Hasan has responsibility to at least call out his own mods, even if he's not her father and can't control what she does, she represents his community in many ways. it's disingenuous to pretend he has no influence or responsibility over what they do and say. if she did something you find morally questionable, I bet you'd be demanding Hasan fired her.
If I employed and signal boosted a Nazi, would you be sitting there saying that I'm "not their father" and that Nazis are "grown people"? Of course not, you would rightfully be upset that I'm boosting a Nazi.
Of course frogan is a grown person. Signal boosting and employing them (especially in a social setting) is a tacit approval of their views. She would be sitting at a single digit number of viewers if it wasn't for Hasan directly amplifying her platform, so it is a valid avenue of criticism.
It's even worse in his case specifically, because she and others were directly attacking Ethan for thinking Israel should exist (and being a Jew), and when Ethan asked him for help to get it to stop, he just went with a massive shoulder shrug.

the issue is with him not calling out his mods in a serious manner for being weirdos and extremists, not with his opinion about Bin Laden
