It criticizes the party&#8217;s tolerance or even endorsement of figures like Hasan Piker and Abdul el-Sayed, whose views include resentment toward America, anti-capitalism, and support for radical, anti-western narratives. The piece argues that many Democrats share similar perspectives, viewing the U.S. as oppressive and deserving of punishment, and believing in dismantling and replacing existing institutions through revolutionary means. The support for El-Sayed by prominent party leaders exemplifies this ideological alignment and signals a broader acceptance of radical sentiments within the party, reflecting a troubling trend of self-loathing and extremist sympathies that have grown since the anniversary of 9\/11.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The approaching 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is a reminder of the outrageous fact that this election cycle, a Democratic U.S. Senate nominee from a purple state proudly campaigned alongside a man who said \u201cAmerica deserved 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Abdul El-Sayed\u2019s use of the America-loathing, jihadi-sympathizing, Jew-hating Hasan Piker\u00a0as a surrogate\u00a0should be disqualifying. But calls for El-Sayed and other leading Democrats to distance themselves from and denounce\u00a0Piker, and Piker alone, enable the Democrat Party to dodge accountability on a darker issue. <\/p>\n<p>Disassociating from Piker, a single streamer, as some have done in the vaguest and most oblique way possible, is relatively easy. Far harder for Democrats, apparently, is for them to forcefully and with specificity reject his views.\u00a0Here, by and large, they have gone mum.<\/p>\n<p>Through indoctrination and\/or importation, many Americans hold the same odious views as Piker.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/democratic-socialists-of-america-communism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Democratic Socialists of America\u2019s<\/a> (DSA) 120,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/excessive-engagement-in-politics-causing-mass-exodus-from-nations-largest-labor-unions-analysts-2\/\" title=\"\u201cExcessive Engagement in Politics\u201d Causing Mass Exodus From Nation\u2019s Largest Labor Unions: Analysts\">000 dues-paying members<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/29\/only-14-of-dems-are-extremely-proud-to-be-american-as-patriotism-hits-record-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polling<\/a>, and the incoming class of insurgent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2026\/08\/11\/how_hamas_attack_on_israel_is_transforming_american_politics_1199748.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red-Green Congress members<\/a> \u2014 to say nothing of a Democrat caucus already overwhelmingly dominated by like-minded\u00a0members \u2014 are a testament to the fact that the left is comprised of countless Pikers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Many Believe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>They may not express their views as crudely as Piker, and they may lack his platform, but fundamentally, they see the world the same as he does. They believe America is an\u00a0evil, oppressive, imperialist nation. They believe that we must be punished for our sins.<\/p>\n<p>They\u00a0believe that their highest calling is to effectuate a left-wing, anti-governmental, anti-capitalist revolution to destroy our institutions, public and private, decapitate their leaders, and collect and redistribute the spoils from their conquest. They believe that America\u2019s enemies are victims of our policies, and therefore that state foes and non-state actors alike, including jihadist organizations, are noble\u00a0\u201cresistance\u201d\u00a0forces \u2014 that their strikes on the U.S. are \u201cdeserved,\u201d that \u201cblowback\u201d is our just comeuppance.<\/p>\n<p>They believe that Jews \u2014 adherents to a religion from which Christianity and Western civilization sprang \u2014 and their supporters are to blame for every social, political, and economic ill.<\/p>\n<p>And, indeed, they believe that Jews, Christians, conservatives, commonsense Americans of all stripes, and anyone else devoted to protecting and preserving the West are the chief stumbling block to achieving total hegemony \u2014 and therefore that it is imperative to make common cause with those who will help them to defeat us, no matter how ruthless and repressive.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats\u2019 agenda, as I detailed in my book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/American-Ingrate-Progressive-Islamist-Takeover-Democratic\/dp\/1642934267\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=2ZWHSRRNAZC0Z&#038;keywords=american+ingrate&#038;qid=1582507519&#038;sprefix=american+ingrate,aps,143&#038;sr=8-1&#038;linkCode=sl1&#038;tag=changeup0a-20&#038;linkId=41102e8769cb9a47fd1c87f1d838f614&#038;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party<\/em><\/a>, some six years ago, and as only accelerated during the Biden years and up to today, increasingly reflects this toxic worldview.<\/p>\n<p>This has been demonstrated not only in Democrats\u2019 nominating of DSA and DSA-adjacent candidates for federal office in states as diverse as New York, Florida, and Michigan this year, but most recently when a grand total of only eight out of more than 200 House Democrats could bring themselves to vote for a Sept. 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-resolution\/1490\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resolution<\/a> condemning socialism.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Party\u2019s Backing of El-Sayed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps even more telling has been the party establishment\u2019s backing of El-Sayed himself.<\/p>\n<p>The Piker promoter dresses his leftism and Islamic supremacism in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >tight-fitting v-neck t-shirt<\/a> and hides it behind manipulative sloganeering. The Rhodes scholar who, Obama-like, strives to straddle Egypt and Ann Arbor equally, delivers similar rhetoric with the same cadence as the like-minded former president.<\/p>\n<p>In one of his most honest moments, El-Sayed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2026\/08\/09\/el-sayed-i-care-about-hasan-pikers-audience-not-his-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> that \u201cthe three million people who listen to Hasan are people I want to make sure understand that there\u2019s a pathway into our politics around getting money out of politics so we can get money back in pockets and pass Medicare for All. And so I\u2019m going to continue to have the conversations with those folks who we desperately need to reach out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Translation: El-Sayed <em>wants <\/em>and needs the Piker vote, and he is running as the politically acceptable vehicle to make their shared worldview a reality \u2014 a worldview that, as I have reported extensively at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2026\/08\/11\/how_hamas_attack_on_israel_is_transforming_american_politics_1199748.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RealClearInvestigations<\/a> and my <a href=\"https:\/\/weingarten.substack.com\/p\/abdul-el-sayeds-aipac-invective-masks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Substack<\/a>, appears to be a product of and contributor to the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s network in America.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic establishment appears to view El-Sayed much the same way. The party\u2019s leaders, from former Vice President and presumed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Kirsten Gillibrand, to Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin, and across the Michigan congressional conference all back El-Sayed.<\/p>\n<p>Their endorsements suggest not only that they believe they need him to win the Michigan Senate seat to have a chance to retake the chamber and need to placate his voters, but that they are in directional alignment with him ideologically.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-five years after 9\/11, the Democrats\u2019 embrace of El-Sayed illustrates the extent to which the Islamic supremacist cause in America has advanced, national self-loathing has metastasized, and suicidal sentiments have gripped the American mind.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Ben Weingarten is editor at large for RealClearInvestigations.
