THE CLIP
But Hasan said he had no patriotism for America.
The line is real. He immediately broadened it to patriotism in general and said, “I care about people.”
“Hasan went to China to praise authoritarianism and denounce America.”
WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
The quote is real. Hasan said he meant a lack of patriotism in general, explained that he cares about people, and later repeated that the flag-raising ceremony was not something he personally felt patriotic about.
The full record includes Hasan's “just in general” qualification and his later explanation of what he meant by lacking patriotism.
THE SURROUNDING RECORD
The viral excerpt came during Hasan's November 10, 2025 China livestream at Tiananmen Square. While watching people travel from around China for the national flag-raising ceremony, he said he had no sort of patriotism in his heart for America, adding “just in general,” and followed with “I care about people.” The caption omits the qualification he gave in the same breath.
Hasan addressed the clip two days later. He said he meant that he is not patriotic “in general,” that the flag-raising ceremony was not something he could personally connect with, and that the point was his own lack of nationalistic feeling.
The context is specific: Hasan said he lacks patriotism in general and does not personally connect with the flag-raising ceremony.
THE QUOTED LINE
“I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart for America, just in general.”
