If Trump wins, 'you can blame yourself' — Mehdi warns Kamala Harris

“Madam Vice President… if the country wakes up to another nightmare Trump presidency, don’t you or the Democrats dare blame ‘the Muslims’ for that; no, you can blame yourself.”

As Kamala Harris falls behind in the polls, Mehdi calls out the Democratic vice president for her failure to win over Arab American and Muslim voters and to distinguish herself from Biden on Gaza and conditions for aid to Israel.

In this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Mehdi warns Harris that she might lose Michigan, and the election if she doesn’t “use the power” to “stop a genocide.”

Why is Gaza only a Muslim issue? If you ask me, it’s a humanity issue.

[somebodysomewhere]

"tho the bar is so low" this is so true. Sadly.

[MebbWrbb]

I'm atheist. Don't blame me either. Supporting genocide of any kind isn't ok. My 1st year voting uncommitted. Blame yourself Harris.

[Nishful]

Thanks Mehdi for finally calling out the Dems to take responsibility for their campaign and actually listen to voters instead of treating us with disdain and scapegoating us when they are giving us no positive reason to vote for them.

[Jay_No]

'Still got time to stop this genocide.' Just let those words sink in. If you have the power to do something and you refuse to use that power you are aiding and abetting; you are facilitating, a genocide. It is not just a morally reprehensible position to take it is breaking international law. Utterly shameful.

Thank you Medhi. My husband and I have been talking about this for a couple of weeks now. I am an African-American women, and is disgusted on her refusal to support the Palestinian community. Now we have to worry about the Lebanese community. Have Mercy!

[cynjhern]

I’m Mexican-American & I cannot bring myself to for Kamala. Sorry, but you don’t have to be Muslim or Arabic to care about Gaza. That’s the deal breaker for me.

[brahmaistrash.indiaisatoil]

I am Muslim and definitely not voting for Harris. We are all over the 50 states, not just Michigan

[Hummingbird]

Finally Mehdi. You are making her accountable and not blaming minorities or Jill Stein voters who can’t stand the brutality in Gaza. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[HamzaPKR]

Never seen a politician actively try to lose an election.

[aesp]

The line that ended my support for Kamala is when she was asked what she would have done differently to Biden, and she said "nothing comes to mind". Honestly an appalling answer.

[dragonfighter]

I’m sorry Mehdi. As a Muslim and as an American. I will most likely vote Green Party. I will not have my hands bloodied by voting for any party who participated in the genocide. Trump or Harris

[CynicalMisanthrope-bp]

As a white man, don't blame me either. I voted for Jill Stein by mail because I could not, in good conscience, vote for a person who is complicit in the evil going on over there. How about everybody just blames Trump voters if Trump wins, ya know, like a sane person?

[ronhamelin]

You are truly the best journalist, ever. period.

[emiebex]

Hard Hitting Truths & a wake up call Kamala Harris needs to listen to.

[gretchenturner]

100% Spot on. I don't have a degree in political science or geo politics, nor a degree in higher mathematics or statistics. Despite that, I know that the US is not "safer" because of the sham that is Israel "defending itself." We will not be better off over the next 4 years just because it's Harris not listening to our voices and not Trump.
I know that it she has essentially had 3 up at bats in term of opportunities with Muslims, Islamic, and Arab communities and those of us who stand with them here, in Gaza, and now Lebanon, and she's struck out.
The question is, can she reverse the damage? Or is it game over.

[spkrause]

Every time I hear Harris utter that Israel has "the right to defend itself, " the more I lose faith in her.

[Idarece]

we are not voting for either, unless they declare i policy change on gaza. speaking for my family and extended family of nearly 30 individuals

[VetMichael]

Thank you, Mehdi! Speak truth and keep making the world better. As a White Dude (tm) for Kamala, I whole-heartedly agree with you. I was a Professor of Middle East History and lived in Egypt for a while. I identify so much with the Palestinian people and feel sick at the US's unconditional support of Israel.

[abelilunga]

How can I not like this truthful journalist? Very straight 😊
