Here’s a bit of appalling footage showing just who the Democratic Party is choosing to associate with in 2026.
The Michigan Senate race sees Republican candidate Mike Rogers taking on Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the latter of whom has garnered attention for a myriad of reasons, his association with popular leftist internet personality Hasan Piker among them.
For those unfamiliar with Piker, he’s a millionaire Marxist nepo-baby who gained notoriety through working for his uncle, Cenk Uygur of left-wing media outlet The Young Turks.
Piker is not the most discerning, articulate, cunning, or even presentable figure. When watching him, the viewer is truly baffled as to how he made it this far.
He’s an unremarkable dolt who lacks the self-awareness to realize the systems he denounces are responsible for the many freedoms he enjoys. The right could not fictionalize a more insultingly stupid individual to mock their opposition.
Piker stays relevant by the company he keeps — such as El-Sayed — while also making totally outrageous statements amid streaming from his multimillion-dollar home.
Take one of his old streams, for example.
……. the footage is extremely vulgar in the language he uses.
……..On the issue of constitutionality, Piker told his viewers, “you can fuck and suck me from the back, ok?”
“I fuck the Constitution. I wipe my ass with the Constitution. It’s a fucking piece of paper, dude.”
It only gets worse as Piker went further.
“Motherfuck the Constitution and motherfuck this country.”
The footage was posted to social media platform X in response to a Rolling Stone article Monday where the outlet asked “Why is Everyone Scared of Hasan Piker?”
………Aside from maybe the Magna Carta, we are talking about the greatest document in political history.
Look how far the Democrats have fallen.
He’s a Turk who was raised muzzie but claims to be atheist/agnostic.
He’s also the nephew of unhinged leftwingnut Cenk Uygur. Shitbaggery runs in the family.
He calls for political assassinations and terrorism.
Dems don’t condemn this shit, they defend it.
The commie shitbag doesn’t live up to his rhetoric and his wealth runs contrary to his ‘eat the rich’ propaganda.
The son of a high-ranking executive at one of Turkey’s largest conglomerates, he has amassed an estimated $8 million fortune. He owns a multi-million-dollar West Hollywood house, earning a six-figure monthly streaming income. Meanwhile, he lectures Americans about the evils of capitalism and the rich.
Hasan Doğan Piker was born on July 25, 1991, in New Brunswick, N.J., to Turkish parents. Many online biographies say Piker “grew up in Istanbul,” but Piker described spending part of his childhood in the Turkish capital of Ankara. In 2018, Piker posted a picture of himself in his high school years, riding a show horse.
His father, Mehmet Behçet Piker, spent 24 years working at Sabancı Holding, rising to the board of directors and position of vice president. Sabancı Holding is one of Turkey’s largest business conglomerates, with a net asset value of $10.5 billion in 2024. Piker’s father was also a founding member of the Future Party in Turkey, formed in 2019.
Piker disputes the notion that he grew up wealthy and privileged; in November 2025, Piker claimed that his father “went broke by the time I got to college, and I was broke for the first decade after college.” Apparently it was the kind of “broke” that could afford a Equinox gym membership in 2013, which cost $133 to $142 a month with a separate $175 initiation fee; Piker likely means “broke” as a synonym for “not earning as much money as I would like.”
Hasan Piker’s uncle is Cenk Uygur, a leftist commentator and co-founder of The Young Turks, a progressive news organization. Hasan joined as an intern in 2013; in a later interview, Piker described himself as a “nepo baby,” a term for a beneficiary of nepotism. Within three years, he pitched his uncle’s organization on the idea of his hosting his own show, The Breakdown. For several years, Piker created videos discussing topics such as how Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum “DESTROYED” his Republican opponent, Ron DeSantis. (You may have noticed that Governor DeSantis, reelected with almost 60 percent of the vote, was not destroyed.)
By 2018, Piker was posing with Playboy bunnies at a Playboy party thrown by Cooper Hefner, the heir to the magazine’s fortune, for the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. (Mind you, Piker boasts that he is a feminist; in 2021, he said during his program, “I’ve gone to a brothel, Artemis, in Berlin, and had sex with the workers there.”)
During Trump’s first term, Piker gained a wider audience from having clubby interviews with some of the most progressive elected officials in the Democratic Party. In October 2020, Piker held a virtual voting initiative with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, where they played the video game Among Us. The following month, Piker was the subject of a glowing New York Times profile written by . . . Taylor Lorenz. (By November 2025, Lorenz would be quoted in profiles of Piker as “a friend of Piker’s.”)
A 2021 data breach of Twitch’s finances revealed that Piker had been paid a bit more than $2.8 million since 2019, or roughly $1 million per year.
That same year, Piker purchased a 3,800-square-foot home with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms located in the Beverly Grove neighborhood of West Hollywood, Los Angeles, for $2.74 million. In 2022, Piker purchased a $200,000 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
(Piker graduated Rutgers in 2013 and described himself as “broke for the first decade after college.” That would be until 2023.)
Estimating an individual’s net worth is tricky; even the limited disclosure of Piker’s Twitch earnings and home price don’t give a full picture of his income, assets, liabilities, or debts. But for what it’s worth, some websites have calculated Piker’s net worth at $8 million; one site did back-of-the-envelope math of his known subscribers and estimated revenue per subscriber, and calculated he made about $217,000 per month. Other estimates put his monthly streaming earnings in a range from $127,000 to $173,000 per month.
………Piker doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but he articulates the raging id of the hard left, demonizes wealthy people while raking it in and driving his Porsche around West Hollywood, excuses away the world’s worst Islamist terrorists, including the al-Qaeda terrorists who committed 9/11 while insisting that Israeli victims of the Hamas attacks are describing their rape fantasies.
No doubt, many Democratic presidential candidates will court him for his endorsement between now and the 2028 primaries.
