If you haven’t heard of The Young Turks by now, you likely will soon. The progressive news and commentary YouTube channel has 4.5 million subscribers and growing. With the rise of representatives in the mold of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, their influence on shaping the modern Democratic Party is self-evident.
And if you need evidence that TYT’s unprincipled ideologues are trash, look at Hasan Piker.
The host mocked Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s war injury, saying “some mujahideen, a brave f**king soldier f**ked his eye hole with their d**k.”
Per Mediaite:
Piker was mocking an appearance by Crenshaw on podcast The Joe Rogan Experience where Crenshaw had said many are quick to blame America’s foreign policies for causing terror attacks, but it is much more complex than that. “There’s always bad guys,” said Crenshaw. He said that America’s expansive military basing in other countries, is warranted and wanted by the locals. “There’s no case except in the case of Syria, where their local government, Bashar al-Assad, doesn’t want us there. That’s the only case that I can think of that we don’t have a status of forces agreement with the government.”
Piker had also sounded off on Twitter, claiming that America supplied arms to and trained Osama Bin Laden:
americas foreign policy decisions has lead to 911. this would’ve been a controversial thing to say in 2001. stop being a fucking idiot.

we supplied arms to and trained bin laden. we destabilized the region long before 911. and now we’re stuck in perpetual war, which dan crenshaw was trying to justify in that clip. it’s exactly this kind of attitude that has sent thousands of young men and women overseas to die.

Yesteday, he called Crenshaw’s “right wing victimhood” a disease for talking about a joke made about him losing an eye:
dan crenshaw is crying on a comedian’s podcast about how not offended he was about a joke made against him almost an entire year ago. right wing victimhood is a brain disease.

Crenshaw also joined in. “Lol sorry for triggering you Hasan. You’re no Pete Davidson, stop trying so hard.”
.@hasanthehun seems to confuse “Improvised Explosive Device” with some weird terrorist fantasy.
