Hasan Piker, the biggest progressive political streamer in America, was detained by Customs and Border Protection for hours of questioning upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to France this weekend. Piker posted about the incident on X and later talked about it on stream.

He was detained in Chiago and questioned for two hours about protected journalistic activities like who he’s interviewed and his political beliefs. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel and asked about his history of bans on Twitch. His phone and laptop were not confiscated.

Here's a summary in a meme format.

Oh I knew about Hasan saying Russia wouldn't attack Ukraine. I mean I don't know where the being best buds with Putin came from.

The saying "wouldn't attack" isn't my main gripe. It's the constant blaming of NATO for the conflict. Which is word-for-word out of putin's playbook.

Also, there were plenty of terms of endearment from hasan. It was never "putin bad" before the invasion. It was "putin smart, NATO bad".

I don't have any more sources for you, you can believe what you please. I don't give a rat's ass about the dickhead, and I'd like to stop talking about him right now.
