The Daily Wire reports that political streamer Hasan Piker, during a livestream on Friday, compared pro-Israel Democratic organizers canvassing in West Bloomfield, Michigan — a heavily Jewish Detroit suburb — to a Ku Klux Klan neighborhood, calling opposition to Abdul El-Sayed "Jewish supremacy."

The Daily Wire notes Piker previously said America deserved the September 11 attacks.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who is Jewish, called the remarks "anti-semitic, divisive and deeply offensive" in a post on X, adding that flippantly attacking "a proud, diverse community" and a canvasser taking part in democracy "reveals how misguided and uninformed he actually is about Michigan."

Notably, El-Sayed himself condemned the comments: according to a statement reported by the Daily Wire and echoed by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, El-Sayed said he grew up in the town next to West Bloomfield and that "Comparing Jewish Michiganders to the Ku Klux Klan is utterly inappropriate and flat out wrong."

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports the Piker furor landed amid a broader late-campaign rupture: Rep.

Haley Stevens, who narrowly lost the August primary to El-Sayed, criticized him in New York Times interviews for not condemning a Rebellion PAC ad — a project of commentator Cenk Uygur — that blamed Israel for rising grocery prices, and for keeping a campaign ad featuring Tucker Carlson that she urged him to pull.

JTA reports Stevens said, "We are not going to say that the cost of groceries is because of Jews and the Jewish state," while El-Sayed accused her of "relitigating a primary that ended three months ago" and invoked her ties to AIPAC.

Stevens' fiancée, Jewish megadonor Jason Turkish, told JTA he would vote for Republican Mike Rogers.

Uygur, of course, is Piker's uncle — the streamer and the PAC backer are family, as the Daily Wire notes Piker is Uygur's nephew — tying the creator controversy directly into the party's intra-left media orbit.

The Daily Wire highlights that Slotkin urged others to condemn Piker as well.

For the creator economy, the stakes go beyond one race: political streamers now function as surrogates whose live rants can force candidates into public condemnations, campaigns into disavowals, and outside PACs — here one run by the streamer's own uncle — into the center of a Senate contest.

Whether El-Sayed's condemnation is enough, and whether Piker doubles down on stream, will shape how campaigns vet influencer surrogates in future cycles.
