In the course of getting absolutely roasted on social media, far-left SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah stands accused of perhaps discriminating against an African-American man.
Obeidallah is evidently one of those in the censorship-loving, liberal blue-check brigade (who may have to start paying for that privilege) outraged or panicked over the purchase of Twitter by free-speech-absolutist Elon Musk, the quirky and visionary billionaire.
Instead of the digital equivalent of a public square rather than an echo chamber, arrogant, authoritarian leftists obviously felt very comfortable controlling the narrative with various techniques under the platform’s prior management.
Musk has said that new content moderation policies are in the works.
Perhaps in that context, the Fordham Univ. Law School graduate and “comedian” took to Twitter with what appears to be an implied threat of deportation against the immigrant from South Africa by way of Canada.
“As a lawyer, I’m going to do research to see if @elonmusk in any way lied on his application for US citizenship. I’ll be making a FOIA request for his immigration application. If he lied anywhere on his application, we will move to strip him of US citizenship. Stay tuned,” he wrote.
This over-the-top assertion came in response to an unrelated tweet from Musk suggesting that Twitter’s board of directors might have withheld evidence during the court proceeding.
As a lawyer Im going to do research to see if @elonmusk in any way lied on his application for US citizenship. I’ll be making a FOIA request for his immigration application. If he lied anywhere on application we will move to strip him of US citizenship. Stay tuned.

Failing NewsNation host Chris Cuomo, the self-righteous ex-CNN anchor, also attended Fordham Law, for whatever that’s worth.
Parenthetically, the open-borders Biden administration hardly deports anyone, however, even in this vindictive, fantasy scenario.
Obeidallah, who did not define what he meant by “we,” backpedaled to some degree about his “research” with a passive-aggressive tweet that acknowledged that Musk has to first consent to release his immigration file for the progressive propagandist to get his hands on it pursuant to a freedom-of-information request.
If he doesn’t agree, Elon must be hiding something, the suspicious and rush-to-judgment leftist claimed without evidence, and in so doing, absurdly tried to compare himself to the way top-rated Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson who merely asks questions.
Just so everyone knows the facts, while I did make a FOIA request for Elon Musk’s immigration application he has to consent to the request before I can get the docs. If he consents, I will share the file. If he refuses to consent then we must ask: What is Elon hiding?!

At the same time, he reveled in the attention he drew over the attack on Musk, prompting an interesting exchange with conservative personality Stephen L. Miller, who offered the consolatory observation that while Obeidallah may have “lost his favorite toy” — this being Twitter — he still has Joy Reid, the race-obsessed MSNBC host.
You found my tweet and can't stop tweeting about it- that's called Triggered. Thanks for making my day Stevie

The Trump-loathing Obeidallah recently invited another lawyer, a former Watergate prosecutor, on his show to put forth a conspiracy theory that jury nullification plus “alternative facts” could prevent the federal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

As alluded to above, Twitter commenters have alerted the boorish barrister in various ways that he may need a continuing education, and legal refresher (which is mandatory in some jurisdictions). Here is just a small sample of the reaction:
You really aren’t very bright, are you?

Dean wants to strip US citizenship from an African-American man. https://t.co/DYqcaIYwvn

People breathless about fascism on the reg openly promoting stripping @elonmusk of US citizenship because he disagrees with them. Amazing. https://t.co/Fmuo3PG9z6

I’m calling for Dean to publicly release all his tax records for the last 5 years so we can check if he has been cheating on his taxes…
If he refuses, we have to ask what is he hiding? https://t.co/FDGAHAJGsA

If you’re not an immigration lawyer, you should stay in your lane. Immigration law is incredibly complex and isn’t something just any lawyer off the street can pick up and run with. I work with immigration lawyers, and there are some who’ve done it for decades and still struggle. https://t.co/G1z6txbXpK

I seem to recall people being dubious of a certain president’s citizenship status + those people being denounced as racists. But apparently this is ok.

Told yah Dems were xenophobic and racist.
It’s always projection with them.

And IF by chance you got his citizenship revoked, what did you gain?
IMHO, it’s a rather hollow victory.
Musk STILL owns Twitter, Telsa, SpaceX, pays for the Starlink satellites & more.— mke394 (@mke394) October 31, 2022
NOW you care about illegal immigration. #clown
