Hasan Piker to Dems: Don't Quit Me
Hasan Piker, two weeks ago, delivered this message:
"Democrats, listen to me, I know we don't always see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but you have to literally, at some point — I know you don't want to do this — defend me. Not because you love what I have to say, not because I'm part of this coalition, even though I am, whether you like it or not ... I'm not this dangerous, toxic radical force."
Was that a warning or a threat?
Some 10 days later, what did this non-"dangerous, toxic radical force" say?
"Because people don't f*** with Israel any longer. And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone's going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews."
This was too much for Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who during the primary campaigned with his friend "Hasan" and had refused to stop campaigning with him. El-Sayed said, "Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms." But El-Sayed did not call Piker's comment antisemitic or promise not to campaign with him again.
