MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is sick and tired of conservatives such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) rushing to the defense of Daniel Perry, who is accused of manslaughter for allegedly killing Jordan Neely on a New York City subway by placing in a chokehold that led to his death.
Perry has been charged with manslaughter by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and yet DeSantis saw fit to call Perry a “good Samaritan” for his actions.
That dichotomy led Hasan to tell fellow MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin on Sunday evening, “I’m a Muslim, but I’ve read my Bible. I’ve read the Gospel of Luke, the parable of the good Samaritan who helps the injured traveler after the priest and another man failed to do so. I don’t remember the good Samaritan choking the traveler to death.”
Mohyeldin agreed with Hasan, noting, “They are not a party that demonstrates compassion in the spirit of Christianity.”
Hasan added that he had a bit of advice for Christians who act in un-Christian ways:
DeSantis and the current rogue’s gallery of 21st century Republicans are nothing more than blatant hypocrites who think that if Jesus were riding on the subway, he’d be toting an AR-15 and daring people to make his day.
