@therecount: Angie Nixon 🤝 Keke Palmer During an interview Wednesday with CBS News' Gayle King, Angie Nixon — a democratic socialist who is suddenly in the national spotlight after her upset U.S. Senate primary win in Florida — was repeatedly asked whether she would ever campaign with left-wing political commentator Hasan Piker. Nixon responded she didn’t know who he was. Nixon has never made any public appearances with Piker. Nixon's claim comes as Democrats fret that progressive Abdul El-Sayed could lose to Republican Mike Rogers in the crucial Michigan Senate race, partly due to his ties to Piker, one of the left's most controversial figures. Earlier this year, El-Sayed got pushback for campaigning with Piker, whom Republicans have tried to attach to the Democratic Party due to his history of incendiary comments, including saying America deserved 9/11. #democrats #dsa #florida #hasan #cbs
The media's obsession over that guy is fucking weird.

Hasan averages around 25,000 viewers at a time. Fox News averages around 2.5 million. Why are we pretending like he’s some king maker? He’s a twitch streamer

Mainstream media is doing to Hasan Piker what they used to do to Farrakhan. Every leftist has to disavow him even if they’ve never had a previous association. It’s very weird and distracts from real issues

All this talk about Hasan Piker, but the media doesn’t care when people go on Joe Rogan’s podcast? Rogan has said a ton of controversial shit, but that doesn’t get associated with everyone who here talks with.

More like “we’re immediately trying to connect this woman to Hasan after her election, after we randomly tried to make this twitch streamer the fall guy and cancel any leftist by connecting them to Hasan as if they were connected to Osama Bin Laden” 😂

Mega Neon Man :
considering he's literally just a streamer, and NOT a politician as he has stated multiple times, asking someone if they would campaign with him is an absurd question.

I started using Twitch just to watch Hasan because of all of this media backlash. I commented on his stream I'm a new watcher and he read my comment out loud and gifted me a free sub 🥹
