From your link:

>Richard Hanania is an American political science researcher and right-wing political commentator

Being a partisan "commentator" automatically makes you a "propagandist" now?

I don't have any prior knowledge about Richard Hanania, but the second sentence of that wiki page is

> Between 2008 and the early 2010s Hanania wrote for alt-right and white supremacist publications under the pseudonym Richard Hoste.

That seems much more serious than just being a "partisan commentator"

>He acknowledged and disavowed his writing under the pseudonym when it was reported in 2023,[5][4] although a number of journalists note that Hanania continues to make racist statements under his own name.[3][7][4][6]

In America? Have you been paying any attention to how insane the American right has become? We’re about to have a dude who fucks porn stars as President. Again. Oh and an insurrectionist.

The "the American right" isn't a monolith. So far as I can tell, he doesn't condone whatever trump did or the capitol hill attacks.
