Hasan Piker just told the truth about America-hating Dems

Oops.With a little under seven weeks to go until the midterms, Democratic campaign surrogate and professional meathead Hasan Piker just committed a costly “Kinsley gaffe.”That is, he told the truth about what he and the ascendant wing of his party believe.During a disastrous sit-down with Axios’ Alex Thompson, the journalist reminded the meticulously manicured Twitch streamer that he had once deemed the United States “the top dog in terrorism” before asking: “Do you think America, then, is worse than al Qaeda?”“Pound-for-pound, as far as the number of deaths, yes.

We have caused tremendous terror all around the world,” replied Piker.This silver spoon-fed playboy is deserving of scorn and pity in equal measure.On the one hand, the lie is deeply corrupting.To submit that jihadis who revel in their murder of innocent life are the moral superiors of a flawed but well-meaning democracy that saved the world from Nazism, then communism and now stands in the breach against both Russo-Sino authoritarianism and Islamic extremism is to chant “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” like the witches of “Macbeth.”To excuse evil and revile good is, well, evil.On the other, Piker very well might just be too stupid to understand what he’s saying.After all, the same guy who cited bloodshed as the reason for his virulent anti-Americanism pranced around in a Mao costume earlier this year.It’s a truly painful experience to watch his gears turn, slowly.

For the Democrats who have used and defended him, however, there can be only contempt.Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and received his medical degree from Columbia.What’s his explanation for campaigning alongside Piker?And what about Bernie Sanders, the Senate elder who prefers Piker not just to his Republican colleagues, but to the likes of legendary Democratic strategist James Carville?
