Rep. Jamie Raskin was on NBC News' Meet the Press on Sunday, where host Kristen Welker asked him if there's enough room in the Democrats' "big tent" for Hasan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed's former BFF, who now refers to him as just "a streamer in California." Raskin, having gotten the memo, called it all "an irrelevant distraction" before declaring that "nobody supports Hamas." This was immediately after being shown a clip of Piker saying he'd "vote for Hamas over Israel every single time."
Jamie Raskin won't condemn Hasan Piker even after being shown a clip of Piker saying he would vote for terrorists "every single time."

NBC: “Is the Democratic Party tent big enough to include Hasan Piker?”

Holy shit. Has he ever met Rashida Tlaib?

Jamie Raskin defends Hamas Piker, claiming "nobody supports Hamas" after watching a clip of Piker saying he'd vote for Hamas.

Watching dems (especially Jewish dems) let this freak into their tent is like watching the political version of Grizzly Man.pic.twitter.com/l7d71bE2lf
In case you haven't seen Werner Herzog's documentary, the bears end up eating Grizzly Man.
@jamie_raskin continues to prove that his moral compass is broken and that he is a horrible judge of character.

@jamie_raskin it’s simply delusional to state that nobody supports Hamas. The entire DSA - for which Piker is a hero - supports Hamas. They were out celebrating “resistance” on October 8th. Disliking Bibi or Trump does not negate these facts.

"Nobody supports Hamas". Wow. Those words should tell you all you need to know about this lying POS

This is happening because sane Americans are leaving the Democrat Party and the only political energy they can muster is coming from hate-filled dullards with third world mentalities.

It's all about power...... and they don't care how they get there, just as long as they get there.

Raskin is totally clueless, as usual. POS

You can stuff all manner of clowns in that tent.

Jamie Raskin will do anything and everything to be in power. Big ego and low self-esteem -- terrible combination. I think that describes most of them. It's a serious pathology.

They will let the devil in, if he promised them endless support. Their value system is low.
— Nick🔎 (@NickProbes) September 7, 2026
That is all they care about, they just want support, to get the votes, to get the power. Truly sinister.
“Nobody supports Hamas” is a pretty bold defense immediately after watching a clip of the guy saying he’d vote for Hamas. 😂

Maybe argue context. Maybe argue what he meant. But pretending the words weren’t said is not a rebuttal.
Raskin could have simply said, No, there is no room in the tent for Piker. But he realizes the Democrats need every vote they can get, including from the Democratic Socialists and Hamas fanboys, so they can win the midterms and enact their single policy of impeaching President Trump.
