The scariest man in America, according to Fox News, MAGA, and many in the corporate establishment, is not RFK Jr., an anti-vaxx eugenicist, nor Stephen Miller, a white nationalist, nor Donald Trump, a rapist and convicted criminal who incited a violent insurrection.
There is someone scarier.
Is it Rep. Max Miller from Ohio who is credibly accused of abusing his ex-wife and his child? Is it Rep. Randy Fine of Florida, who Trump endorsed and just won his primary in Florida and has said every mainstream Muslim should be “destroyed?” Is it Pete Hegseth’s pastor, Doug Wilson, who has called for the repeal of the 19th Amendment and has been invited to lead prayer at the Pentagon?
No, no, and no.
Well, what about Islamophobe Laura Loomer, who advises Trump?
Nope!
This rogue’s gallery of villains is all halal according to those who are powerful. I give you Meet the Press host Kristen Welker laughing it up with Stephen Miller at the WHCD reboot.
So, who is our modern Voldemort?
It’s progressive streamer and Democratic Socialist Hasan Piker!
He has united both MAGA and many Democrats who believe he must be condemned at every opportunity. He has been used to smear Abdul El-Sayed and any progressive who has gone on his show or campaigned with him against the MAGA agenda. Haley “I see Israel in my dreams” Stevens went on Fox to promote El-Sayed and used her time to attack Piker.
Hasan joined me for the first time as I guest-hosted for Joy Ann Reid, and we got into all of it!
