Democrat Rep. Defends Piker: "We need a majority in the Senate"

Rapid Response

Democrats are doubling down on campaigning with communist Hasan Piker because in their own words, they "need a majority in the Senate."

 

Piker is supporting Democrats across the nation, notably Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff – whose silence has been deafening. 



Hasan Piker has a long list of vile comments, but Democrats are embracing him anyway:


  • "America deserved 9/11”
  • He doesn't "have an issue with" Hezbollah
  • "It doesn't matter if fucking rapes happened on October 7”
  • Date rape is “better” if it happens to rich women
  • Fantasized about killing landlords: "Kill those motherfuckers, murder those motherfuckers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood.”
  • Called Jews “inbred” and “rabid”
  • "I would say China is probably the closest…to an example that we should follow and lessons that we should learn from."
  • "I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart for… for America.”
  • On the now-rescued Air Force pilots shot down by Iran: "It’s gonna be quite difficult for me to feel a sense of sympathy for American Air Force pilots when I know what they’re doing."

Democrats are standing alongside a terrorist sympathizer who wants America to fall, begging the question: who are Democrats actually working for?
