A top aide on Vice President Harris’ failed presidential campaign recently called for more cultural voices like the vocal anti-America and anti-Israel Twitch star, Hasan Piker, who previously faced backlash for saying that “America deserved 9/11.”
Harris’ former deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, said during a recent interview that Democrats are “losing hold of culture” and laid out a strategy for them to develop a “whole thriving system” ahead of future elections.
“We need a whole thriving ecosystem,” Flaherty told Semafor. “It’s not just Pod Save America, though I think we should have more of them. It’s not just Hasan Piker. We should have more Hasan Pikers. It’s also the cultural creators, the folks who are one rung out who influence the nonpartisan audience. Those things all need to happen together.”
Flaherty, who previously served as the director of digital strategy for the Biden White House, is likely to face backlash for calling for “more Hasan Pikers” due to Piker’s past controversial comments. Piker, who previously raised more than $1 million for Palestinian aid, has used his platform with millions of followers to downplay and justify terrorist attacks such as Oct. 7 and 9/11 as acts of resistance in recent years.
During a 2019 livestream, Piker praised the “brave f—ing soldier” who wounded conservative U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, while he was deployed to Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, asking, “Didn’t he go to war and, like, literally lose his eye because some mujahideen, a brave f—ing soldier, f—ed his eyehole with their d—?”
Piker joked about 9/11 again, saying, “Oh my god, 9/11 2 is going to be so sick” and “give Saudi Arabia a nuke so they can do 9/11 2.”

So the Democrat plan for the future, is to do more of the same only louder and more unhinged.
Pathetic.
Death to America! Death to the Jews!
This Piker needs a permanent attitude adjustment.
That is definitely the most repulsive thing I’ve read for awhile.
And of course, their whole, well-funded machine would rise up at every election opportunity so all they peeps would win, win, win, clear into the next century.
That’ll get a lot of Americans excited I’m sure.
Hasan Piker is Cenk Uygur’s nephew, and an absolute POS like uncle chunk. I’m not the biggest fan of Dan Crenshaw, but Piker’s remarks are vile.
Guy sounds line Obama’s beloved paster (when he pretended to be Christian) Jermiah Wright, same rhetoric that Obama never objected to ... until he got called out for it.
When CommieLa was mouthing platitudes like we need to 'roll up our sleeves' etc... that was the same crap as the above: ways to get an idea across with force but they're missing the obvious.With all that 'rolling up sleeves' and 'going past podcasts' etc, what these folks aren't saying is they have NOTHING TO SAY. WOKE is dead. The whole class struggle stuff (commieLite) crap is over a hundred years old. No one buys the 'sanctuary city' stuff anymore.. The race card has been retired. No one 'feels' every woman has to be believed... What have democrats got? Abortion. That's it. And it's being decided by the states. Can't do a national campaign on one idea and especially when that idea's been downgraded to a state issue.
