Hasan Piker melts down after Francesca Hong loses: ‘Outlaw Thanksgiving’ and ‘outlaw boomers!’

August 13, 2026 | | Print Article

Radically left-wing podcaster Hasan Piker melted down after Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong lost her Democratic primary this Tuesday, despite polls that had previously shown her winning.

Hong, a rabid, unhinged socialist who hates capitalism, Thanksgiving, and the police, led establishment opponent David Crowley by double digits before abruptly getting trounced on Tuesday by over 3,000 votes.

Her loss infuriated Piker, who’d stumped for her during the campaign by inviting her onto his program to spew her filth:

According to the New York Post, Piker lost it while reading an article on air about a late-deciding voter who liked Hong but ultimately chose Crowley.

“I don’t want to read this because I will f–king kill myself with a gun in a video game,” Piker said on Wednesday’s edition of his show. “I can’t. I’m in a good mood overall. I want to put boomers in the machine, in the contraption, and not just boomers, like anyone that says that.”

Despite his rage, he did display a shred of introspection by recognizing that his close ties to Hong’s campaign hadn’t been helpful given his own radicalism.

“The monkey hanged himself,” he said. “I’m the monkey. And I’ve been staring too much of the median American voter for the last couple of months. I need a f—ing break, dude. Outlaw Thanksgiving and outlaw boomers.”

He also posted stunning tweets admitting that he should have “never” been Hong’s “biggest surrogate” given how negatively people view him over his own outrageous radicalism.

He had a point. Indeed, after Hong appeared on Piker’s podcast, she tried to distance herself from him by telling MS NOW that just because she shared a platform with him didn’t mean she endorses everything he’s ever said.

Piker, for his part, later warned that “the knives will be out” for the socialist wing of the Democrat Party despite Hong having ultimately gotten trounced.

“It will be more difficult, though, because the establishment will not underestimate us,” he said, according to Fox News. “It will continue to undermine us, but they will not underestimate us. So the knives will be out.”

Republican National Committee spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre responded to Piker’s remarks by calling for Democrats to disavow him.

“Hasan Piker is a Hamas-hugging radical with a long history of threatening rape and violence against those he disagrees with,” she said. “Democrats would do right to disavow him, but they’ll continue to bend to his will like spineless, useful idiots.”

Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and TV personality Spencer Pratt also responded to Piker’s remarks:

Piker’s own radicalism includes saying that America “deserved” the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, saying that the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel was a “direct consequence” of Israel’s own actions, and excusing Hamas’ brutal rape and murder of innocents.

Meanwhile, during Hong’s appearance months ago on Piker’s podcast, she called for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), launching government-run grocery stores, initiating a one-year moratorium on data centers, and more.
