Another far-left media figure is given a plum position in higher education. Shocker.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Hamas Saxa: Georgetown Taps Hamas Apologist Mehdi Hasan as Visiting FellowGeorgetown University has enlisted Hamas apologist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan as a visiting fellow to lead a discussion series that “will explore the role of debate, media, and persuasion in our deeply polarized society.”As a Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service Spring 2026 Fellow, Hasan’s discussion group will center on the topic “Who’s Afraid of a Tough Question? Debate, Division, and Democracy in a Polarized Age.” The four-week series will “challenge” students with questions like “Are calls for ‘unity’ and ‘civility’ sincere – or politically convenient?”Hasan posted to X on Wednesday, “I’m looking forward to doing this and debating and discussing with the students. Thanks @georgetown and @GUPolitics.”Georgetown’s decision to bring on Hasan follows years of the journalist making polarizing and inaccurate remarks. MSNBC canceled his show in November 2023 after he spent weeks disparaging Israel following Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack. After leaving the network, Hasan tweeted and then deleted a post arguing that the “Gaza genocide” was “worse than a lot of previous genocides – Rwanda, even the Holocaust.” As a media figure in the United Kingdom, Hasan referred to non-Muslims as “animals.”Hasan came under fire last fall after bursting into laughter at a “joke” about Rep. Brian Mast’s missing legs, which the Florida Republican lost after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in September 2010 during Operation Enduring Freedom.After leaving MSNBC, Hasan founded Zeteo, a far-left media platform that charges $12 a month to “support Mehdi’s brand of accountability journalism.” The online publication has featured figures like Hasan Piker, the far-left streamer who once said “America deserved 9/11” and used a Zeteo appearance to lament the United States’ triumph over the USSR.
