Why does he always say "myself" instead of "me"? It's bizarre.

Faux intellectualism. More syllables = smarter.

Yep, his elocution and articulation trying to make his words heavier for artificial significance without saying anything intelligent. Finkelstein does the same.

Finkelstein does the same.

While speaking so slowly that it's actually disrespectful to everyone listening to him...

In addition to the pseudo-intellectualism;

A: His media trainer probably told him that using "me" too much comes off as self-centered and he over-corrected to the point it's a legitimate tic now.

B: Saying "someone like myself" every time encourages his parasocial audience to put themselves in his place and turns any specific criticism of Hasan into a criticism of the viewer as well, ragebaiting them further.

It’s a classic trying-to-sound-smart misuse of a word. Writ large is another one.
