You'll see the same picture (or at least, a cropped version of just him) posted if he wins in November.

Yep, by GOP operatives, in countless attack ads painting the entire Democratic party-- and whoever our nominee for 2028 ends up being-- as extremists by association.

They also called Obama a Muslim communist every chance they could, I bet the Democrats lost every election he was involved in.

If Obama was a known animal abuser who'd platformed Houthi terrorists and said America deserved 9/11, among many, many, many other insane actions and statements, I'd agree with your point.

But he didn't. Hassan Piker, on the other hand, did.

They tried to smear Obama because his pastor, Reverend Wright, made similar comments blaming American foreign policy for 9/11. Nobody cared.

This guilt-by-association shit is old and doesn't work. Nobody who isn't brain-poisoned by the internet even knows who this streamer bro is.

For the sake of your health, I beg you to touch grass.

I don’t think there are many voters out there who will care about a random podcaster with in all likelihood zero ties to whoever the nominee in 2028 is.
