NRSC Video Montage ENDS Abdul El-Sayed's Attempt to Distance Himself From 'a Twitch Streamer in CA'

With the election just a few weeks away, Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been busy trying to distance himself from Hasan Piker, who has said that America deserved 9/11 and claimed the U.S. is worse than Al-Qaeda. 

El-Sayed brought in Piker to campaign with him during the primary, but now that he's a liability during the general, Abdul's pal is now dismissed as "a Twitch streamer in California":

“With all due respect, this is the third time you’ve asked about a Twitch streamer from California.”

It becomes more newsworthy every week that goes by that Abdul refuses to distance himself from Piker and his radicalism - especially when it leads to exchanges like this. https://t.co/3L2rQ0tDts

Even lefty phone bankers are getting tired of being asked about El-Sayed's radical buddy (and of course they're blaming that on Republicans). 

A new ad from the NRSC puts an end to any claims that El-Sayed and Piker are mere acquaintances who otherwise have nothing in common. 

As Abdul El-Sayed continues to try to distances himself from Hasan Piker, whom he calls a "California social media streamer", Senate Republicans drop a new ad showing El-Sayed & Piker dapping eachother up, hitting the gym together, streaming together, & attending events together. https://t.co/8jAqX0M3kJ

These two are joined at the hip and will be again after the election if El-Sayed gets elected to the Senate: 

They campaign together. They stream together. They want to destroy America together.

A "Twitch streamer from California" and the radical leftist Senate candidate from Michigan are pretty much one and the same, which is why El-Sayed won't disavow Piker. 

but he's just a "twitch streamer in california" https://t.co/bpMooiNypc

We certainly haven't heard the last of that ridiculous and easily disproven attempt from El-Sayed to distance himself from Piker.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress. That includes keeping the radical El-Sayed out of the Senate.
