist movement, and pregnant mother, being scolded by a nobody islamic zealot who goes to the classic line that muslims go to when something bad happens to muslims by a non-muslim - The Joooos! did it!

Because Chelsea did one of her mundane boring tweets about antisemitism.

I do not think I need to explain my opinion of Chelsea, but I honestly felt bad for her. Chelsea had reality take a big shit on her, but the muslimas behaviors were totally out of line.

Like I said, if you can find it, it is instructive.

#6 Besoeker’s Chelsea Clinton link has the video, swksvlFF. Also several relate tweets. As you say, instructive. She may end up pursuing a different political line than either of her parents as the result of living in a very different time, though I think she, like Michelle Obama, is uninterested in becoming an elected politician.
