From Fox News: Former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan reamed out President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland on Saturday for not putting former President Trump on trial before the 2024 presidential election.
In a scathing post on X over the weekend, Hasan said he will never forgive Biden and Garland for allowing Trump’s trial on charges stemming from Jan. 6 to be held after Election Day – while shrugging off concerns of a weaponized justice system.
“No matter who wins or loses on Tuesday, I will never not stop being mad at Joe Biden and Merrick Garland for allowing Trump to face the electorate this week without having seen the inside of a courtroom for his crimes on, and ahead of, January 6th,” he wrote.
“Astonishing incompetence, caution, cowardice, and more from the top of the Democratic Party. They’ll say it was to try and retain faith in an impartial DOJ but, even after giving Trump a pass, the Dems and the Biden DOJ are still accused of carrying out a ‘witchhunt’ against Trump and of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him. So what was gained?” he added.
Hasan, 45, a Muslim, was born in England to Indian Shia Muslim parents. He began his television career in England, and in 2012 started working on Al Jazeera’s English news channel. He moved to Washington, D.C. in 2015 while still working with Al Jazeera.
He got his own show on MSNBC in 2021, but the network cancelled his show in November 2023 amid the Israel-Hamas War. Hasan now works as a columnist at The Guardian.
A staunch Trump critic, Hasan, an immigrant to the US, is now whining that Joe Biden and Merrick Garland haven’t already held a trial and thrown former President Donald Trump in jail over the January 6, 2021 Capitol protest.

Astonishing incompetence,…

Some of Hasan’s liberal social media followers have agreed with him, while others argue that the blame falls on Garland, not Biden.
Meanwhile, conservatives on X are telling him to go pound sand.
You’ve been Mad your entire life. Go see a Shrink.
