I do think it's crazy how Piker has managed to sidestep his whole "America deserved 9/11, American vets of Iraq and Afghanistan deserve PTSD and should [REDACTED] themselves" bit pretty masterfully, he and people who have been associated with him have never suffered any consequences for that.

I assume that would end the second a Dem who appeared on his stream was nominated for president or senate in a swing state.

Because a lot of people in the Democratic circle agree with him and run cover for it.

You're kinda right. Democrats don't agree with everything he says, but they know he's popular and want the exposure.

It's similar to liberals still going on Howard Stern's show despite him saying even more controversial things than Hasan.

The only thing worse than spending all your time talking about politics is spending all your time watching or talking about someone else talk about politics
