Excuse the below language in Piker’s direct quotes. This is critical to ensure we fully understand the truth behind the guy running the Democrat Party:
I’m including context where the quote is especially easy to misrepresent.
Probably his most infamous quote. He was arguing that U.S. foreign policy helped create the conditions for 9/11.
2. “We totally brought it on ourselves, dude.” — 2019
Same 9/11 rant, where he was blaming U.S. foreign policy and interventionism.
3. “America deserved 9/11… in a video game.”
He immediately tried to qualify the statement with “in a video game”/“hypothetically, politically,” which became part of the meme surrounding the clip.
4. “Hamas is a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state.”
This was said in the context of his comparison of Hamas and Israel and has been repeatedly cited as one of his most inflammatory statements.
5. “It doesn’t matter if fucking rapes happened on October 7. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me.”
One of his most controversial statements concerning reports of sexual violence during the October 7 attacks.
6. “Outlaw boomers. Outlaw Thanksgiving.” — 2026
More recent Hasan: he made the comments while reacting angrily to Francesca Hong’s defeat in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, blaming older voters and expressing frustration with the electorate.
7. The Dan Crenshaw rant:
He mocked Crenshaw’s war injury with an extremely graphic sexual insult, referring to a “brave fucking soldier” and describing the injury in obscene terms. It was part of the same 2019 controversy that produced the 9/11 quote.
A small segment of the progressive left support this piker provocateur but that influence is highly contested within the Democratic Party. Prominent Democrats, including Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens, have explicitly condemned him and his comments. Democrats at large are not “all on board” with Hasan. It’s that Piker has acquired meaningful influence among a segment of the progressive left, while other Democrats are increasingly pushing back against him and what he represents.
I would not go so far as to say he’s running the Democrat party. The Establishment Democrats will likely be doing their best to hide association with Piker as we approach the general.
I hear people online try to associate Tucker Carlson with the GOP, and specifically with JD Vance. It’s especially the case if you have a Jewish last name. And that association, I don't appreciate. So to remain intellectually honest, I’m not going to tie Piker as voice for all Democrats. But certainly will for those D candidates that allow him to campaign alongside (latest being El-Sayed).
Piker has also (this year) campaigned alongside Reps. Rashid Tlaib (MI), Ilhan Omar (MI) and Ro Khanna (CA).
These Reps are inside the D party for sure. But i would not characterize them as Establishment D’s.
I guess it’s not surprising that women who treat a trans kid as the ultimate in chic accessorizing, and who applaud the right to abort their children up until birth, think any leftist who screams “affordability!” is a caring genius.
These DSA communists can’t even explain their policies. When asked “what do you mean by tax the hell out of millionaires?” They don’t even know. All they know are socialist and communist slogans. The Republicans have never been good at messaging and give away wins on silver platters. It’s shocking they ever win with the media having gone full Marxist. Now is when they need to stand up, but it’s doubtful they’ll find a backbone after all these years. The media and our education system are primarily to blame, and the spiritual battle we are in. It’s discouraging, but God is in control.
After spending the last 11-years fully absorbed while nefariously and illegally doing everything they could 24/7/365 to destroy Trump — after spewing hatred so vile they inspired an unprecedented six men with guns to come for Trump — after publicly celebrating the horrors of both October 7th and the assassination of Charlie Kirk — while they were totally consumed by Trump they were blind to their creation of the atmosphere that allowed Hasan Piker to rise to power so viciously he now commands their own party.
(I just commented on this issue, so please forgive a copy and paste.) The trans issue seems like the iceberg that has put a hole in the side of leftism as a whole. It’s a dilemma they can’t avoid. If they bow to reality, tradition, and majority opinion, not only does their coalition fracture, they undermine the entire leftist worldview. They’d be admitting that their social engineering won’t work any better than the USSR’s plan for a “new Soviet man.”
It is all about the timing. The Communist / Socialist playbook will destroy the economy, affordability and the freedom of choice that Americans have enjoyed for almost 300 years. It is what makes America great and desirable for people from around the world. I do not see Russia or Cuba as a global tourist destination. The freedoms and options for accommodations, touring and meals are miserable. China only became a destination when it lifted its own Iron Curtain, even though it is still highly authoritarian and you have to watch your step while there. Mamdani and friends better hope they gain control of the country before the sh-t hits the fan
Nice post, Sasha. What has me worried is that somehow, people who are critical thinkers, people who respect the very basics of biology, people who oppose killing a baby way beyond the theoretical arguments over when does life begin and when life is absolutely certain to have begun - somehow - we're in the minority? I don't understand it.
I have now watched about as much Hassan Piker as I need to or can stomach, and I can't understand why anyone would want to listen to the guy. He's genuinely not that smart. He's foul. I just don't get that he could have an audience.
I can't believe that Michigan could hand a Senate seat to El-Sayed - or that it is even close. That guy cannot truthfully raise his hand and take an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies. It's beyond the realm.
Until the mainstream press start talking about the Trump admin's achievements rather than making every news cycle about criticizing every little thing he does, we won't be able to "take back the narrative". They can talk about things all day long but the press won't cover them. Had lunch with a friend yesterday whose whole family are raging leftists. When she asks me about political issues, I start to convince her. But then she tells me that when she talks about the same things with her family members, they convince her of their side. Ordinary people can't sort out what the realities are on issues like climate change, socialism, transgenders in women's sports, transing children, etc. when they only stay in their left-wing bubble and idolize people like AOC and whatever she says.
The press and your friend’s family will not change, at least not anytime in the near future. They have been indoctrinated and made mad. It is a cult and there is no way to deprogram someone in it, because its members believe they are the “better angels among us”. I believe it would take a cataclysmic natural or human-caused event to bring them out of their mind hive. Pessimistic, I know, but that we have so many un-self aware fellow citizens (and non-citizens) among us, who just cannot realize how good we have it here in America, is a very bad sign to say the least.
Until they have all the power, then they’ll just throw them off buildings
Piker is a true asshole. Unbelievable.
The Democratic policy position can be summed up in “Shut up and do what we tell or there will be consequences for you and yours”

So why do the Democrats have Piker on the stage with them? Because I’ve seen him, am I not supposed to believe my own eyes.
Only Squad members, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna and El-Sayed have had Piker on stage with them in 2026.
I don't know about the "pushback." It looks more to me like, "Please, don't hurt me."
Piker created Abdul.
Just. Sit. Down.

Unless you are cutting and pasting somebody else's comment, no need to apologize for copying and pasting your own comment.
Thanks. I don’t usually do it, and wanted to distance myself from those people who have canned comments they copy everywhere.
Piker is no alpha, he’s a whiny stupid little b cluster cry baby.
If he were five-foot-four, nobody would be paying any attention to him.
Hmm, Fuentes is 5 feet four inches.
And you see how well he's doing! LOL

Excellent!
Hasan Piker is certifiably insane and Democrats are lauding him. Tells us all we need to know about them.
All this, and he likes to torture his dog with electric shock training.
Nice post, Sasha.

Weird times... Weird times.
I blame the internet.

Don’t underestimate Trump’s ability to grab headlines when he wants to.
Good point. Sometimes it's hard to see the positives living in the PNW where I am surrounded by left wing nutcases.
The press and your friend’s family will not change, at least not anytime in the near future. They have been indoctrinated and made mad.
