Biden dropped out on Sunday at 2 pm eastern. You made this thread at Monday at 6 pm eastern. It has been barely 1 day since Biden has dropped out. On Saturday, Hasan did mostly non-political stuff. On Sunday Hasan mostly news coverage of Biden dropping out and all the fall out surrounding.

Hasan talked about Kamala’s bad policies on Israel-Palestine today at the timestamp that I linked. He reads the newly released article by Jeremy Scahill (formerly of the intercept, now dropsite news) about the history of Kamala’s bad policies on Palestine. Hasan says during the segment that for Kamala to beat Trump, she would have to demonstrate a change in policy towards Israel and Palestine. He also says that the Kamala needs to demonstrate a change of policy of on the US-Mexico border because she is known to have a right wing border policy. You will remember the famous “do not come” moment. Then he says that he does not believe that Kamala will significantly change the US track record toward Israel policy. Then he starts to read an article from Politico that says Kamala is expected to meet with Netanyahu on Wednesday this week and the article says that Kamala is going to put more pressure on Israel to accept a ceasefire deal. Hasan then says that if Kamala fakes caring about Palestinians she would still only be slightly better than Biden. Hasan is making a criticism of Kamala, indicating that he knows that she does not actually care about Palestinians. Then Hasan says that many Democrats are refusing to attend Netanyahu’s speech at congress and he says that every Democrat should refuse to attend because it is ridiculous that Netanyahu is allowed to speak at congress. Hasan says that if the Democrats use police to remove protestors from outside the event, it would be perceived worse than the time that trump cleared BLM protests. He reads the whole dropsite news article after that. I’m not typing it all out, watch the video or read the article yourself. The segment ends at 5h35m.

To be clear, he’s doing news commentary on Kamala’s chances to win because people want to know that. When any other news reporter analyzes the possibility of outcomes, you don’t assume that it’s what they want to happen. Hasan doesn’t support Kamala. Some old lore is that he had a huge rivalry with khive in 2020, the last political election. The retweet is a joke. Hasan is making fun of Kamala fans using the “context of what came before” and “what can be unburdened by what has been”. The joke is making fun of Kamala. Hasan also pretty commonly wears MAGA stuff and even like old Reagan merch as a joke. It doesn’t mean that he supports Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump.

Hasan’s position on this so far seems to me that he is hoping that Kamala will have a change in policy towards Israel from what Biden has been doing. He wants to see if Kamala has a change of policy after the Netanyahu meeting on Wednesday. You can say that this is naive, but he is desperately wishing that the US has a change of foreign policy towards Israel. That does not mean that he supports Kamala. The only reason that he has not talked about this sooner is that it has barely been 24 hours since Biden has dropped out. The squirrel on twitter made the call out tweet that you posted only like 3 hours after Biden had dropped out. Hasan was covering other news at the time.

Hasan has been doing news coverage in support of Palestine for many years. I think even before he started twitch streaming, he was doing news coverage in support of Palestine for TYT. He’s been doing coverage in support of Palestine on Twitch since he started streaming on twitch. Hasan did coverage of Palestine during Trump’s presidency and did analysis of the impact that Trump’s presidency had on the Israel-Palestine conflict, such as the Abraham Accords, Trump declaring that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and Trump cutting off aid money to UNRWA. Many people on hexbear even didn’t pay attention to Palestine during this period because I often see people asking what Trump’s policies on Israel are. After October 7, Hasan lost like 1/3 of his audience for doing news coverage against Israel in support of Palestine. He has organized fundraisers for Palestinian aid in the past year which raised more than 1 million dollars, at least twice, I can’t remember if there was a third fundraiser.
