WATCH: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed melts down after Weijia Jiang's second pass at a Hasan Piker question, claiming it is the third. El-Sayed subsequently name-drops Piker into his response to a question about working with Republicans. WEIJIA JIANG: Well, there are Jewish voters in your state who are concerned about... your relationship with Piker. You have condemned antisemitism but not called out his rhetoric directly. Why not? ABDUL EL-SAYED: Weijia, with all due respect this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer in California. I've done four events in Michigan this week. You know what didn't come up? Twitch streamers in California. You know what did come up? Grocery prices. The fact that people can't see a doctor. The worry that they have about the quality of air and water. I'm not interested in having a conversation with streamers in California because they are not raising the prices of gas and groceries. I'm more interested in having a conversation about tariff policies and trade wars we shouldn't be fighting, about hot wars with Iran, about AI which I know we were supposed to talk about right now. So let's actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about. Their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact that the president has made $2.2 billion. His family has made even more. How about your family in Michigan? How about your ability to afford the basic things? How about the ability to believe you could see a doctor without having to potentially fall into medical debt? Those are the conversations that people are having. Those are the conversations I'm interested in having. So yeah, I'm not all that interested in having a conversation about a Twitch streamer, forgive me, when people can't afford their gas and their groceries. JIANG: Understood, Doctor. But Republicans have made it a big attack on you, so I wanted to give you the chance to clarify.show more

@AbdulElSayed @weijia A long answer to say absolutely nothing.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia If Hassan Piker is just a "twitch streamer" why did @AbdulElSayed seek his company and endorsement publicly? Seems like the next logical question to ask but legacy media is pathetically incompetent and uninterested in doing their jobs.

@MaxNordau @AbdulElSayed @weijia Notice how ElSayed uses 300 words to say nothing at all. Not a single redirection into policy.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Abdul— this 🤡 begged Hasan Piker to campaign heavily with him— >>> HASAN ON HIS PODCAST SAYS THEY STILL TALK ALMOST DAILY <<< But now Hasan’s just a “Streamer from CA”? 🙄🤨 🚫 Abdul El-Sayed the **LIAR** 😒 Always distracting voters from his radical ideology & policies 👎

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Not seeing the meltdown in this clip. I see a calm answer.

@theMRC @AbdulElSayed @weijia Also, he’s not a doctor.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Kinda baffled why she calls him Doctor

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Interesting perspective

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Everyone should ask him that question every single day and twice on Sunday now that we know it bothers him so much. FAFO

@AbdulElSayed @weijia People are willing to even entertain this craziness of a canadate! What is going on America! WAKE UP

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Why is she calling him Doctor? He's not licensed to do anything.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia So did Weijia list the DEMS who have come out AGAINST Piker? Did I hear her right when she only said Repubs are talking about him?

@AbdulElSayed @weijia It’s the opposite of a meltdown. He conducted himself coolly and professionally in the face of a ridiculous hack job.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia

@CurtisHouck @AbdulElSayed @weijia He just sticks to the script he was given by his handlers. Every single interview, never goes off script, if the questions get a little uncomfortable, he just circles back to the script.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia When he pretends he doesn't know Piker's name he gives the game away

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Nonanswer.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia He is graduate of the Jill biden school of doctors.

@AbdulElSayed @weijia

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Softball Marg right now

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Deflection!

@AbdulElSayed @weijia He who must not be named (Piker) is haunting the El-Sayed candidacy because El-Sayed is trying to not renounce Piker’s anti-Americanism, hatred of Jewish people, and terrorist sympathies but make it seem like he has no relationship with that scum (Piker). It ain’t working.

@MaxNordau @AbdulElSayed @weijia Who else has made money on their 401k?

@AbdulElSayed @weijia Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed isn't interested in answering questions about a California twitch streamer, but for some odd reason he saw the need to campaign with one.
