During hatemonger Hasan Piker’s first-ever MS-NOW appearance, a host brutally reminded him that he’s “never elected anybody.”
The reminder came from Symone Sanders-Townsend, a Democrat operative who previously worked on the presidential campaigns of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“I used to work campaigns, Hasan, and I have to tell you, if I was a strategist or a consultant or the political director on one of these campaigns, I would absolutely be telling my people to disavow you,” Sanders-Townsend bluntly told Piker during his appearance on the “Clock It” podcast.
“I really would, because we wanna win!” she added. “We wanna win, and so like, if you’re not gonna help people win, distance.”
Listen:
“That’s a disagreement we have,” Piker fired back.
“I’ve elected people, though,” Sanders-Townsend promptly retorted. “You’ve never elected anybody.”
And that’s because Piker — who’s a rabid, unhinged socialist/communist who hates capitalism, Thanksgiving, and the police — spends most of his day spewing hateful vitriol on his own podcast.
His radical vitriol 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.

Piker quadrupled down on his hate during an Axios interview this week in which he said bluntly that the United States is more of a terrorist group than al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
“Pound for pound as far as the number of deaths, yes,” he said when asked whether America conducts more terrorism than al-Qaeda. “We have caused tremendous terror all around the world.”
“If you’re killing 140 schoolgirls, that is an act of terror,” he added. “This doesn’t mean that all Americans are terrorists, but the reality of the matter is we have to create an environment of accountability to ensure things like that never happen again.”
Deranged. Hasan Piker tells Axios that America is worse than Al-Qaeda… 🚨
AXIOS: “You said that America is the top dog in terrorism.”
HASAN PIKER: “Yes”
AXIOS: “Do you think America is worse than Al-Qaeda?”

Continuing his remarks on the “Clock It” podcast, Piker attacked Democrats who make an issue out of his radical hate.
“When I see Democrats lean into a Republican-backed messaging campaign to show how wonderful they are, to show how, you know, to show how different they are from people like myself, I get increasingly frustrated,” he moaned.
Why? In his estimate, it doesn’t matter how sane Democrats attempt to act, because Republicans will always smear them as communists.
“It’s like a messaging bill where Democrats always do this, where they go and they vote against, like, socialism and communism or whatever. They’re still gonna call you ‘communists,'” the rabid communist explained.
“It doesn’t matter if you voted against, you know, or if you voted for a messaging bill that says, ‘America will never be a socialist country.’ They’re still gonna call you a ‘socialist,'” he added.
That was a lie. The reason Republicans rightly call Democrats socialists and communists is that they have habitually refused to condemn both, including just a few weeks ago:

Piker wasn’t done spewing bull.
“They’re insincere,” he said of Republicans, “so we should never play by their rules, and we should never play by our opposition’s framing.”
“That’s what I’m frustrated by,” he continued. “I know I’m in the center of this story, so it seems like I’m just engaging in self-defense, but this is what I’ve been yelling to Democrats for years, far before I became the number one villain of the Republican Party.”
