WHAT’S HAPPENING

In a recent interview with Axios, far-left influencer Hasan Piker declared that the United States has committed more terrorism than al-Qaeda "pound for pound."

The comments have intensified Republican attacks on Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who invited Piker to campaign for him during the primary. Other top Democrats like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have also associated with him, exposing how top Democrats are embracing the most radical figure in American public life.

Piker is a threat to all citizens, no matter the party affiliation! I'd suggest that if he hates our country, he leave ASAP!

"Is Hasan Piker a liability for Democrats?" Yes. Not just for Democrats, but all Americans. Since "that hating America is his "God-given" and "constitutionally protected right."", then, Piker, get the hell out of the USA ASAP and go to your country of choice. We do not need you and your like kind!!!!!!!

He claims a “God given and Constitutional right to hate America”- his speech is treasonous but not yet over the line in his actions. The real problems are our” useful idiots” who are voting for demo socialist:communists- who then gain legislative power-

Let us hope so.... something has to knock some sense in those Dem's stone-heads! Their remarks and vows shows they have become somewhat unhinged and even their own constituents are noticing!

I am reposting this thought, “ It's interesting that he openly hates America, but it's his "God-given and constitutional right to hate America. He clearly doesn't hate” the American rights protected by the constitution, something that he wants to destroy as a socialist. People like Piker should live in a socialist country as a citizen for a few years. He would experience losing his freedoms to ‘leave’ when he wants, do ‘business’ as he wants, and ‘say’ what he wants. I lived in a socialist country for a time and saw and experienced a heavy government hand in people’s lives. I was glad to get back to America! I know for a fact that those who want socialism will hate living under it or will become passively quiet about the terrors like the German citizens did

Agree 100%. All one has to do is experience it first hand or have conversations with someone who has immigrated here legally to realize how different what we have in this country really is and how fortunate we are that it is. Once the governments boot is on your neck it’s a bit late to realize the mistake. As the old saying goes “you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to fight your way out”. We can only hope and pray that the voters supporting the DSA have an awaking to that reality.

Is Hasan Piker a liability for Democrats? A resounding yes! He’s also a liability for everyone else. He and his ideas are dangerous. He’s not a rational person.

Let's hope he is a liability to them in the midterms. You lie down with dogs you get fleas.

Yes, why won’t the haters of America leave? Why do they keep hanging on in a country the hate? Only one reason: TO DESTROY AMERICA!

I don't think he is a liability for demoncrats. His beliefs are inline with far too many demoncrats. The liability is for the USA as a whole.

Hasan Piker may be a gift from God that is causing even radical democrats to rethink their position on political issues. Satan seems to have entered his heart and is controlling his influence among politicians, and those who continue to support him (e.g. Sanders, Khanna and AOC, etc.) will hopefully pay in the long run. It's interesting that he openly hates America, but it's his "God-given and constitutional right to hate America. He clearly doesn't hate the constitution!

He and all the other Communists like him that continue to gain support are not only a liability to the Dems but also a threat to the Nation overall.

Piker is absolutely a risk for the Democratic Party, he is closely aligned with the DSA which has gained entry into the so called “Big Tent” which means in the eyes of most Americans the New Democratic Party stands for nothing. This is all giving new life to the old adage: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”.

Yes. But Piker needs to move out of the country he hates so much.

Piker has the right to voice his aborhent, racist and anti-American views.In regard to Palestine, like many others, he is historically ignorant; there has NEVER been a Palestinian nation. He is a hypocrite who enjoys all the benefits of a capitalist system (cellphone, laptop, vehicles - non of which were invented in Socialist or Communist countries). He is a total hypocrite.

Yes, he’s a liability for the whole country!! These people that hate this country should all leave, especially those that are in government office. Their sole purpose for running for office is to destroy this country from the “inside” and the more they can deceive the population the faster they can destroy the country. It takes discernment that far too many people are severely lacking! No discernment= easy deception.

Piker is a cancer on society. I hope leftists like El-Sayed maintain their connection with Piker so it will tank their campaign. Lord knows we do NOT need any more like them in office.

Think we're all sick and tired of hearing anti-American Leftist shills like Piker state that it's their "God-given/Constitutional Right" to disavow and besmirch the U.S. to the most contemptuous and vile levels they can reach. Sorry but even Free Speech comes with a responsibility and consequence factor for what comes out of your mouth. There are lines in the sands of life and these parasites of the Left have most certainly crossed them in most seditious and treasonous fashion. Funny how this clown uses the Constitution as a defense mechanism seeing that he'd spit on it any other day of the week. Bottom line if Trump and Team want to show that they truly give a damn about our country then they need to stop playing in their sandbox and go after these scumbags starting with the likes of Piker. Again, their seditious and treasonous radical rhetoric needs to be met with decisive force and consequences. The question, as usual, is will these so-called Patriots do their Constitutional Duty?

Hopefully so. However this new Demoncratic Party keeps shooting themselves in the foot so who really knows how they are going to shake out. When they were good liberals instead of bad leftists they could be reasonable to deal with. But not anymore.

He is a threat to all, no matter what side of the coin you're on. I can't understand why states can ban the Babylon Bee for making fun of something or someone, but a vile America hater can get away with such gross, evil statements, and be a trader of his home?

If you are asking whether candidates he has campaigned for will win their elections, I’m afraid the answer would then be “no he’s not a liability to DEMOcrats at all”.
