LEFT-WING STREAMER HAS SOME PIKER SAT DOWN WITH AXIOS'S ALEX THOMPSON FOR AN INTERVIEW. HERE'S PART OF WHAT HE SAID. YOU ONCE SAID THAT AMERICA IS THE TOP DOG IN TERRORISM. YES. DO YOU THINK AMERICA THEN IS WORSE THAN AL-QAEDA? POUND FOR POUND AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF DEATHS, YES, WE HAVE CAUSED TREMENDOUS TERROR ALL AROUND THE WORLD. PIKER WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE SCHOOL STRIKE IN IRAN, HE SAID THAT WAS TERROR. He said it doesn't mean that all Americans are terrorists, but there needs to be an environment of accountability. Before that interview clip published, El-Sayed told Armani Raju he would not campaign with Piker in the general election. He did campaign with Piker in the primary. We've seen Piker continue to make provocative comments. Does El-Sayed need to do more to distance himself from Piker? Okay I want to say this at this point I so sick of talking about Hassan Piker and I want Hassan Piker to go away I don know why he had to do that interview Everything he said in that interview is deeply Look, the bombing of the school in Iran was horrific. We shouldn't be in the war in Iran. We continue to vote for it. This election is about the adult L.C. and not Hassan Piker. I want I what he said. I think Israel has got a right to exist. Quite frankly, the things he has said about women are horrific. I don't understand. I keep telling people someone explained to me why he has so many followers. But he is not. If he wants to see Abdullah El-Sead elected, stop going on television. Abdul has got to make it clear that he does not agree with the things that he has said. But I wish everybody stopped talking about Hassan Piker and Hassan Piker would just go away so we could talk about the issues that are at stake in November, which is about making sure that if somebody's sick in this country, they can go to the doctor when they need to go to the doctor. I sense your frustration with the situation. He did campaign with him in the primary, so it's certainly raising a lot of questions.
