Speaking on the divide within his own party, Fetterman expressed disbelief that mainstream Democrats continue to platform a man who once <a href=\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/streaming\/news\/streamer-hasan-says-america-deserved-9-11?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> \u201cAmerica deserved 9\/11, dude.

I mean, my God,\u201d Fetterman said, pointing to the glowing media profiles Piker has received from outlets like <em data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"137\">The New York Times<\/em>. \u201cHe\u2019s become such a raging antisemite that even the guy that has a Nazi tattoo bailed on doing an event with him.

Are you proud to stand with that kind of individual or stand with Israel?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\" data-path-to-node=\"4\">The Senator\u2019s remarks follow a viral appearance by Piker on the\u00a0<em data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"64\">Pod Save America<\/em>\u00a0podcast, where host Jon Favreau confronted the streamer over his previous assertion that \u201cHamas is a thousand percent better than Israel.\u201d Rather than walking back the comment, Piker doubled down, confirming he meant it \u201ca thousand percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Obama&#8217;s former speechwriter, Jon Favreau, asks Democrat spokesperson Hasan Piker if he actually supports Hamas terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>FAVREAU: &#8220;When you say Hamas is a thousand times better, do you actually mean that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PIKER: &#8220;I do mean it.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xtodMQaXDu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/xtodMQaXDu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/2043735622234345519?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\" data-path-to-node=\"5\">\u201cI\u2019m a lesser-evil voter, and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time,\u201d Piker told Favreau.

As the radical left continues to excuse terrorist violence under the guise of \u201cdecolonization,\u201d Fetterman\u2019s message is clear: the Democratic Party cannot have it both ways. It must choose between the civilized world and the \u201craging\u201d antisemitism of the far-left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fetterman-issues-ultimatum-to-dems-israel-or-raging-anti-semites-like-hasan-piker\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took aim this week at Twitch streamer and leftist darling Hasan Piker, labeling him a \u201craging antisemite\u201d and demanding that the Democratic&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/51575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
