'What I didn't expect was open racism': Mehdi Hasan's takeaways from debate with the 'far-right' - Velshi - MSNBC [View all]

After his debate with 20 “far-right conservatives” on the YouTube channel Jubilee went viral, Mehdi Hasan joined ‘Velshi’ to discuss the value of debating far-right extremists and what he learned from the experience. “I knew they would be extreme. What I didn't expect was open racism, of the kind we haven't seen for a long time, where people are telling me to my face to get out of the country.” - Aired on 07/27/2025.
