Former Democrat and celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels stunned New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali after he tried to smear her as a “white nationalist.”
During an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Ali attacked Michaels for expressing valid concerns about Islamic extremism. Ali suggested her views are outdated, and then he doubled down, calling Michaels a white nationalist.
Ali stated, “Ahmad Al-Ahmad is a 43-year-old Muslim fruit vendor who, unarmed, decided to bumrush one of the terrorists, disarmed him, took the gun while he was being shot at. He was shot twice. I didn’t realize this at first when I saw that amazing video. But then I later saw that he was shot twice. He held off the other shooter, and he saved lives.”
“In Germany, in March, there was a deranged Saudi national who, by the way, became radicalized by AfD and this type of white nationalism, and ended up hating Islam. He rammed a truck in a terrorist attack through a crowd. You know who stopped him? A Pakistani Muslim cab driver in Germany stopped him.,” he continued.
“When there was an attack on Jews in was in France a couple of years ago, there was an African-Black immigrant who protected them.”
“This is the story of an individual who decided to lean into empathy and decency and compassion and squared off against two individuals who were radicalized, we don’t know how, and saw Jews as the target through their dehumanization. There are 1. 7 billion Muslim people on Earth. Gillian’s talking points are from 2001, which is why I yawned.”
“The DeLorean right now is in 2025.”
Michaels cut in, “They’re not at all, actually.”
Ali continued, “Listen, I’ve been in this for a long time, Gillian. I know you’re discovering this. Congratulations. Let me just finish. I let you say a lot of hateful, stupid, reckless things about Muslim and Islam.
“You want to say 1%? That’s 20 million people,” Michael pressed.
“Gillian, you are….”
“You still have 16 dead, Wajahat.”
“You, by your own admission, are a white nationalist. By your own admission, that’s what you are, a white nationalist. You admitted it,” Ali stated. “I saw the clip.”
“You know I’m Arab, right?” Michaels asked. ” I’m Syrian and Lebanese and Turkish.”
“You’re the one who said it. I didn’t say it. That’s why I was shocked,” Ali continued.
“When did I say I was a white nationalist?” Michaels asked. “When was that?”
“You’re not a white nationalist?” Ali pressed. “Wasn’t there a clip saying you were a white nationalist? When was that? You’re not a white nationalist.”
“No,” Michaels stated emphatically.
“Okay, interesting. Interesting to know. All right,” he replied.
Michaels then pressed Ali, “Where’s the clip that I said it was a white nationalist?”
A stuttering Ali answered, “I’m under the mistaken impression. I thought you were a white nationalist. I’m glad you’re not. But let me just finish. Since 2001…..”
Michaels cut in, “I’m a not a white nationalist. How about a little homework, Wajahat.”
“How about just a little?”
“All right, let’s do homework. Let’s do homework. Since 2001, Piers, since 2001, you and me, we were against the war on terror. We said that the war on terror would be disastrous. We said that the war on terror, America’s response to 19 foreign hijackers bringing down the two towers would cause immense chaos, dissension. What happened? America went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan off of terrible evidence, off of the same type of bullshit that Gillian is saying right now. If even 1% of Muslims, yada, yada, yada. What happened?”
“It’s all fact-based. You want me to cite the resources?” Michaels pressed. “Where would you like me to start? Pew Research, Counter Terrorism Discourse estimates, the European Court of Human Rights…..Are you kidding me?”
A petulant Ali continued….”Gillian, let me finish. Over 1 million Iraqis were killed. Afghans were killed and tortured. And it led to the radicalization of ISIS. It brought nothing but pain and misery in division. Muslims, Jews, aren’t going anywhere, folks. We’re in this together. And what we have to realize that there are hate mongers who seek to divide us right now, like Gillian, who want to bring up Islamophobia and anti-seminism.”
“Actually, I’m not trying to divide us at all, Wajahat ” Michaels affirmed. “You’re the one actually has tried to divide us.”

The irony is thick with Ali’s attempts to smear Michaels as a racist after he unleashed a bigoted anti-white tirade on social media last week.
Ali, a Pakistani-descent Muslim whose parents came to the U.S. in 1965, seems unappreciative of his opportunity to live the American dream. Instead, he sees his family’s entry into the United States as proof that White Americans’ days are numbered.
In a video shared on social media, Ali said, “You have lost. You lost.”
“The mistake that you made is you let us in in the first place.”
Wajahat Ali: “Whites, your mistake is you let us in. We are breeding people. Your culture suck. You already lost.”
