Far-Left Infighting Erupts As Hasan Piker Tells Mamdani to ‘Shut the F*** Up’

“I just listened to his new New York Times conversation where The New York Times asked him, like, ‘If you had unlimited money, what would you do?’” Piker said. “He’s like, ‘Exactly the same policies I’m implementing.’ I’m like, ‘Shut the f— up, dude.’”

Piker’s criticism came during a broader discussion with Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan about whether left-wing politicians are too concerned with optics and too willing to retreat when their positions draw criticism.

Piker said politicians, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., risk appearing uncommitted to their positions when they sound hesitant or defensive.

“If you come across as, like, even a little worried or even a little defensive, then people respond to that with, ‘Oh, maybe she doesn’t believe this either,’” Piker said.

I just want to see that idiot Mamdani crash and burn. I’m sure he will end up a train wreck as will NYC.

Even radical Mamdani is not radical enough for the Commies.

Movements built on anger have no finish line. They always need a new villain. Eventually, the only people left to hate are each other.

Hasan asked whether Piker wanted the interview to end with him telling one of his political allies to “shut the f— up.” Piker stressed that his frustration did not represent a break with Mamdani.

“I mean, come on,” Piker said. “I love the guy. I have my disagreements with him from time to time.”

Piker later accepted Hasan’s revised description of the approach he wanted from progressive politicians.

“Bold, brave and unapologetic,” Piker said.
