Raskin calls Piker’s rhetoric ‘irrelevant distraction’ after the streamer said he’d vote for Hamas over Israel

Comments

1. Leoboone: You'd think being from Michigan would mean he knows better than to endorse terrorism
2. Sana: it's telling that Raskin is more concerned with Piker's words than the actual issue at hand. what exactly does 'irrelevant distraction' mean in this context?
3. Junepetrov: Abdul El-Sayed's reluctance to distance himself from this rhetoric is surprising given his background in public health. What I want to know is how this situation will affect his message
4. Crimson Jackal: can't believe these politicians still don't get what's happening online - it's been months since Piker went on one of his tirades and yet no one in this space is
5. Marek Suzuki: what's your point on trying to guilt trip him over this?
6. Adeyeminoel: this line from piker sounds almost laughable coming from a politician trying to keep his base calm
7. Pale Kite: I've been tuning out the whole Piker thing, but Raskin's response feels really calculated to me - playing the "irrelevant distraction" card is pretty standard fare for
8. Luna: I don't see what's so distracting about Piker's words. As long as he's not advocating for violence against Jews or Israel citizens, I think people are being way too
9. Crimson Comet: Seems like a convenient deflection for Raskin to call this an "irrelevant distraction" rather than addressing Piker's claim directly
10. Ariagrant: it's a lot to ask someone who hasn't even voted before to dictate their allegiances overseas though. can you really fault him for being honest?
11. Leo: what's next, asking for an endorsement from Gaddafi? this is not about taking sides, it's about basic human decency
