Abdul El-Sayed is drawing some flack due to his campaign buddy Hassan Piker threatening people on his behalf, in addition to Hassan's love of communism; hatred and threats against Jews and Israel; being fine with rape as long as it is for the cause,; advocating killing capitalists (while he himself is a millionaire nepo-baby); hating white people; and saying America deserved 9/11.
The Hill: El-Sayed weighs in on Piker controversy: ‘Nobody speaks for this campaign besides me’
“But I want to be crystal clear, nobody speaks for this campaign besides me and my campaign spokespeople,” he added.
Nice try Abdul, but you were constantly on the same podium and have been arm-in-arm with Hassan Piker throughout your campaign. Hassan Piker has campaigned and he continues to campaign on your behalf and you certainly haven't told him to stop.
As indeed are others with similar extremist and anti-American views you hang around with on the regular.
Hassan Piker is a spokesperson for your campaign. He's a spokesperson for you to the Islamists and radical leftists and progressives out there, but he is turning off the moderate Democrats whose votes you need. Can't have that, so now you're going to play the age-old game of "Hassan doesn't speak for me " even as he continues to speak for you to your more radical and hard-core supporters.
This is the typical game of saying one thing on a subject to a credulous western audience, and saying the more radical and contradictory thing on the same subject to core supporters - or having alter-egos like Hassan Piker say them for you, and it isn't going to work for most people.
Except, of course, it will work and provide cover for the credulous fools and kapos looking for an excuse to justify supporting you, more's the pity.
