此次集会为密歇根州联邦参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德造势,后者获得参议员伯尼·桑德斯的支持
亚当·帕克 福克斯新闻报道
密歇根州联邦参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德与有争议的反以色列流媒体主播哈桑·皮克尔一同亮相,皮克尔曾声称“美国活该遭遇9·11事件”,并为10月7日的袭击辩护。福克斯新闻撰稿人米兰达·德文批评这位进步派政客搞政治投机,认为此类亮相会使激进观点正常化。她还对该主播未经核实的线上粉丝数量以及反美言论的传播表示担忧。

当地时间周二,隶属于“国会进步党团(Squad)”的宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员萨默·李在一场由极左翼社交媒体网红主办的竞选集会上表示,高收入美国人才是真正的“敌人”。
“我看到有些人拼命想让你觉得,你的敌人就在你身边,”李在《华盛顿自由灯塔报》发布的一段视频中说道。“他们会让你觉得,敌人是那些信仰不同、外貌不同、社会经济背景不同的人——除非他们属于上层阶级。”
“他们只会玩弄恐惧、分裂、破坏和搅局的政治手段。他们需要我们把注意力从那些参与了我国最大规模性 trafficking 团伙的人身上移开,”李继续说道,似乎是在提及已故的已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦。“我需要你们站出来,学习知识,掌握自己的力量。”
作为“国会进步党团”成员的左翼议员李,是在参与助阵密歇根州联邦参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德的竞选活动时发表上述言论的。同样支持埃尔赛义德的“国会进步党团”成员、密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布也出席了此次活动。

获得佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯支持的埃尔赛义德,被视为该州民主党三方初选中最具进步主义色彩的候选人。
曾发表“美国活该遭遇9·11事件”言论的Twitch主播哈桑·皮克尔主持了此次集会。皮克尔还因针对10月7日以色列遭袭事件、以色列政府以及中国共产党的言论遭到两党人士的批评,批评者称其言论为反犹和反美。
多次倡导支持巴勒斯坦事业的李,在接受《宾夕法尼亚州城市与州》媒体采访时的一份声明中,为自己与皮克尔一同出席竞选活动的决定进行了辩护。
“在唐纳德·特朗普威胁要对伊朗发动灾难性暴力行动,并声称‘整个文明今晚将灭亡’的当下,如果某些人还把注意力放在这件事上,那我们的 priorities 就严重脱节了,”李在一份声明中说道,她指的是总统周二在Truth Social上发表的言论。“我们需要吸引年轻人参与,认真对待他们的声音,并且认识到,当普通民众真正参与塑造政治时,我们的政治才会最有力量。”
“如果记者对哈桑·皮克尔的言论有疑问,应该去问哈桑·皮克尔本人,”李补充道。
埃尔赛义德周二在接受《福克斯与朋友们》采访时,也试图与皮克尔的言论划清界限。

“当然,我反对强奸。当然,我不认为9·11事件是正当的,”埃尔赛义德说道。“仅仅因为你和某人一同亮相,并不意味着你在所有问题上都同意他们的观点。”
埃尔赛义德还提名李作为宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼的潜在左翼挑战者,如果费特曼决定在2028年寻求连任的话。费特曼因与共和党人投票支持国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林斯的任命,以及其他几次跨党派投票的行为,遭到了一些宾夕法尼亚州民主党人的批评。
埃尔赛义德的民主党初选对手——密歇根州民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯和密歇根州州参议员马洛里·麦克马伦,尖锐批评了他与皮克尔一同竞选的决定。

“一名想要代表所有密歇根选民的候选人,却与哈桑·皮克尔一同竞选,这是不可接受的,”史蒂文斯在一份声明中说道。“皮克尔毫无歉意地发表了一系列伤害性和反犹言论。在这场选举面临诸多风险的当下,我们应该聚焦于密歇根选民面临的挑战,以及如何为他们而战。”

Squad member Summer Lee calls ‘upper class’ the ‘enemy’ at El-Sayed rally
April 8, 2026 1:54pm EDT / Fox News
The rally boosted Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders
By Adam Pack Fox News
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared with controversial anti-Israel streamer Hasan Piker, who claimed “America deserved 9/11” and condoned the October 7 attacks. Fox News contributor Miranda Devine criticized the progressive politician for political opportunism, arguing that such appearances normalize radical views. She raises concerns about the streamer’s unverified online followers and the spread of anti-American discourse.

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., suggested that higher-earning Americans were the real “enemy” during a campaign rally headlined by a far-left social media influencer on Tuesday.
“I see other people who are fighting like hell to make you feel like your enemy is sitting next to you,” Lee said in a video posted by The Washington Free Beacon. “That your enemy is somebody who worships differently than you are, or looks differently than you are, comes from a different socioeconomic background than you, unless they are the upper class.”
“They only have the politics of fear and division and destruction and disruption. They need us to keep our focus away from the people who have participated in the biggest sex trafficking ring in our country,” Lee continued, appearing to reference the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I need you to instead lead and learn and live in your power.”
Lee, a left-wing lawmaker affiliated with “the Squad,” made the remarks during a campaign event she participated in to boost Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., another “Squad” member who is supporting El-Sayed, was in attendance.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT CONDEMNS PARTY MEMBERS RALLYING WITH FAR-LEFT STREAMER HASAN PIKER
El-Sayed, who is running with the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is viewed as the most progressive candidate in the state’s three-way Democratic primary.
Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who once said “America deserved 9/11,” headlined the rally. Piker has also drawn backlash from both parties over his comments on the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the Israeli government and the Chinese Communist Party, which critics have called antisemitic and anti-American.
Lee, who has repeatedly advocated for pro-Palestinian causes, doubled down on her decision to appear at the campaign event with Piker in a statement obtained by the outlet City & State Pennsylvania.
“At a moment when Donald Trump is threatening catastrophic violence against Iran and saying ‘a whole civilization will die tonight,’ our priorities are deeply out of step if this is what some choose to focus on,” Lee said in a statement, referring to the president’s comments on Truth Social on Tuesday. “We need to invite young people in, take them seriously, and recognize that our politics are strongest when everyday people have a real hand in shaping them.”
“If reporters have questions about Hasan Piker’s statements, they should ask Hasan Piker,” Lee added.
El-Sayed also sought to distance himself from Piker’s statements during an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.

“Of course I oppose rape. Of course I don’t think 9/11 was justified,” El-Sayed said. “Just because you appear with somebody doesn’t mean you agree with them on everything.”
El-Sayed also floated Lee as a potential leftist challenger to Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., if he decides to seek re-election in 2028. Fetterman has faced criticism from some Pennsylvania Democrats for voting with Republicans to support Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation, among other instances where he has crossed party lines.
Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Mich., El-Sayed’s primary opponents, sharply criticized his decision to campaign with Piker.

“It is unacceptable for a candidate wanting to represent all Michiganders to campaign with Hasan Piker, a person who is unapologetic about a career of making hurtful and anti-Semitic comments,” Stevens said in a statement. “With all that’s at stake in this election, we should be focused on the challenges Michiganders are facing and how to fight for them.”
