Hasan Piker

thumb| Hasan Doğan Piker (born July 25, 1991) is an American left-wing online commentator and Twitch streamer. Quotes America deserved 9/11, dude. Twitch stream (c. August 21, 2019), quoted in Linda Qiu, "Fact-Checking 3 Competitive Senate Races in Maine, Michigan and Ohio", The New York Times (August 8, 2026). Misattributed by Mike Rogers to Abdul El-Sayed in the leadup to the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Michigan That is the one fear that's always in the back of your mind when you engage in any sort of political advocacy when you do these events.As a recipient of millions of death threats at this point over the years, watching that unfold in real time was devastating.I investigated a little bit further. I knew these kinds of events are filmed by many different points of view, because there’s a lot of people. Charlie Kirk's whole team is there, they're filming. From an interview by Adam Wren, as cited in "What Hasan Piker Told His Millions of Followers After Charlie Kirk Was Shot", Politico (September 11, 2025) America is a very violent country. But we have systematized this violence and we have normalized it. And inevitably that violence has also come back to the domestic front where there is unlimited bloodshed happening in schools. I mean, Charlie Kirk’s assassination was the 46th school shooting — technically, a shooting that happened at a school — and then the 47th happened less than an hour later in Colorado. From an interview by Ross Douthat, as cited in "Hasan Piker is Flirting with the Revolution", The New York Times (October 2, 2025) I'm a lesser evil voter and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time. From an interview with Pod Save America (April 2026), as cited in "Hasan Piker: What You Need to Know", Anti-Defamation League (April 16, 2026) We want more immigrants to come into your countries and then they're going to fuck your sisters and then your daughters...We're here to destroy the white race. Twitch stream (n.d.), quoted in Brecca Stoll, "El-Sayed Doubles Down After He’s Blasted For Disparaging Historic Michigan Destination", The Daily Wire (August 8, 2026) Quotes about Piker He's regularly called things such as "the Joe Rogan of the left" (yawn), or "the AOC of Twitch" or a "himbo gateway drug to leftist thought", none of which quite captures him. Steve Rose, "'I love when my enemies hate me': how Hasan Piker became one of the biggest voices on the US left", The Guardian (December 11, 2025) After bleating for more than a year that they desperately needed "a Joe Rogan of the Left," centrist Democrats are now predictably melting down over the prospect that they might actually get one. Branko Marcetic, "Let's Compare Hasan Piker's Comments to Elite Centrists'", Jacobin (April 30, 2026) He has a whole lot of followers and there’s a lot of things that he’s saying that make sense to a lot of people...I think we have to get above cancel culture. You know, when you’re doing radio, whatever they do — podcasts three hours a day — you say dumb things. Bernie Sanders, on CNN (August 4, 2026), as quoted in The Daily Wire (August 8, 2026) I told Hasan as well like, 'Hey, look, the show is not political. We don't want to deal with politics. We're most likely not going to have you on again.'
