Michigan Senate candidate El-Sayed declines to disavow Hasan Piker's past comments

Apparently people are calling Piker the Joe Rogan of the left.

That’s why they care.

Its easier than being anti-war.

Yeah... Here is what the article lists as being issues:

In 2019, Piker said on his livestream that “America deserved 9/11,” though he later apologized for the remark. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, Piker strongly condemned the Israeli response in Gaza and has disparaged the government in terms some Jews and supporters of Israel have labeled antisemitic.

So he rightfully called out the US for fucking around for decades in the middle east, and finally finding out. The US absolutely deserved 9/11 after over 50 years of actively arming violent middle eastern groups because it was convenient for their proxy wars, including the Taliban. It's convenient when your country is far enough away and isolated geographical in comparison so you never deal with any consequence.

The 9/11 attacks didn't come out of nowhere, and there was plenty of intelligence saying not only that Bin Laden was planning another attack (remember the WTC was already bombed by him previously in 1993), but also that the attack could involve planes. We had all the info and didn't do shit about it. The "Bush did it" conspiracy theorists have a lot to work with on this one. There is a lot more evidence than usual to support that conclusion.

And calling a spade a spade for the Zionist genocide is just fucking factual. Only the Zionists and their puppets want to conflate their extremist views with general anti-semitism. Something the Israeli lobbying groups have been pushing hard since the start of all this shit, and are spending millions to politicians to ensure they repeat.

Oh, they did. It's just buried in the middle so you miss it skimming.

In 2019, Piker said on his livestream that “America deserved 9/11,” though he later apologized for the remark. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, Piker strongly condemned the Israeli response in Gaza and has disparaged the government in terms some Jews and supporters of Israel have labeled antisemitic.

Both are factually accurate. Just not what the various US propaganda teams (aka millionaire donors/billionaire owners) want said.
