Abdul El-Sayed gets asked on Meet the Press if he will campaign with Hasan Piker and if he disavows Piker's "America deserved 9/11" comments "I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with, a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning to..we have this notion sometimes on shows like... this that we cannot or should not talk to certain groups of ppl..and I'll tell u that the 3 million ppl who listen to Hasan are ppl I want to make sure understand that there's a pathway into our politics" "Of course, it was a dumb statement..and of course, I think Hasan himself would say that..he disavowed it. So yes, America didn't deserve 9/11..but to sit here and play gotcha politics with a dumb thing somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves..I want to be held accountable for what I say and I what I do, rather than this idea that we're so stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea in 2020, but we seem to want to bring back" (Via Meet the Press on NBC)show more

I’m sick of people saying Hasan “disavowed” his comments…he never actually apologized, he blamed “English not being his first language” and his only regret is specifically for giving his political opponents an opportunity to "morally grandstand" on the issue..

How long is he gonna keep covering for this kind of rhetoric?

The Mamdani smokescreen approach. "Oh, I care about the people. Don't ask me about controversial things I've said and done."

You sure about that?

Ok Abdul I’ll bite, what is the context?

Hamas Diddy Piker retracting/disavowing a statement means nothing, if he said it he meant it. You have to come to the conclusion that after years of this behavior, when he records himself so confidently saying it, imagine what he says and does when he's not in front of a camera.

So, no, he does not disavow it.

Hasan hearing a politician he's campaigning for say that something Hasan said is stupid

So that’s not a disavowal, it’s a dodge.

"He disavowed it and then hung the newspaper from the day after on his wall to show how sorry he is." Cowards, the lot of them.

"I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with, a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning to." Tells me what I need to know

"I think Hasan himself would say that..he disavowed it" thats why he has the 9/11 article framed behind him right?

“Out of context” argument doesn’t work anymore. Especially when the statement, taken with complete context, reflected exactly how he believes

Whoever someone campaigns with and tolerates says a lot about you and what you value. If you campaign with someone like that then you are on some level accepting of his horrible behavior and comments. This is a cop out and a reasonable person could see that.

He disavowed the statement doesn't much he hung up and framed the newspaper the day after it happened :) Remember every single terrorist attack IN the US he calls a false flag or hand waves every single one. Run defence for him but it shows that you support him because of it.

Abdul El Sayed and Hasan hates America so ya he will not throw Hasan under the bus they have the same goal import Muslims so they can change the demographic of America

hasan disavowed the wording, not the sentiment. Acting like he truly regrets what he said is disingenuous.

The 3 million third worlders and bots lmao. Great audience

Naw dude, the way he replied, saying that what Hassan said was stupid, he does think it was stupid to say it out loud, but I bet he still agrees with that statement behind that smirk

Not out of context. These people will lie until you are dead.

A good answer, but would he apply the same logic to republicans who associate with Nazis. They do not make the statements, but we are right to criticise them for associating with those who did. He is simply papering over the cracks, he must distance himself from Hasan.

This page has come to post the lefts w’s. Great turn of events

Where and when TF did he disavow that statement when he went and FRAMED THE NEWSPAPER AND HUNG IT UP LIKE A TROPHY!!

Lol "out of context" I dont think hes seen the clip.

"stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea in 2020" - yet the dipshit you won't just degrade and insult does so still to this very day? Interesting. So then, why doesn't he judge Palpatine Piker for doing what he doesn't do then? Oh, right - no standards. 🤡

>Of course, it was a dumb statement..and of course, I think Hasan himself would say that..he disavowed it. So yes, America didn't deserve 9/11 TAQIYYAH IN ACTION

Hes 100% right tbh

Well.. Solid "A" on question dodging. He'll make a great politician (with our current media). Imagine if Trump tried this. We'd have a hairspray mess of an anchor woman on full stutter.

Nice dodge there, bucko.

What would you expect from lying Ted.

This man should be ineligible to be a nominee for that position.

Are the 3 million people who listen to hasan in the room with us?

Use and tossed out like a used hooker 🤣🤣🤣 hos own buddy left him out to dry 🤣🤣

Ngl that is a pretty good response
