The Story
Abdul El-Sayed called Hasan Piker's 9/11 remarks dumb but resisted calls to disavow him when pressed by Meet the Press. El-Sayed stated he is focused on who he is campaigning to, not his association with Piker. Peter Laffin argued the relationship raises questions about El-Sayed's judgment. Some outlets noted Piker's past praise for China.
