Remember just a few months ago when leftwing media pundits told us that commie-loving Twitch streamer Hasan Piker was the future face of the Democrat Party? Evidently in a party for which David Hogg was previously the future face of the party, someone who could actually bench press 200 pounds was seen as a distinctly more manly alternative.
But a funny thing happened on the way to November. People started listening to the words tumbling out of Dog Shocker‘s “look at me, I’m Che Guevara” face, and decided that maybe somebody openly calling for murder and declaring their desire to “destroy the white race” wasn’t quite the face of the Party they were looking for. That’s why elected Democrats like Sens. Cory Booker, Ruben Gallego and Elissa Slotkin all decided they didn’t want someone who praises Communist China hanging around their campaign.
Another sign of how Piker’s popularity has become ever more selective: Piker announced that he would be speaking at the University of Texas, and 2,400 people signed up to watch him. Only 300 actually showed up.
After days of controversy over his appearance at the University of Texas, left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker took the stage Wednesday night to loud cheers from hundreds of students.
The “controversy” wasn’t so great that I even heard of the event until after it had happened.
“Wow, this is quite the eventful speech,” Piker said, appearing to reference the dispute over his appearance after the University Democrats claimed university officials discouraged the event and the group struggled to secure a larger venue after more than 2,400 RSVPs or waitlist signups.
About 300 people attended the event at the William C. Powers Jr. Student Activity Center, the venue originally reserved by organizers. The group returned there after it was unable to secure a larger space. The center has a capacity of about 460, and at least two rows of seats remained empty.
Let’s cue the BB King.
Next we’ll hear he’s not speaking in Boston because it’s not a big college town…
