"Hasan made the comment while sharing a clip posted by Axios's Marc Caputo. Caputo was reporting on a wild claim made by Gaetz, he noted, Congressional members & candidates wore name badges with QR codes @AIPAC donors would scan to contribute if they liked the pol, per former Rep. Gaetz. AIPAC denounced Gaetz's claim as a lie and added, Barcodes are on name badges for security reasons, not fundraising, and are scanned for that purpose."
"Many of Hasan's critics were quick to argue that his post is an example of horseshoe theory, where the far-left and far-right eventually find common ground. The Free Press's Peter Savodnik replied to Hasan and wrote, All the worst people have come together to celebrate their Jew hatred, which they now feel free to advertise and cash in on. That's what's happening."
Mehdi Hasan retweeted Candace Owens, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and former Rep. Matt Gaetz and posted that he planned to take a very long shower. He shared a clip of Marc Caputo reporting that Gaetz claimed congressional members and candidates wore name badges with QR codes that AIPAC donors would scan to contribute. AIPAC denounced the claim as a lie, saying barcodes on name badges are for security reasons and are scanned for that purpose. Owens has recently made controversial remarks, including suggesting Israel was linked to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Critics accused Hasan of illustrating horseshoe theory and of aligning with antisemitic voices.
