MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan argued on-air that Republicans are “pro-neo-Nazi” and criticized Elon Musk for being “not-so-bright” by purchasing Twitter to allow for free speech.
“We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment,” Hasan said. “The pro-QAnon, pro-neo-Nazi faction of the Republican party is poised to expand dramatically come the midterms.
“We’re just two years away from Donald Trump very possible reseizing executive power. If that happens, we may look back on this .. as a pivotal moment, when a petulant & not-so-bright billionaire casually bought one of the most influential messaging machines & just handed it to the far-right,” Hasan said.
Musk didn’t let this one slip by without responding. He fired back, “NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis.”
“Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people,” Musk added. Take a look:
