“He’s paid by a group of bad people.”
“Who?”
“A group of bad people.”
“Which one?”
“The bad one.”
“Which bad one?”
“Can I ask a question?”
“Not until you answer.”
“Do you know which one?”
“No, but you said you know.”
“I don’t ask questions. I just give answers.”
“Then answer the question.”
“No.”
I love how they have so much energy for a student holding protests on a campus but zero energy for literal neo-nazi rallies in Ohio. Funny how that works.
I watched this. Unbelievable. He just spewed out lies. There was pushback, but it was just weird. These guys are so weird. And Jennings is the most unlikable human ever. Next to Stephen Miller, crypt keeper.
Nassau county has no "intelligence division." It's police department has an investigation's unit but Nassau County is on Long Island, nowhere near Columbia University, and its police would not have access to "intelligence" on Khalil.
They really don't have anything if they get away with a lot protesters born in the states are in trouble anyone speaks out against this cult is trouble free speech isn't dying it's being lynched in broad fucking daylight
Long Island has long been full of clowns in politics. Blakeman reminds me of selective terrorist-supporting, former Congressman from Long Island Peter King in his baseless defamation of “brown” people in particular. But at least King could try to hide behind “classified briefings on the Hill”.
Well...checking out his wiki page, he's a member of a synagogue, so he will not say the second one.
I had to go read up on the guy...he has connections to Reagan, Bush, and his ex is married to Paul McCartney
This reeks of someone wanting to please Dear Leader. This man is a green card holder (permanent resident). They are allowed to protest. They cannot revoke his status without due process. I assume he has representation? @aclu.org @nilc.org
They pulled him into custody without a warrant even???
The media has an obligation to question everyone of these obviously lying politicians. Unless they can give provable facts, the hosts need to be calling them out as liars on live TV.
Nor is Columbia University even in Nassau County. It's part of Long Island and nowhere near Columbia University. The police there would have no more information on Khalil than you or I do.
On the same show when talking abt the guy Scott Jennings sounded like he was describing Trump. When conservatives talk abt Trump & Musk they sound like they're describing waste, fraud & abuse. Have they been radicalized? Hypnotized? @msnbc.com Trump is radicalizing ppl. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
“As the highest elected Jewish Republican in America and a dedicated Zionist, I can state with 100% accuracy that Elon Musk’s gesture was NOT a Nazi salute. Shame on all those who denigrated this patriot who has been a reliable friend of the Jewish people.”
Apparently one of those generic terrorist organizations, straight out of central casting. No reason to look any more closely here or ask any further questions.
He should lose his job.....tell you what every yahoo politicain or person holding public office who says " I have Evidence " should have the FBI pay then visit....lol....then put him in front of a judge for lying .
why do some people honestly expect that other people will believe LITERALLY ANYTHING that they say just by virtue of their having said it?
This is like being lied to by a 4 year old. A normal stupid one, not one of those weirdly adult 4 year olds who silently judge you for drinking a second beer.
If he is lying, then shouldn't he be arrested for inciting violence or discrimination with false information... 18 U.S. Code § 249; 18 U.S. Code § 1038...⁉️🤔
Sad state of affairs that a "news" organization asking a guest to back up a claim with evidence is remotely noteworthy when that should be the default.
The brilliant folks of Nassau County are the ones who snagged a seat in the House for the likely only public figure in recent times with an even larger degree of deception than Trump (a high bar, I know): George Santos.
As a Suffolk County native it is with a mix of great shame and pride that I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or if this is actually what he's referring to.
According to @newsday.bsky.social , "Nassau County Police Dept. has an intelligence unit comprising 70 sworn and covilian staff who collect and share data and sensitive information with local and federal law enforcement agencies."
The righteous indignation this guy exhibits when people don't tolerate him making things up to support his position is very annoying. It's clear he's just pulling that allegation out of his arse. As usual, claims of people getting paid to protest is backed up by absolutely nothing.
Nassau County does have small intelligence units (it's one of the most $$$$ police departments in the country) but I sort of feel like he means the groups like Canary Mission and Betar that he has a lot of connections to here
According to @newsday.bsky.social , "Nassau County Police Dept. has an intelligence unit comprising 70 sworn and covilian staff who collect and share data and sensitive information with local and federal law enforcement agencies."
NCPD said, "Our intelligence *believes* Mahmoud Khalil *and many other protesters* are paid by organizationsthat spew antisemitic and anti-American hate." Notably nothing about terrorist organizations.
corporate media is there to propagandize to the American people.
this is just an accident. if it happens too many more times, she will be replaced. she knows his answer is a signal about her role.
"Sir, anti-American terrorists are paying this man to protest"
"Say no more, literally, don't tell me another word, I don't want to know anything more than that for my appearance on national television to talk about this, so don't tell me who pays him, I will fire you if you tell me who pays him"
My face would’ve went scarlet and I would’ve froze like fucking Mitch McConnell that time he sharted accidentally on live TV telling outrageous lies like that then getting called out. Wow. Whose his intelligence team BTW 🐧🐧🐧
Why not submit all this evidence to a judge and obtain a warrant before acting on this evidence that he claims to exist? If they had evidence, they would’ve used it.
When in doubt deploy the righteous indignation. That’s all they ever have. “Oh, you want me to support my claim!? What kind of fucking monster are you, why are you OK with all of this bad stuff I’m claiming is happening without evidence?!“
Ooooo! Me! Me! I think he’s paid by a terrorist group but I can’t produce any factual evidence to back my claims but you should just take my word on this!
If you’re gonna cast doubt on someone, please make sure you have the evidence to back your claims.
The Nassau County Intelligence Division is one of those neighborhood, family-owned espionage organizations whose existence is constantly threatened by soulless big box intelligence services like the CIA
This seems like something you could sue over. People coming on national TV and claiming you're being paid by a terrorist group- i.e. committing a crime.
Bruce Blakeman wants to create a controversial private militia in Nassau county NY. If that isn't a red-flag, I don't know what is. Why is he being taken seriously?
It was even worse than that. It was not "no, you can't see it for national security reasons", it was "I don't know, I didn't ask. Just went with what they told me without questioning and parroted it anywhere that would allow me to"
If they have evidence (they don’t) then why don’t they charge him (they can’t cause Mahmoud has not committed any crime) and produce an indictment, they won’t though because indefinitely detaining him and dissapearing him to Louisiana is much easier. Fuck this Nazi
Are you ok with with nazi’s marching in our streets because they are. Are you ok with white nationalists marching in our streets? Because they are! Either the fist amendment applies to everyone or it applies to no one!
According to @newsday.bsky.social , "Nassau County Police Dept. has an intelligence unit comprising 70 sworn and covilian staff who collect and share data and sensitive information with local and federal law enforcement agencies."
Blakeman couldn't get elected Dog Catcher until Trump and his fountain of disinformation poisoned the population. He's playing the same game- Nassau County Intelligence Division? There isn't one..
Didn't take long to pull out the "antisemitism" trope. You are either for israel doing whatever it wants whenever it wants, or you are an antisemite....

