'More American than you': Mehdi Hasan reacts to MAGA's 'deport' calls after 'No Kings' speech goes viral

As Mehdi Hasan's speech at a 'No Kings' rally went viral after he targeted President Donald Trump for marrying immigrants, MAGA called for the deportation of the immigrant journalist. "I'm more American than you so cry more," Mehdi Hasan reacted to Gunther Eagleman's post. "Mehdi Hasan, a foreigner in America, is at our nation's Capitol today proving Charlie right. Foreigners like Hasan pose a direct danger to American society. Deport Mehdi Hasan," Gunther Eagleman posted.

"We have to be real about it. Islam has no place in America. Neither does Mehdi Hasan," commentator Eric Daughterty posted.


Mehdi Hasan began his speech saying: "My name is Mehdi Hasan. I am a journalist. I am an immigrant, and I am a Muslim. I am everything Donald Trump loves."



Hasan, who moved to the US from the United Kingdom, said he attended the rally because he loves the country. "We immigrants love this country often more than the people born here because we chose to move here." "Immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do," he said.

“Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant, the grandson of an immigrant, and married to an immigrant,” Hasan said. “In fact, two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs even Americans are not willing to do.”

Hasan, the founder of the digital media company Zeteo and an immigrant to the United States from England, was referring to First Lady Melania Trump, who is a Slovenian immigrant, and Ivana Trump, Trump’s Czech first wife. The joke came during a portion of Hasan’s 10-minute speech where he took issue with how Republicans have described the No Kings protest as a “Hate America” rally.

The organizers of the No Kings protest said around seven million protesters joined the demonstrations, about two million more than in June.
