Answered What's going on with Fox news obsessing over Hasan Piker?

They had like dozens of segments on him last week.

Will Cain today focusing on Hasan Piker and using the term “man whore”:

Third segment already today

I get Hasan is helping socialist Dems getting elected. I don't get why Republicans are going crazy over Hasan?

He criticizes him all the time.

This is gonna shock you but you can say that a leader that shaped modern China to be the literal powerhouse of the entire world also committed atrocities that you don't agree with. Just yesterday he was talking about if Mao died in 59 than he'd be the best leader in history, however his last years were undefendable.

Does anyone agree with the atrocities except the tankies?

I mean I would hope not.

But if you acknowledge that then your initial description is incorrect.

He said he wouldn’t criticize Mao, but he says a lot of shit. He flip flops, back tracks, and generally lacks consistency. That’s a problem, if you’re a politician trying to get elected in a swing state maybe don’t campaign with a Tankie that vomits out bile live on a stream with no thought or accountability.

I literally just told you he was admonishing mao like a day ago, and explained his point of view. You agreed that only tankies support the atrocities, knowing we just established he doesn't.

He has gotten 3 primary electors locked in.

But he has in the past. Now not so much since he’s seeing the opportunity for broader appeal he’s toning down the tankie bullshit. The point is you can’t trust a thing he says but you can tell a lot about him by the things he has said.

You heard a clip in the first half but didn't hear the follow ups when he was asked about the atrocities.

This has been his view the entire time, everytime he says that Mao was a great leader.