At least you could give it some respect by agreeing with me.🤦♀️
What evidence?
Well, I didn't think you'd ask me, so....
“Who?”
“A group of bad people.”
“Which one?”
“The bad one.”
“Which bad one?”
“Can I ask a question?”
“Not until you answer.”
“Do you know which one?”
“No, but you said you know.”
“I don’t ask questions. I just give answers.”
“Then answer the question.”
“No.”
This man is lying out his ass.
I had to go read up on the guy...he has connections to Reagan, Bush, and his ex is married to Paul McCartney
They pulled him into custody without a warrant even???
Nassau County does, obviously, have a police department with an investigations division. Not sure what access to 007 information it would have.
WTH?? 🤦🏻♀️
He used to be a commissioner for the Port Authority of NY&NJ, and that always sets of my “where is the corruption” alarm bells.
“As the highest elected Jewish Republican in America and a dedicated Zionist, I can state with 100% accuracy that Elon Musk’s gesture was NOT a Nazi salute. Shame on all those who denigrated this patriot who has been a reliable friend of the Jewish people.”
this needs to be added to the NEW constitution.
Huntington Beach of the East.
This is like being lied to by a 4 year old. A normal stupid one, not one of those weirdly adult 4 year olds who silently judge you for drinking a second beer.
But yeah, they're just making this shit up.
Stop inviting bad actors in good faith.
Liars lie to the suprise of none.
AND THE DREAMCAST 2
This is smoke and mirrors to deflect from their unlawful actions
this is just an accident. if it happens too many more times, she will be replaced. she knows his answer is a signal about her role.
"Say no more, literally, don't tell me another word, I don't want to know anything more than that for my appearance on national television to talk about this, so don't tell me who pays him, I will fire you if you tell me who pays him"
Questions like, "Who?"
If you’re gonna cast doubt on someone, please make sure you have the evidence to back your claims.

"Ok, let's see it"
"Can't, national security reasons, spies at Columbia U might be exposed, I am a very serious person"

Blakeman even had the audacity then to call Musk a “patriot” in the same breath. Musk, a patriot of what?
First what? First flight to Gitmo.
