Abdul El-Sayed is the Democrat Party’s candidate for the United States Senate from the state of Michigan, and he is just the latest on an ever-growing list of Democrat candidates who would deride Uncle Joe Stalin as a reactionary capitalist roader. The Democrat establishment is feeling the heat, but one of El-Sayed’s most fervent and prominent boosters, the fiendishly anti-American and antisemitic social media star Hasan Piker, is in no mood for reconciliation.
On the contrary: flush with El-Sayed’s victory, Piker is ready to move in for the kill and take over the Democrat Party, which is already a hollowed-out shell, for the authoritarians and oligarchs who claim they’re the champions of the common people. Piker insists that there will be no “mending bridges” with the establishment Democrats. Like Stalin rooting out the “rightists” (including many of the Bolsheviks who helped establish the Soviet Union and even some who helped Stalin gain absolute power) and sending them to their deaths, Piker wants the Democrat Old Guard to leave the arena, giving up the hollowed-out shell that is today’s Democrat Party and allowing the Marxists to gain full and official control.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that Piker “rejected calls for El-Sayed and his supporters to start ‘mending bridges’ in the wake of his contentious primary against congresswoman Haley Stevens.” For Piker, who has said that “America deserved 9/11,” it is clearly time to burn those bridges, not mend them.
El-Sayed’s “top campaign surrogate” raged at supporters of Stevens, saying: "Everyone being like, 'Abdul has a f**k-ton of work to do mending bridges,' here's the f*****g take nuke for you, okay? You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s**t." Turning his anger up to 11, Piker ranted: "You literally called the dude a f*****g terrorist for months on end, and, like, called him a sexist, misogynist, terrorist, bad candidate, fake doctor, when he has, like, two f*****g degrees. And now you're gonna sit there and be like, 'Well, you know, you've really got to come to me now.' Like, what are you talking about?"
It’s common for the charge of “Islamophobia” to be leveled at anyone who dares to oppose any Islamic initiative, and such charges are often based on claims that have only a glancing relationship with the truth, but Piker is really laying it on thick here. Haley Stevens, after all, is another far-left Democrat. The idea that either she or her supporters would brand Abdul El-Sayed a “terrorist” strains credulity far, far beyond the breaking point. As far as Hasan Piker is concerned, however, Stevens dared to stand between El-Sayed and the U.S. Senate, and so therefore she must hate Islam.
Piker “expressed some concern that Democrats could struggle to rally behind El-Sayed, but he blamed the issue on Stevens's backers rather than on El-Sayed's far-left positions and comments excusing Islamic terrorism.” Of course. No Michigan voters could possibly have any problem with electing a Marxist apologist for jihad violence to the Senate. The problem must be “Islamophobia.”

And so Piker said: "I do worry that there are some out there who, in an effort to make sure that this narrative that a progressive can win in a state like Michigan doesn't take root, will literally either subtly or not so secretively endorse Mike Rogers,” El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, “or stay out of the race while trying to push the excitement in the opposite direction. Like, everyone is already doing the, 'Can El-Sayed unite the Democrats?' And that question is just … Can El-Sayed get the people and the groups and the NGOs and the consultants that have worked extensively for pro-Israel candidates to shut the f**k up about El-Sayed being a terrorist for a long enough timeline so that we can consolidate the base and defeat the f*****g Republican?"
Well, leftists generally circle the wagons around their chosen candidates, no matter what their weaknesses, so El-Sayed likely has nothing to worry about, at least in terms of “Islamophobic pieces of s**t” in his own party. Democrat top dogs, however, have abundant reason to be nervous in the wake of El-Sayed’s primary victory over Stevens. Hasan Piker has put them on notice: Their days are over. This is the party of Madame Mao and Pol Pot now.
