When Tucker Carlson threw arms about Hitler fanboy and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, the Republican Party and MAGA showed him the door. Good!

President Trump was dismissive: “Tucker has lost his way. He’s not MAGA.”

Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly also are gangrenous-hearted Israel haters who were booted curbward by MAGA patriots. Toot sweet.

Contrast those righteous GOP heave-hos to Democrats’ despicable ‘normalization’ of antisemitism, as well as pro-terrorism fancies and hatred of America, presently spouted by the miserable Hasan Piker.

Piker is the America-loathing wretch about whom top Democrats have thrown arms of late. The nephew of The Young Turks host, atheist Cenk Uygur, Piker is infamous for promoting communist China, railing at our country, and spewing poisons that Democrats a generation ago would have bolted convention doors against.

Today, though, they heft him on their shoulders. Piker is no insignificant, fringe annoyance. He is reputed to have over 3 million online adherents. Influential Democrats recruit him for campaign stops.

(I understand that roaring outrageously can attract attention, which is surely mother’s milk for those craving celebrity at any cost. But Democrat pin-up Piker wallows unabashedly in evil’s feces.)

Piker has been feted on recent campaign trails by Bernie Sanders, AOC, Rep. Ro Khanna, Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and Pennsylvania’s U.S. Rep. Summer Lee. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared on his show.

Erstwhile Barack Hussein Obama staffers-turned-podcasters have also waved Piker pom pons.

Another highly-situated left gusher is Rep. Rashida Tlaib. An April 9 piece in The Hill (“Hasan Piker lays bare the left’s double standard on hate”) related that Tlaib, Lee, and El-Sayed hosted Piker at a Michigan rally.

Piker told attendees “America deserved 9-11” and that he “hates this f-ing country so much.” Afterward, Tlaib cooed to him: “You’re always welcome here!”

The Hill added Piker has endorsed “killing landlords” and claimed Hamas is “a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state [Israel].”

An April 7 Politico article reported El-Sayed refused to condemn Piker’s Jew-hating and subversive remarks, and insisted it’s “critical” that more Democrats call the diabolical one friend.

(El-Sayed went on to claim Israel choreographs U.S. foreign policies.)

An August GQ tongue-wash profile, replete with glamour shots (including a bubbly bathtub one), oohed and ahhed over Jew-hater Piker’s abs. During a since-deleted Piker podcast, he reacted to a BBC interview clip, in which an elderly South Vietnamese woman who had escaped that communist hellhole recounted her struggle.

“As Vietnamese refugees, we have endured suffering under the communist regime,” she told the BBC.

Piker snarled that the survivor of a brutal, oppressive ideology he so adores (and urges be embraced, here) was an “old lady,” “idiotic old lady,” and “Christian supremacist.” Too, he mocked the headphones she wore (?), ridiculed her status as a survivor of left authoritarianism, and assailed her with nine variations on the f-bomb.

In one paragraph. How very tolerant.

As far back as October, 2024, Rep. Ritchie Torres (a rare naysaying elected Democrat) quoted Piker’s poison in a letter to Piker-platforming online site Twitch:

‘Hasan Piker has emerged as the poster child for the post-October 7th outbreak of antisemitism in America,’ the representative wrote. ‘Mr. Piker has demonized Orthodox Jews as “inbred” and has dehumanized a Jewish man as a “bloodthirsty pig dog” …

He quoted Piker’s vile comment that “It doesn’t matter if rape happened on October 7th. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me.”

Can veteran liberal voters imagine such venom spewed by JFK, Carter, or Bill Clinton? Of course not. But their old-school Democrat Party vanished long ago. Its priorities and principles were jettisoned by today’s ice-blooded imposter, who stole the party name.

Piker has burbled he has “no issue” with inhuman and bloodthirsty Hezbollah terrorists. (Our government officially declared Piker’s Hezbollah pals as a terrorist organization.)

Undeterred, Piker also hosted a suspected Houthi terrorist on his podcast. (The Houthis are a Specially designated Global Terrorist Group.)

Letter-writer Torres noted “Piker has even gone as far as to incite violence, telling his followers to ‘kill’ and ‘murder’ people ‘in the streets’ and ‘let the streets soak in their red-capitalist blood.'”

Finally, Torres remarked, acidly “The 3,000 Americans incinerated or otherwise murdered in the Twin Towers; the falling men and women plummeting to their deaths from 110-story skyscrapers; according to Mr. Piker, all of them had it coming. They deserved it. One wonders whether Mr. Piker has ever seen an anti-American or antisemitic terrorist attack he didn’t like? He seems to live in a morally inverted universe where the true terrorists on 9/11 and 10/7 were not the perpetrators but the victims.”

President Trump and MAGA hurled haters through windows. Democrats blow kisses to Hasan Piker. Draw your own conclusions.
