NEW: Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is finally defending streamer Hasan Piker, rejecting a “massive effort to cancel Hasan” and arguing that critics are deliberately distorting his views. “They’re trying to equate him and David Duke and him and Nick Fuentes,” El-Sayed said. “The fact that they’re working...

WATCH: NBC's Kresten Welker runs crisis comms for Abdul El-Sayed, suggests the Senate Republicans should pull their ads that quote him in his own words KRISTEN WELKER: All right. Let's talk about another state that you raised, another big state, Michigan, the face-off between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, and former congressman Mike Rogers. The NRSC continues to put out social media posts claiming that Abdul El-Sayed has un/unquote terrorist ties. And yet, there is no evidence that he has terrorist ties, senator. Should the NRSC stop running those ads? TIM SCOTT: Well, we know- we know without question that he had family members who helped resource Osama bin Laden. We know without question that he campaigns with Piker, who said at one point that America deserved 9/11. We know that… WELKER: Let's stay focused on El-Sayed, though. Let’s stay focused on El-Sayed and what he has said and believes in. There's no evidence -- SCOTT: Listen. Birds of a feather flock together. Birds of a feather flock together. You gotta…the company you keep does matter. We all know that. That's something we learn in elementary school. Well, let's go to where he stands on the issues, though. There's a reason why even former Biden administration folks are joining with Republicans and hosting fund-raisers throughout Michigan to support Mike Rogers. Here's one of the reasons why. We've got a candidate in Abdul El-Sayed that wants to abolish ICE. He wants to defund the police. Here's a candidate that's so radical that even Democrats in Michigan are joining forces, for the first time, with Republicans to elect Mike Rogers. WELKER: Just to be very clear, there is no evidence that El-Sayed supports any terrorist organization. I just want to read this. A Washington Post analysis online found that, quote, “nearly one in three posts about El-Sayed from right-wing figures mentioned Islam, muslims, or sharia.” Are Republicans trying to scare voters based on the fact that El-Sayed would be the first Muslim senator? SCOTT: Not at all. What we're more concerned about and only concerned about is the positions he has spoken about. He's the one that said that he was committed to sharia law. No one else said that besides Abdul El-Sayed. He's the one that said he wanted to eliminate much of the national security apparatus that protects America at the same time he campaigns with Piker, who says America deserved 9/11. When you add it all up, you’ve gotta believe- WELKER: And we should say El-Sayed did denounce that on this program. El-Sayed did denounce those comments on this program. SCOTT: And he continues- and he continues to campaign with him anyways. You can’t denounce it with your words and do something different with your actions. We believe what you do, not just what you say.

WATCH: Bernie Sanders, speaking out of both sides against his mouth, says he's uncomfortable with Abdul El-Sayed's closeness to Hasan Piker given his statement that America deserved 9/11. Bernie dismisses as a "dumb statement" inevitable in a lengthy stream and calls for getting above cancel culture. Bernie says if James Carville doesn't like the party of Piker, El-Sayed and Sanders, he can "start his own party." AIPAC, AI, "we need a big tent" and "people like Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly." ABBY PHILLIP: Let me ask you about one of those campaign events, because just last night, um, the popular but very controversial streamer Hasan Piker was at one of El-Sayed's final events. The two did a stream together, a fairly lengthy stream. I know that you've spoken to Hasan Piker in the past, but are you comfortable with El-Sayed having a close association with him, given some of his past statements? To give you an example, one of the more controversial ones is that Piker has said America deserved 9/11. Are you comfortable with that association? BERNIE SANDERS: No, I am not. I think that's a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers and there's a lot of things that he's saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think, you know, we have to get above cancel culture. You know, when you're doing radio, whatever they do- podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be 1 or 2 things that you said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from. Uh, and go forward. PHILLIP: So when someone like James Carville says he doesn't want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker, which one are you going to take? SANDERS: Well, that's not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn't want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party. But, uh, you know, look. What we are doing now is, you know, you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe have committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that? Do you want to be in a party which has not stood up to the AI industry, because they got a lot of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick, you know, you could pick whatever you want to pick. But I think we need a big tent and I think people like Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly.
