Deranged MSNBC leftist (and noted hater of Israel) Mehdi Hasan used his obscure MSNBC show on Sunday to make the outrageous claim that the United States is a country guilty of many war crimes and ranted about how we haven’t prosecuted enough war criminals.
Hasan used his bizarre weekly segment where he rants like a lunatic for 60 seconds to defend Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s vile tweet, and trashed the United States military by accusing them of committing war crimes during many of the wars throughout our nation’s history.
Later in the unhinged rant, Hasan complained that there haven’t been enough war criminals prosecuted:
In my view we don't prosecute enough war criminals in this country, and some of those who have been prosecuted were just pardoned by the last President and are walking free.
It's disgusting that a cable news host on an American cable news network would be allowed to say something so anti-American as making the accusation that our brave military men and women are guilty of war crimes:
Take the Korean War, does the No Gun Ri massacre in 1950, in which U.S. Forces were accused of deliberately firing on and killing hundreds of refugees including kids not count as a war crime? How about the bombing of civilians in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, what about Iraq? Was Abu Ghraib not a war crime? Didn’t we all see with our own eyes the images of those tortured Iraqi prisoners?
Hasan said our treatment of terrorists in the Abu Ghraib detention centers was considered a war crime. Maybe he should talk about the treatment of our soldiers who were captured by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Let's talk about how American prisoners of war were treated in Hanoi during the Vietnam war.
These comments from Mehdi Hasan should prove once and for all that he loathes America. He's not alone on MSNBC. Another host, Ayman Mohyeldin in 2015 slimed American Sniper Chris Kyle as a "racist" who went on "killing sprees."

MSNBC's The Mehdi Hasan Show
06/13/2021
8:29PMWelcome back. It's time now for what I'm calling the 60-second rant. Start the clock. Republicans and some Democrats lined up to slam Ilhan Omar this week because they said she equated the US and Israel with the Taliban and Hamas. She didn’t. She pointed out that the international criminal court is right to investigate potential war crimes by all of those parties. And look, Americans get very upset when our nation is accused of war crimes, but I'm sorry to break this to you, our nation has done some pretty awful things abroad, and we have to be able to talk about them. Take the Korean War, does the No Gun Ri massacre in 1950, in which U.S. Forces were accused of deliberately firing on and killing hundreds of refugees including kids not count as a war crime? How about the bombing of civilians in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, what about Iraq? Was Abu Ghraib not a war crime? Didn’t we all see with our own eyes the images of those tortured Iraqi prisoners? In my view we don't prosecute enough war criminals in this country, and some of those who have been prosecuted were just pardoned by the last President and are walking free. Look, this isn't about saying the United States is as bad as the Taliban. Of course it isn't. It's about saying war crimes should be condemned and prosecuted regardless of who commits them. I mean it's bad enough that we have conservatives today who don’t want the crimes committed against Black and Native Americans taught in our schools, but to have liberals say that our crimes abroad should also be censored and those who raise them like Omar are apologists for terrorist groups? That is outrageous and that is unforgivable.
