'Cheerleading for terrorism': Twitch star called for new 9/11, dismissed horror of Oct 7
FIRST ON FOX: A popular Amazon-owned video platform geared toward teenagers and young adults is filled with extremist content, including one of its biggest stars praising terrorist groups and even blithely calling for another 9/11 to his 2.8 million strong audience, according to a Fox News Digital review.
Hasan Piker, who has millions of followers on Twitch, has broadcast propaganda from Yemen's Houthis, framed violent terrorist acts as "resistance," expressed sympathy for extremist groups who target civilians and downplayed the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks against Jews in Israel. Piker's shocking diatribes are among the most popular on the video game-streaming platform, which allows viewers to listen to their favorite personalities opine on topics ranging from pop culture to current events while playing video games.
"It doesn't matter if f---ing r*pes happened on October 7," Piker said in a May 22 stream. "It doesn't change the dynamic [of Palestinians and Israelis] for me."
Piker, a 33-year-old Turkish American commentator who lives in California and grew up in Istanbul, is a former producer for the far-left internet commentary program, "The Young Turks," and is the nephew of its co-creator, Cenk Uygur. His Twitch streams regularly hit over a million views and often have as many as 30,000 viewers at a given time.

I'm assuming those are the national stations, but IDK and I don't care to look into it. Just think about how comparatively young and full of life you are compared to the other viewers!

I'm still hoping for an actual physical assault from a leftist for him not being sufficiently leftist enough.
Him getting scolded for drinking (genocide flavored) Coke by his audience was a little funny. But I want someone to throw a punch.
