MSNBC host defends Rep. Omar's US-Hamas tweet: 'Our nation has done some pretty awful things abroad'
Fox News
MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan dedicated a self-described rant on Sunday to defending Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after she received backlash for grouping U.S. and Israeli "war crimes" with aggressions by terror groups like Hamas and the Taliban.
After both Republicans and Democrats condemned Omar's message, with a group of House Democrats calling it "offensive and misguided," she issued a clarification insisting she was "in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems." Hasan jumped to Omar's side to defend her controversial tweet. He launched into a "60-second rant" applauding her message and sounded off on U.S. "war crimes."More Related News
