DSA accused of elevating antisemitic, pro-terror rhetoric after Hasan Piker hosts election stream

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chose controversial Twitch streamer to host its official election night livestream, drawing a blunt response from Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who accused the group of elevating rhetoric supportive of terrorism and antisemitism.

"Of all the people the DSA could have chosen to host its official election night livestream, it chose Hasan Piker, someone who proudly expresses support for terrorist organizations and traffics in antisemitism," Greenblatt wrote in a post on X. "Let that sink in. The DSA isn't distancing itself from this kind of rhetoric. It's elevating it."

The DSA saw several of its endorsed or supported candidates win on Tuesday night, including Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, Melat Kiros in Colorado, Donavan McKinney in Michigan, Claire Valdez in New York and Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York.

In his post, Greenblatt included a link to an ADL article statements by Piker that the organization criticized, including comments the ADL said said have "alluded to classic antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories." The article contains some of Piker's more infamous remarks, such as when he referred to Orthodox Jews as "inbred" and his classification of Zionism as "an exterminationist ideology built around ethnoreligious supremacist values."

Piker did not hold back in his response to Greenblatt, writing, "Suck it Jonathan, your best friend Elon burned 450 million to lose races all over the country tonight you bald piece of s---!!!"

The ADL did not immediately respond to Pikers remarks about Greenblatt.

On Tuesday, Piker described the election as a "blue-clear apocalypse" as Democrats saw major gains in the House and Senate. Pike livestreamed for more than 13 hours, offering his signature political commentary as votes were tallied.

"Trumpism is dying, and I could not feel any better," Piker told his audience. At one point, he suggested, "Just imagine a world where Donald Trump is in f---ing prison."

He also gloated over Republicans' defeat, saying, "This is perhaps the worst possible scenario for the Republican Party, I think their odious agenda, their corruption, the destabilizing impact that theyve had, the endless warfare and its consequences on the American economy, are finally coming back to bite them."

Ahead of the midterm elections, Piker drew attention in political circles as he interviewed and even campaigned with DSA-backed and DSA-aligned candidates. Piker came to national prominence after he campaigned with now-Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. While his race was not explicitly DSA-backed, the organization said that El-Sayed "supports DSA priorities like Medicare for All."

El-Sayed's decision to appear with Piker drew criticism
