Hasan Piker just warned American Jews. A House Democrat says enough. Michigan Democrat Rep. Hillary Scholten called Hasan Piker “a hack who thrives on hate, shock and awe because he lacks substance” — and she’s not wrong about the shock and awe part. That’s his whole business model. Here’s what set her off. During an Aug. 20 stream, Piker put up a photo of Michigan state Sen.
