Senate Hopeful El-Sayed Dismisses Hasan Piker's 9/11 Comments: 'Dumb Statement'
El-Sayed said Hasan Piker’s 2019 9/11 remark was wrong as critics tried to tie the streamer’s comments to his Senate campaign.
- On Sunday, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on his alliance with Hasan Piker, the streamer who claimed "America deserved 9/11."
- Campaigning with Piker, including at a Detroit party last week, has drawn scrutiny for El-Sayed as Piker faces backlash for saying "It doesn't matter if rape happened on October 7th."
- Defending his campaign strategy, El-Sayed told NBC News, "I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with and a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning to," citing Piker's 3 million listeners.
- Other prominent Democrats, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Sen. John Fetterman, have distanced themselves from the influencer, with strategist James Carville stating, "I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker."
- As El-Sayed faces former Rep. Mike Rogers in a tight Michigan Senate race, observers note that under the "Akin Rule," such associations can become significant political liabilities.
