Abdul El-Sayed must be in trouble. He’s hiring people to smooth over relations with Jewish voters. He needs black votes to not hate him, but Hasan Piker, a supporter of his and a top streamer, is becoming a thorn in his side, and the prepackaged line for the media when asked about him isn’t working. Piker is a top leftist streamer, and a supporter of El-Sayed.

Yet, with the margins so volatile right now, and El-Sayed being on shakier political ground with black voters, Jewish voters, and some Haley Stevens people, his former primary opponent, the man must be moderate.
And Piker just nuked that, saying that it’s perfectly valid to ask a candidate he supports if he or she agrees with what he says on his shows. El-Sayed wanted distance from Piker, and he just nuked it from orbit:
NEW: Abdul El-Sayed STILL refuses to disavow Hasan Piker!
Abdul keeps walking when asked to disavow Hasan Piker’s comments about American Jews.
“Abdul, do you disavow Hasan Piker’s comments on American Jews and your fellow Democratic candidates for Michigan?”

Abdul on Hasan Piker. “Here’s this one thing that Hasan said. Do you now condemn him and everything he stands for? And I’m like, in what f*cking world does the world work this way?”
