Mehdi Hasan vs 20 far-right conservatives [View all]

This is a debate between Mehdi Hasan and 20 hard-corre MAGAs - it is fascinating to see just how far right (and a couple self proclaimed Nazi supporters) these people are. I found this channel a few weeks ago and really liked the style they use in these debate round tables. It is fairly long, but just scanning thru will give u the gist of it. The guy at 22:20 is a true ‘piece of work’.
