[RandySF]

He.spends entire shows trashing Democrats.

1. He's a anti-choice bigot.

He's also traded in the Biden is "manifest incoherent" which must be a sign of mental lapses crap.

[SharonClark]

12. Apparently he's no longer anti-choice...

In a 2020 series of tweets, Hasan expressed regrets for "having expressed offensive & illiberal views in the past on everything from homosexuality to abortion" and stated that they were views he no longer holds.

17. I haven't seen those Tweets and that's a wiki interpretation of them.

Also, has he regretted suggesting Biden has dementia, or some form of cognitive decline?

[Mosby]

2. He's a social conservative, though he claims otherwise

He interviews a lot of DSA types.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. He is to be ignored

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. I don't always agree with him, and he is hard to take in more than small doses, but...

He is a pit bull of an interviewer, asking provocative, questions that challenge the conventional wisdom and status quo. No soft balls from him. If you think of all the reasons why Chuck Todd is awful- poor questions, no follow up, no fact checking or confronting of distortions or lies, both siderism, Hasan is the opposite of that.

I haven’t heard him spout off anything anti-choice, but I have seen him go after the Democratic Party establishment a number of times.

6. "I have seen him go after the Democratic Party establishment"

And that's why he's reviled and bashed around here.

If he went after "The Squad", he'd be the hero.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Who exactly is this "Democratic Party establishment" of which you speak?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. I am not impressed with this person or his interviewing skills

It is all about his personal position

[JohnSJ]

5. Yup

[LetMyPeopleVote]

7. I do not watch this person

I wonder why he is on MSNBC also.

[DFW]

9. Never even heard of him.

Maybe I need to watch more TV next time I’m in the States.

Or maybe not.

15. He used to work on Channel 4 in the UK, and then wrote for the New Statesman

After that he went to Huffington Post and Al Jazeera, and in that last couple of years has worked for NBC.

I think most of DU doesn't like criticism of Democrats appearing on MSNBC.

[DFW]

16. We don't get British TV here either.

So I have no way of knowing what this guy is about one way or the other. Obviously, we don't get MSNBC here.

10. When he thinks through what he's saying he's good.

When he's doing his monday morning hot take's he's terrible. If i turn on his show I will usually either watch the whole thing or I 'll change the channel until his show is over!

[Yoyoyo77]

11. I think he's an most likely an independent progressive.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. He's from the Turner/Sarandon wing of the party. Can't stand the sight or sound of him. nt
