“Can you imagine if Barack Obama in 2011 had said ‘oh, Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran thinks Mitt Romney is low IQ and I’m totally with him,’” Al Jazeera presented Mehdi Hasan said on CNN.
After President Donald Trump sided with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over his criticisms of former Vice President Joe Biden on Memorial Day weekend, Al Jazeera presenter Mehdi Hasan said on Monday that if former President Barack Obama talked about a foreign dictator in the same way, Republicans would be “demanding execution.”
Following Trump’s positive assessment of North Korea, CNN anchor Erica Hill asked Hasan to comment on the president’s remarks during a panel discussion on Monday’s The Lead. Hasan then asked how Republicans would have responded if Obama had sided with a dictator who was attacking a U.S. presidential candidate. “Can you imagine if Barack Obama in 2011 had said ‘oh, Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran thinks Mitt Romney is low IQ and I’m totally with him,’” he said. “The Republicans wouldn’t just be demanding impeachment, they would be calling him a traitor and demanding execution.
