Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Communist influencer Hasan Piker recently spoke about Texas Democrat James Talarico in an almost dismissive way, strongly suggesting that the radical left owns him, saying that if Talarico wins, they will have to remind him that they ‘allowed’ him to win the seat.

If Piker is talking this way about Talarico, just imagine what he thinks about Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Piker campaigned with him extensively.

This is a stunning moment captured on video. Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

Watch:

Hasan Piker says he'll make sure James Talarico follows his far-Left agenda if he becomes a Senator:

"After James Talarico wins…we have to remind him that…we are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power, and if he wants to maintain it he’s got to play ball.” pic.twitter.com/NjZu6n8LJ5

Republicans are wondering if Talarico will ever get around to condemning Piker.

From the NRSC:

Ahead of his scheduled visit to Austin to speak with Texas Democrats, Hasan Piker said that America “is the top dog in terrorism,” and worse than Al-Qaeda.

Hasan Piker has repeatedly praised James Talarico’s radical agenda saying, “he is copying me.”

Talarico has remained silent on Piker’s trip to Texas, as well as his previous abhorrent comments saying that “America deserved 9/11” and that American Jews will be targeted for supporting Israel… will James finally condemn Piker now and demand he cancel his trip to Texas?

“James Talarico is refusing to condemn Hasan Piker because they champion the same socialist, anti-American agenda that is taking over the Democrat party,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell.

Why would Talarico condemn Piker?

Apparently, Piker owns him.
