Radical communist Hasan Piker, one of the main cheerleaders for far-left Michigan Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed, is doubling down on his hate-America rhetoric.
In a new interview with Axios, Piker claims that “pound for pound,” America conducts more terror around the world than al-Qaeda.
National Political Correspondent for Axios, Alex Thompson, asked Piker, “You once said that America is the top dog in terrorism.”
Piker replied, “Yes.”
Thompson, “Do you think America then is worse than al-Qaeda?”
Piker responded, “Pound for pound, as far as the number of deaths, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world.”
“I think that that is not only terror that we are waging on regular civilians in nations in the periphery, but it’s also having consequences on ourselves. It’s, it’s having dramatic consequences on the home front.”
“One, one clear example of this is what we did in Minab, right? There’s no distinction between blowing up a school, triple tapping it with Tomahawk missiles. If you’re killing 140 schoolgirls, that is an act of terror. 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.”

El-Sayed has repeatedly been asked to disavow Communist influencer Hasan Piker’s comments, including Piker’s assertion that “America deserved 9/11.”
He prevaricated and defended the comment, suggesting it was taken “out of context,” and he credited “gocha politics” and “cancel culture” for the controversy.
“Of course. Of course, it was a dumb statement, and of course, I think Hassan himself would say that was a dumb statement. He disavowed it. So yes, America didn’t deserve 9/11, but you know, to sit here and play gotcha politics with dumb things somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves to say, ‘Oh well, what does that mean about what you think?’” He said.
El-Sayed’s opponent, Michigan GOP Senatorial Candidate Mike Rogers, spoke at the first-ever Republican National Committee (RNC) midterm convention, where he exposed El Sayed for fundraising from ISLAMIC TERROR organizations.
White House advisor Stephen Miller called out the radical left and Democrat candidate Abdul El Sayed for fundraising from Islamic terror organizations and for his association with Piker.
“The Democrat Party has embraced the platform of individuals who fundamentally hate America and hate Americans,” Stephen Miller said. “Abdul El Sayed in Michigan campaigned with, sought the endorsement of, and promoted, along with Bernie Sanders, a man named Hasan Piker who is the new consultant and strategist for the Democrat Party. He is the man they are leaning on to choose for their policies…”
Stephen Miller continued, “Hasan Piker said that American and Americans deserve 9/11.”
“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation! 25 years after 9/11 and you have Democrats preaching hatred for America,” Miller said.
“The Democrat Party fundamentally has sided with the jihadists in the war on terror. That’s where we are right now,” Stephen Miller said to Fox News host Sean Hannity.
