Top Harris aide hypes radical activist who said ‘America deserved 9/11’ while plotting future for Dems

A top aide on Vice President Harris’ failed presidential campaign recently called for more cultural voices like the vocal anti-America and anti-Israel Twitch star, Hasan Piker, who previously faced backlash for saying that ‘America deserved 9/11.’

Harris’ former deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, said during a recent interview that Democrats are ‘losing hold of culture’ and laid out a strategy for them to develop a ‘whole thriving system’ ahead of future elections.

‘We need a whole thriving ecosystem,’ Flaherty told Semafor. ‘It’s not just Pod Save America, though I think we should have more of them. It’s not just Hasan Piker. We should have more Hasan Pikers. It’s also the cultural creators, the folks who are one rung out who influence the nonpartisan audience. Those things all need to happen together.’

‘The reality is it’s not going to be big media organizations. It’s going to be a network and a constellation of individual personalities, because that’s how people get their information now,’ he added.

Flaherty, who previously served as the director of digital strategy for the Biden White House, is likely to face backlash for calling for ‘more Hasan Pikers’ due to Piker’s past controversial comments. Piker, who previously raised more than $1 million for Palestinian aid, has used his platform with millions of followers to downplay and justify terrorist attacks such as Oct. 7 and 9/11 as acts of resistance in recent years.

During a 2019 livestream, Piker praised the ‘brave f—ing soldier’ who wounded conservative U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, while he was deployed to Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, asking, ‘Didn’t he go to war and, like, literally lose his eye because some mujahideen, a brave f—ing soldier, f—ed his eyehole with their d—?’

He went on to say that ‘America deserved 9/11, I’m saying it,’ before later walking it back and saying it was ‘inappropriate.’ However, in another stream this year, Piker joked about 9/11 again, saying, ‘Oh my god, 9/11 2 is going to be so sick’ and ‘give Saudi Arabia a nuke so they can do 9/11 2.’

In another stream, Piker broadcast propaganda from the Houthis, an Iranian-backed group in Yemen that has been designated by the U.S. as a terrorist group. Instead of explicitly addressing the materials as questionable propaganda, the streamer instead expressed sympathy and admiration for the group.

‘They do musicals about, like, their f—ing actions all the time,’ Piker said of the terrorist propaganda. ‘They love walking over like the American flag and the Israeli flag, side by side.’

‘They do not care about the heavy missiles … they will literally take the war to them no matter what. … For them, it’s an act of resistance. You know what I mean?’ he added.

‘It doesn’t matter if f—ing rapes happened on Oct. 7,‘ Piker said in a May 22 stream. ‘It doesn’t change the dynamic [of Palestinians and Israelis] for me.’

During an April 18 stream, Piker also expressed that Hamas was the ‘lesser evil’ next to the Israeli military.

While Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and others have been on Piker’s platform, Dem Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York wrote a letter this year to top executives at Twitch and Amazon expressing ‘alarm about the amplification of antisemitism on Twitch at the hands of Hasan Piker’ and said Piker has ’emerged as the poster child for the post-October 7th outbreak of antisemitism in America.’

‘Outside the context of October 7th, Mr. Piker has even joked and mused about men date-raping women on a college campus and has posted an image of a handgun on top of a United States Senator in what appears to be open invitation to gun violence against a sitting elected official,’ Torres said. ‘Inviting one’s followers to shoot an elected official, whether it be done in earnest or in jest, is the kind of threat that warrants serious attention from federal law enforcement.’

Piker’s Twitch streams regularly hit more than a million views and often have as many as 30,000 viewers at a given time.  

Fox News Digital reached out to Flaherty for comment but did not receive a response.
