Why does the left give Hassan Piker a pass?

Monday, May 04, 2026

For all the legacy media's obsessive warnings about far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it has shown far less interest in confronting a dangerous left-wing counterpart: Hasan Piker.

Couldn't open the article. Had no idea who Hassan Piker is so I did a quick google search.
Do you consider Politico as legacy? They call him out. www.politico.com

Get some morals, get some standards, get some ethics.

That's required if you want to lecture others on morals, standards, and ethics.

Jeff has no idea who Hasan Piker is, what he says, or what he stands for.

Author of Jeffy's contribution is, predictably, a rwing stooge.

Like Jeffy.

Go ahead and defend Piker, Sycophant. I know his messaging because he's been mainstreamed on the left. No mainstream conservative outlet would ever give Fuentes the time of day like NYT has done for Piker.

Her article should have been titled, "Whataboutism 101, Lessons in Logical Fallacies".

It's just another Rwing Whine; "But, Mommy, Little Hasan does it, too!".

Is that supposed to make it acceptable behavior?

Claiming hypocrisy is NOT an argument, much less a news article.

I saw this guy's name mentioned here a few times last week.

Looked him up and learned he's a podcaster who apparently was meh about a few stolen lemons.

And for some reason pedoringer has his panties all wadded over him.

I mean, I'm not surprised he's full of fauxrage over something he's been told to be fauxraged over, that's his MO.

'Hey guys, how come you're not paying super close attention to this guy I just learned about through spoon fed chain email talking points like you are to the guy who is a neo-Nazi white nationalist who was a significant player in the 2020 election denial and January 6 insurrection?!?! Stupid libruls!'

STFU idiot.

Who is in charge of "passes" around here?

All I know is I am not in charge of Passes around here.

I think Corky is in charge of passes.

Personally I don't need no stinking pass.

Just a login. And that's still annoying to me.

Do you still need passes when Gracie is no longer patrolling the halls?

I can't even log in on another device at the moment because I forgot my password, lol.

I have about as much pull around here as Matt Drudge.

"You need to be shanking these ------------"
"I'm going to kill you with my AR-15"
"Let the streets soak in their ------ red capitalist blood"
"Yeah kill them, kill those ---------, murder those --------- in the street, let the streets soak in their ---- red capitalist blood."

idk seems kind a graphic, seems like he stands for KILLIN capitalist.

Did you see his speech this last week at the DSA? No? Basically, he's said the DSA is using the Democratic Party as a vehicle to implement his "killing".

He is more extreme than the extremist the Democrat Elite (SPLC) say they are against.

idk I haven't seen Nick's statements as crazy as Hasan.

But I will say you Lumpers run around claiming everyone is a NaAZI, yet you support a literal NAZI, and Hasan.

Did you know the extremist Palestinian movement was fostered by Nazi Germany?
Seems like the Democrat party is going down the same path, and no one but me is worried about it.

I never heard of this Hasan Piker before today.

I don't like fascists, no matter where found.

That's probably why you and I don't get along.

Neither had anyone else. He will be forgotten tomorrow unless someone shoots him.

again several of "you people" show ignorance of what's going on.

THE FACE OF TODAY'S DEMOCRAT PARTY AND A GUY WHO WOULD GET ALONG WITH "YOU PEOPLE">..

Piker is a supporter and worker on the Abdul El-Sayed campaign for
senator from Michigan.
when asked about Piker's comments Abdul had nothing but praise for the
radical zealot podcaster who is on recorded proof of saying....

"america deserved 911"

"it doesn't matter if fucking rapes happened on Oct 7"

"kill them. murder them. let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood"

"I support Hamas over Israel....every single time"

"we must end the American empire. If we do not do this, then the american empire
will come to an end in a much more violent way"

"date rape better if it happens to rich women."

"kill your landlord"

look it up..I'd say google it but you'll have to search a while...NO SOURCE YOU'RE

ALLOWED TO SEE is going to inform you on this despicable nut job.

He's one of the Lefts leading Twitch and Youtube streamers and you're all going to claim to never have heard of him? Like him or hate him, it's virtually impossible to be up to speed on current cultural and media happenings without knowing of him. So just more checkboxes that most of the posters here are just leftist trolls at this point.
