During hatemonger Hasan Piker\u2019s first-ever MS-NOW appearance, a host brutally reminded him that he\u2019s \u201cnever elected anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Sanders-Townsend bluntly told Piker, a hatemonger, during his appearance on the \u201cClock It\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really would, because we wanna win!\u201d she added. \u201cWe wanna win, and so like, if you\u2019re not gonna help people win, distance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Listen:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a disagreement we have,\u201d Piker fired back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve elected people, though,\u201d Sanders-Townsend promptly retorted. \u201cYou\u2019ve never elected anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s because Piker \u2014 who\u2019s a rabid, unhinged socialist\/communist who hates capitalism, Thanksgiving, and the police \u2014 spends most of his day spewing hateful vitriol on his own podcast.<\/p>\n

His radical vitriol includes\u00a0saying that America \u201cdeserved\u201d the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, saying that the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel was a \u201cdirect consequence\u201d of Israel\u2019s own actions, and excusing Hamas\u2019 brutal rape and murder of innocents.<\/p>\n

Case in point:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cPound for pound as far as the number of deaths, yes,\u201d he said when asked whether America conducts more terrorism than al-Qaeda. \u201cWe have caused tremendous terror all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re killing 140 schoolgirls, that is an act of terror,\u201d he added. \u201cThis doesn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

AXIOS: \u201cYou said that America is the top dog in terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

HASAN PIKER: \u201cYes\u201d<\/p>\n

AXIOS: \u201cDo you think America is worse than Al-Qaeda?\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing his remarks on the \u201cClock It\u201d podcast, Piker attacked Democrats who make an issue out of his radical hate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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,\u201d he moaned.<\/p>\n

Why? In his estimate, it doesn\u2019t matter how sane Democrats attempt to act, because Republicans will always smear them as communists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a messaging bill where Democrats always do this, where they go and they vote against, like, socialism and communism or whatever. They\u2019re still gonna call you \u2018communists,’\u201d the rabid communist explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you voted against, you know, or if you voted for a messaging bill that says, \u2018America will never be a socialist country.\u2019 They\u2019re still gonna call you a \u2018socialist,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

That was a lie. The reason Republicans rightly call Democrats socialists and communists is because they have habitually refused to condemn both, including just a few weeks ago:<\/p>\n

Piker wasn\u2019t done spewing bull.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re insincere,\u201d he said of Republicans, \u201cso we should never play by their rules, and we should never play by our opposition\u2019s framing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m frustrated by,\u201d\u00a0 he continued. \u201cI know I\u2019m in the center of this story, so it seems like I\u2019m just engaging in self-defense, but this is what I\u2019ve been yelling to Democrats for years, far before I became the number one villain of the Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n
