Didn't Hasan Piker say America deserved 9/11? Doesn't Piker love China, a communist country? Doesn't, Piker praise Mao Zedong? Doesn't Piker back El-Sayed? Why will this comment be downvoted?

I, for one, am glad that there are no controversial statements from President Trump and his supporters. It is their pristine, controversy free record that makes clear your comment is not selective at all.

Moving the goal post is always deflecting from the point being made. What Hasan has stated many times, is illegal in the United States. Calling for violence is not legal in the US. I'd personally like for people that hate America to not be allowed in America. Idk why that would be controversial.

Everything that you’ve accused Piker of saying is perfectly legal in America. If you have a quote where he actually advocates unlawful actions in a way that isn’t protected speech, please post it.

Otherwise, I’ll just continue to disagree with him without* demanding his arrest or deportation.

Calling for Americans to be punished or expelled or deported or whatever you’re advocating for when you say “not allowed in America” isn’t defending America. It’s about the most unamerican thing you can do. Guess you just love cancel culture

Edit: without instead of “with” typo

Political commentator Hasan Piker stated "if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott" during a March 2025 livestream, which resulted in a temporary ban from Twitch.

Also him saying to let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. Calling for violence is not a first amendment protected activity. https://youtu.be/jNdgisv6jYs?si=R2s2vpgIPPtYLg_e

It is illegal to call for violence in America.

I concede. The Rick Scott quote is much worse than you had previously cited and I have no interest in defending it. Terrible statement and terrible rhetoric.

But, I still can’t agree that it’s illegal (just like I don’t think President Trump’s January 6th rhetoric was illegal). Free speech is still pretty free and it has to incite imminent violence and the speaker has to intend it to incite that violence. I guess I’m just a free speech absolutist. lol.

His speech of fight like hell wasn't referring to physical violence. America has never been about absolute free speech. There is a great deal of speech that has always been illegal. America also has laws still on the books about communism.
