5:35Now PlayingDonald Trump's campaign was 'openly fascistic,' says Mehdi Hasan | LBC
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter CNN apologised for a conservative panellist's comment to Mehdi Hasan, the British-American journalist highlights the election's importance in combating racism in the US.
Speaking to Shelagh Fogarty and Jon Sopel on US election night, Mehdi Hasan says: 'We are seeing a mainstream political party running an openly fascistic, racist, sexist, mysognyistic, demogogic campaign.'
'This is ostenibly a Conservative Party that has gone so far-right that they are comfortable coalescing around Donald Trump saying if you elect me I will be a dictator and terminate the consistution... It's astonishing to see him commendating almost half of the vote.'
A verbal altercation that took place during Abby Phillip's CNN show, with British-Muslim commentator Mehdi Hasan was seen to clash head on with American-Catholic commentator Ryan Girdusky on live US television.
The incident came ahead of November's US elections, with the panelists reflecting on Trump's recent New York City event and comments likening it to a Nazi rally.
CNN has now apologised following the incident, after Gidursky was heard to tell Hasan live on air: "I hope your beeper doesn't go off".
