Rahm Emanuel Demands Democrats Stop Hedging On Hasan Piker’s Antisemitism
Emanuel said Democrats should challenge Piker directly and warned the party is discrediting itself if it cannot unanimously condemn his remarks.
- On Monday, Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told CNN that Democrats must confront Twitch streamer Hasan Piker over antisemitic remarks, arguing the party should address his rhetoric directly rather than ignore it.
- The criticism follows Piker's recent claim that American Jews who support Israel invite violence against themselves, prompting Emanuel to offer appearing on Piker's show to "give the antisemitic streamer a lesson."
- Emanuel also cited Piker's past assertion that America "deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, warning that segregating antisemitism as "political or partisan" allows it a pass while FBI data shows Jews are the most-targeted group for hate crimes.
- Piker's influence has become a flashpoint in the Michigan Senate race, as Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed distances his campaign from the streamer; Emanuel told Fox News Sunday that the Democratic Socialists is not part of the Democratic Party.
- Alluding to the 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Emanuel argued that Democrats must condemn antisemitism regardless of source, stressing that silence undermines the party's credibility when it condemns similar rhetoric from the right.
