her fiance is legitimately just a republican (follows "dems for rogers" on twitter, an account iirc made by republicans, as well as libs of tiktok and maybe others) who just really loves israel and has gone out to speak to reporters specifically to say hes voting for mike rogers. they both have been going out and doing interviews with fox, cnn, etc to say backhanded things where they apply a blanket to subjects and heavily and not subtly imply that abdul is antisemitic and bad

this whole thing right now is he asked stevens to campaign with him and she said she would if he took down tucker carlson’s ad and condemned cenk uygur’s ad and he said she’s trying to make him lose the election

Tucker Carlson is a terrible person, but from someone who lives in the south and ran for office before. I HATE the local maga reporter, but just because we disagree on 99% of issues doesn’t mean it’s bad when we do agree

Here’s a great example. The reporter is dragging on of my candidates for sitting for the flag On the other hand, that same local reporter took one of my speeches about a cop killing 4 people in town and put it on their platform with no alterations or commentary

the synagogue comment on its own doesnt make him antisemitic "hasan piker" alright pal. cenk uygur idrk about what are the tropes hes using beyond stating that a lobbying group for a foreign special interest group has been successful at the cost of the american taxpayer? again stevens is just someone who would vote to give our money to a horrid right wing government over there

the whole thing is not at all what youve said. her husband (fiance idc) is halfway to being a campaigner for rogers, and she doesnt have to be going out and talking about this publicly when its "hey haley lets have a conversation about what it takes for you to be on stage with me and help me out"

i agree stevens and husband are being attention seeking but they’re not wrong. plus she has been trying to have those conversations for months

"theyre not wrong" except they are because theyre doing it publicly and they really really dont have to unless their goal is to oppose him. if they were having the conversation privately then fine but doing all this and being "attention seeking" is the wrong thing that makes them wrong.

hasan piker isnt the candidate. hes not a real fantastic person. hes an entertainer who streams because hes an entertainer who gets riled up live by chatters which gets him views and he says some things that are less than smart. abdul used that platform because well golly its a big platform to benefit from. just like aipac stages are a big platform to benefit from but fuck me thats dedicated to some bad shit

im actually really baffled that you tried to reframe what stevens and co are doing. i specifically stated for someone else what they were doing, you responded to me and then completely manipulated and downplayed what theyre doing.

Homie, you gotta take a breath. You’ll have a better chance at changing is mind by adding some structure to your thoughts. For the most part I think I agree with you, but it feels like the conversation is devolving completely

i dont watch hasan but if you were to watch a stream or two of his those ls are not that uncommon as much as he says intelligent and decent things, hes a champagne socialist twitch streamer who benefits with sensationalism the same way fox news benefits by going insane over one trans person saying they dont like toast or something minor that fox can get riled up about
