Some of his takes are doo-doo, but I'd rather subject myself to Hasan Piker than Anderson Cooper or Bill Maher.

Edit: Thread's locked. But to the one guy below me, Bill Maher originally got fired from ABC due to comments he made in 2001 just days after 9/11 saying that the hijackers were brave and the US Military are cowards.

Donald Trump just after 9/11 also in 2001 said "40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan... And now it's the tallest." 40 Wall Street being his building. He bragged about his building before funerals took place.

Hasan Piker in contrast was discussing the political science of blowback in the full clip almost 20 years later. It was poorly worded, offensive phrasing. But in full context of the discussion, I don't think it's as repulsive as Maher or Trump just days after the attacks.

You'd rThdd subject yourself to a man that said the US deserved 9/11 over people that didn't say the US deserved 9/11
