Fetterman Issues Ultimatum To Dems: Israel, Or ‘Raging Anti-Semites’ Like Hasan Piker

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took aim this week at Twitch streamer and leftist darling Hasan Piker, labeling him a “raging antisemite” and demanding that the Democratic Party distance itself from the controversial influencer.

Fetterman’s comments come as Piker doubled down on a series of inflammatory statements regarding 9/11 and the terrorist organization Hamas. Speaking on the divide within his own party, Fetterman expressed disbelief that mainstream Democrats continue to platform a man who once claimed “America deserved 9/11, dude. F*** it, I’m saying it. … Like we totally brought it upon ourselves dude, holy s***. We did, we f***ing did.”

“I mean it’s … it’s crazy! I mean, my God,” Fetterman said, pointing to the glowing media profiles Piker has received from outlets like The New York Times. “He’s become such a raging antisemite that even the guy that has a Nazi tattoo bailed on doing an event with him. Democrats have to decide: whose side are you on? Are you proud to stand with that kind of individual or stand with Israel?”

The Senator’s remarks follow a viral appearance by Piker on the Pod Save America podcast, where host Jon Favreau confronted the streamer over his previous assertion that “Hamas is a thousand percent better than Israel.” Rather than walking back the comment, Piker doubled down, confirming he meant it “a thousand percent.”

Obama's former speechwriter, Jon Favreau, asks Democrat spokesperson Hasan Piker if he actually supports Hamas terrorists.

“I’m a lesser-evil voter, and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time,” Piker told Favreau. He went on to dismiss Hamas’ history of massacres, rapes, and kidnappings as “secondary” to the conversation, instead framing the terrorist group as a collection of “orphan children” fighting an “apartheid state.” Piker further escalated his rhetoric by comparing Zionism — the movement for Jewish self-determination — to Nazism, calling it an “exterminationist” ideology.

Fetterman, who has emerged as one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices in the Democratic Party since the October 7 massacre, slammed Piker for his callousness toward the victims of terrorism. “He doesn’t care about the rapes and calls Jews inbred,” Fetterman stated, highlighting the streamer’s history of “outlandish” and bigoted remarks.

Senator Fetterman just SHAMED members of his own party for supporting radical left-wing Islamist apologist Hasan Piker.

The Pennsylvania senator’s ultimatum serves as a direct challenge to the DNC and the “Squad” wing of the party, which has frequently aligned itself with the online activist class that Piker represents. As the radical left continues to excuse terrorist violence under the guise of “decolonization,” Fetterman’s message is clear: the Democratic Party cannot have it both ways. It must choose between the civilized world and the “raging” antisemitism of the far-left.
