Hasan Piker Equates Israel's Right to Exist With Nazi Germany.
The Story
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker equated Israel's right to exist to Nazi Germany on Saturday during an interview on "The Breakfast Club." Piker called Israel an apartheid state and described it as a settler colonial operation that’s seeking out the expulsion or comp. Two weeks prior, Piker delivered a message to Democrats, urging them to defend me, acknowledging they don't always see eye to eye. Matthew Yglesias stated Democrats cannot campaign with Hasan Piker and then claim to barely know him. Debbie Dingell reportedly could not escape Hasan Piker during an appearance on MS NOW. Piker is described as a popular figure in the Democratic Party’s base due to his vicious anti-Americanism. Some Democratic politicians are reportedly distancing themselves from Piker after the primaries, viewing him as general election poison.
