During an interview with Piers Morgan, Mehdi Hasan asked the host if he would request that his friend Donald Trump stop quoting Adolf Hitler.
Donald Trump has been ramping up his attacks on immigrants and some of the language he has used is reminiscent of the language used by Hitler.
Piers Morgan has long been supportive of Donald Trump and has been more than willing to push his agenda. Hasan was quick to call him out both for the relationship with the former President and his promotion of Trump's hate. The conversation went like this:
"MORGAN: Come on.
HASAN: As a journalist, should I not point out?
MORGAN: You shouldn’t compare him to Hitler, because he’s not Hitler.
HASAN: Okay, so what should I do? So I’m a journalist, Donald Trump says immigrants are poisoning our blood, I go look in history, who’s the only person who said that? Hitler. Should I not tell my viewers on Piers Morgan Uncensored? Should I go [silent], can’t tell them that. So what should I say?
Morgan: You can say he shouldn’t use language like that. You can’t say he’s the new Hitler.
HASAN: I haven’t called him the new Hitler. I’ve never called him the new Hitler."
