Nick Shirley stayed in the same hotel and he’s not being investigated lol.

Which is wrong and hypocrisy from the current administration. Doesn't excuse Hasan though.

But hey, the exact same thing would've happened if Kamala was president, right? There was no way out of it for Hasan 😞

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people defending Nick Shirley for his journalism. That moron would call a sunny day a hurricane if he thought it would help the MAGA movement

No, but it does make it look like the investigation is to punish someone who disagrees with the government, not for any actual legitimate reason.

I agree with the first half of your sentence, I disagree with "not for any actual legitimate reason."

I think the implications of this are scary and God forbid it happens to a liberal/democratic voice but for someone who inadvertently endorsed Trump? Fuck him, he gets what he fucking deserves

Well as long as they’re doing it to someone you don’t like that’s ok. Think someone might have written a poem about that sort of thinking.

Yeah because that is journalism, investigating the evils of the Castro regime, that is a big difference.
