Hasan Piker shares dark details from being \u201ccanceled\u201d for 9\/11 comment Twitch: Hasanabi[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV] Twitch streamer Hasan Piker went into the details surrounding the comment that got him suspended from Twitch, saying he got \u201can insane amount of death threats\u201d at the time. Almost a year ago in August of 2019, Hasan received a 7-day Twitch ban for joking that the United States \u201cdeserved\u201d 9\/11 while watching clips on one of his political commentary streams. The former Young Turks contributor has since returned to Twitch, but he recently told Ethan Klein on the H3H3 podcast that while he still gets plenty of comments about the incident, despite it dying down since last year. \u201cI was getting an insane amount of death threats, more death threats than I\u2019ve gotten in my entire life, and I\u2019m used to getting death threats in my line of work,\u201d Hasan said, before going on to explain the scariest part of the aftermath. \u201cThe only way it could have gotten worse, they put [the clip] on Fox and Friends, and I know Donald Trump watches Fox and Friends so I was like \u2018oh no, he\u2019s going to tweet about this,’\u201d the streamer revealed. \u201cI was literally like, if he tweets about this, I\u2019m dead. Someone will actually kill me. If he doesn\u2019t tweet about it, we\u2019re good.\u201d \u201cLuckily, it stopped there. Then for weeks, months on end, I still get sh*t for it all the time, it still gets brought up in conversations I have with Fox News commentators or pundits. It doesn\u2019t really matter, overall.\u201d Hasan went on in the interview to fully explain and defend the political reasons behind why he made the joke itself, which he has since admitted definitely wasn\u2019t in the best taste. \u201cMy critics say I think 9\/11 was good or something, which is crazy,\u201d he laughed. \u201cCancel Culture by the way \u2018exclusively\u2018 a leftist idea, yet, for some weird reason Republicans love doing it and manufacturing outrage.\u201d Hasan got right back to streaming and providing his unique brand of commentary after his 7-day suspension was up, and has apparently made it through being \u201ccanceled\u201d in one piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
