No, Democrats haven’t distanced themselves from Hasan Piker
A string of news stories informs us that Democrats have “distanced themselves” from America-hating Mao-loving antisemitic terrorist-cheerleader Hasan Piker.
TL;DR
- Only a small number of Democrats have explicitly condemned Hasan Piker's recent antisemitic remarks.
- Many Democrats have a history of campaigning with or appearing on Piker's show.
- The "Dems distance" campaign is seen as an effort to protect the candidacy of Abdul el-Sayed, a Piker associate.
- El-Sayed's past statements and alignment with Piker raise questions about his true stance.
- Piker's controversial views on violence and dictatorships are contrasted with el-Sayed's similar rationalizations.
