Third Way Calls on Dr. Abdul El-Sayed To Say If He Aligns With Hasan Piker's Anti-American and Antisemitic Views
Third Way
Amid a surge antisemitism, Third Way called on Democrats to confront extremist, antisemitic voices on the left, naming specifically Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. In a column in the Wall Street Journal, Third Way outlined Piker's long record of antisemitic and bigoted statements, including that "America deserved 9/11," that "there's a lot we can learn" from the Chinese Communist Party, and calling ultra-Orthodox Jews "inbred."
Upon news that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan, is planning to host two rallies with the extremist streamer on April 7, 2026, Third Way President Jonathan Cowan wrote to El-Sayed to warn him about associating with Piker and ask him to tell Michigan voters how closely he aligns with Piker's abominable views.
