America is Worse Than al-Qaeda [WATCH]

Radical communist influencer Hasan Piker is doubling down on his attacks against the United States while remaining closely associated in the source with Michigan Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Piker is described as one of El-Sayed’s main cheerleaders, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In a new Axios interview, Piker claimed that America, measured “pound for pound,” conducts more terror around the world than al-Qaeda.

Gold. Upgraded. Buy real gold from $1. Store it in America. Sell it with one click.

The broadside adds fresh scrutiny to El-Sayed, who has repeatedly faced demands to reject Piker’s comments.

Axios National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson confronted Piker with an earlier statement. Thompson asked, “You once said that America is the top dog in terrorism .”

Thompson then made the comparison explicit, asking, “Do you think America then is worse than al-Qaeda?” Piker did not retreat from the premise.

“Pound for pound, as far as the number of deaths, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world,” Piker responded.

His answer squarely placed America above al-Qaeda under the terms Thompson presented.

Piker continued, “I think that that is not only terror that we are waging on regular civilians in nations in the periphery, but it’s also having consequences on ourselves. It’s, it’s having dramatic consequences on the home front.”

Piker offered Minab as his example: “One, one clear example of this is what we did in Minab, right? There’s no distinction between blowing up a school, triple tapping it with Tomahawk missiles.”

He continued, “If you’re killing 140 schoolgirls, that is an act of terror. This doesn’t mean that all Americans are terrorists, but the reality of the matter is we have to create an environment of accountability to ensure things like that never happen again.”

The dispute follows Piker’s earlier assertion that “America deserved 9/11.”

El-Sayed has repeatedly been asked to disavow that remark, but the source says he defended the comment as taken “out of context” while citing “gocha politics” and “cancel culture” during the controversy.

El-Sayed answered, “Of course. Of course, it was a dumb statement, and of course, I think Hassan himself would say that was a dumb statement.”

He continued, “He disavowed it. So yes, America didn’t deserve 9/11, but you know, to sit here and play gotcha politics with dumb things somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves to say, ‘Oh well, what does that mean about what you think?’”

El-Sayed’s opponent, Michigan GOP Senatorial Candidate Mike Rogers, spoke at the Republican National Committee’s first midterm convention.

Rogers said El-Sayed had raised money from Islamic terror organizations, according to the source.

White House advisor Stephen Miller also attacked El-Sayed’s association with Piker and his fundraising.

Miller said, “The Democrat Party has embraced the platform of individuals who fundamentally hate America and hate Americans.”

Miller continued, “Abdul El Sayed in Michigan campaigned with, sought the endorsement of, and promoted, along with Bernie Sanders, a man named Hasan Piker who is the new consultant and strategist for the Democrat Party. He is the man they are leaning on to choose for their policies…”

Miller then returned to Piker’s earlier statement.

“Hasan Piker said that American and Americans deserve 9/11.”

“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation! 25 years after 9/11 and you have Democrats preaching hatred for America,” Miller said.

“The Democrat Party fundamentally has sided with the jihadists in the war on terror. That’s where we are right now,” Miller told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
