Michigan’s leftist Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed flatly stated he would refuse to condemn his incendiary, vile supporter Hasan Piker for any remarks he has made.

Newly circulated video footage shows a chill El-Sayed kicking back in a vehicle right next to Piker, defending his refusal to disavow the America-hating Marxist influencer.

“Like, you know, at the end of the day, people play this game with us all the time, right? I’m sure you’ve gotten it somewhere, I got it. Like, well, here’s this one thing that Hasan said, do you now condemn him in everything he stands for? And I’m like, in what f*cking world does the world work this way?” El-Sayed fumed in an April livestream. “Like, in what world would you condemn somebody for something that they’ve said if you’re serious about the project of actually persuading somebody?”

While legacy media buy into the candidate’s phony damage-control routine, Piker himself exposed the whole farce on his stream. The shock-jock who previously claimed “America deserved 9/11,” praised Hamas, and recently warned that pro-Israel Jews would cause someone to “take action” against them reassured his fans that El-Sayed isn’t moderating his political stances.

Piker gleefully pulled back the curtain, appearing to characterize El-Sayed’s public statements as pure theater to trick moderate voters while keeping his leftist base.

“It’s smart,” Piker gloated to his millions of followers, bragging that he’s being “dangled” as political bait.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) torched Piker’s incendiary comments as “dangerous and antisemitic,” while Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) blasted the streamer as a “hack who thrives on hate.” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) publicly urged the socialist candidate to ditch the radical streamer.

On “Meet the Press,” El-Sayed brushed off Piker’s infamous 9/11 comments as just a “dumb statement” and complained about “cancel culture.” When pressed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on whether he would renounce Piker following warnings from Fetterman, El-Sayed doubled down, insisting he was focused on reaching Piker’s millions of followers.

Republicans aren’t buying the act for a second.

GOP Senate opponent Mike Rogers didn’t hold back, calling El-Sayed’s tap-dancing routine “the epitome of what a conman does.”

Meanwhile, RNC spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre branded the candidate a “terrorist sympathizer” whose refusal to cut ties with “Hamas-hugging radicals” proves his true allegiance isn’t to the United States.

With some Michigan Democrats already openly admitting they plan to cross party lines and vote Republican in November, El-Sayed’s refusal to denounce Piker for his despicable remarks could prove truly damaging.
