Intercept.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan\u2019s cancelation comes on the heels of inflammatory remarks he made in 2009, long before becoming an MSNBC personality, circulating online last weekend when they were unearthed by New York Post reporter Jon Levine, although it doesn\u2019t appear the two are related.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter
