John Fetterman Offers El-Sayed $25K Per Rally If He Campaigns With Hasan Piker: ‘Are They Cowards?’

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) mockingly dared Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to take Hasan Piker onto the campaign trail on Tuesday, even offering a $25,000 donation for every rally the Democratic candidate holds with the left-wing streamer.

The Democrat issued the challenge during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity on Tuesday night, where he unleashed a sweeping attack on El-Sayed and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) while urging his party to distance itself from its left flank.

“I’m daring him, campaign with this Hasan Piker,” Fetterman told host Sean Hannity. “You know, I will donate $25,000 to his super PAC for every campaign rally that he does with Hasan Piker.”

Fetterman continued: “You know, that’s definitely, that’s his main guy. So like get back out on the trail, dude.”

“I mean, let the tiny guy just go hit the road with Hasan Piker,” he added. “You know, he tries to pretend that he doesn’t have the same kinds of views as Hasan Piker because he’s campaigned with him constantly.”

The senator then turned his challenge into an ultimatum: “So right now I’m daring them. Are they cowards? You know, campaign together. Or condemn them. What are you going to be?”

Fetterman had earlier launched a blistering broadside against El-Sayed, accusing him of supporting “Sharia law” and being “absolutely pro-Iran and Hamas,” while linking him politically to Piker.

“He’s in a spiritual union with Hasan Piker, who really thinks that we deserve 9/11,” Fetterman said. “So overall, I don’t get along with communists and socialists and people that hate America, or people that pick on women, you know, like El-Sayed.”

The Pennsylvania senator has increasingly positioned himself against the Democratic Party’s socialist wing, while insisting he has no intention of switching parties.

“No, I’m not going to be Republican,” Fetterman told Hannity, adding that he would remain “a Democrat that’s going to have a conversation with whoever’s playing it straight.”

Fetterman also called on fellow Democrats to reject the DSA outright, declaring: “This is not like a big tent situation.”

“They should have their own entire party and run alone as the kinds of communists and socialists and anti-American party that they are,” he said.
