Hasan Piker warns ‘the knives will be out’ after socialist Francesca Hong falls in Wisconsin upset

August 12, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Far-left streamer Hasan Piker warned Tuesday night that “the knives will be out” for the socialist left after Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, arguing during his livestream that Democratic establishment figures will work harder to stop insurgent candidates because they no longer underestimate the progressive movement.Piker, who appeared alongside Hong and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., at an August campaign rally, portrayed the loss as a warning for socialists seeking to build on recent primary victories.”It will be more difficult, though, because the establishment will not underestimate us. It will continue to undermine us, but they will not underestimate us,” Piker said. “So, the knives will be out.”HASAN PIKER CALLS FOR DEMOCRATS WHO OPPOSE ABDUL EL-SAYED TO BE ‘PUNISHED’RNC national spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre responded to Piker’s remarks in a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, calling on Democrats to disavow the controversial streamer.”Hasan Piker is a Hamas-hugging radical with a long history of threatening rape and violence against those he disagrees with. Democrats would do right to disavow him, but they’ll continue to bend to his will like spineless, useful idiots,” Baldassarre said.The Wisconsin primary became a contest between the party’s socialist left and its more traditional coalition. Hong, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, was backed by Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner and Wisconsin-based DSA chapters.After initially leaving the race, Crowley re-entered the contest with the endorsement of retiring Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and accumulated support from the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council, the IBEW Wisconsin State Conference and a slate of Democratic mayors and local officials.DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT STRIKES BACK AS SOCIALIST CANDIDATE DOWNED IN BATTLEGROUND PRIMARYHong previously sought to put distance between herself and Piker after appearing on his livestream for a campaign fundraiser, saying in a July “MS NOW Reports” interview that sharing a platform with someone did not mean she endorsed everything the host had said.Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and TV personality Spencer Pratt mocked the reaction of Piker and the DSA following Hong’s defeat.”Beetlejuice Bob isn’t take the Hong loss well,” Pratt said on X. “The DSA are freaking out that everyone is realizing Emperor Mao here has no clothes.”Piker said Crowley’s victory was “far from the worst result” and predicted the Democrat would defeat Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany in November.‘COMMON SENSE AGAINST CRAZY’: TRUMP-BACKED CANDIDATE SOUNDS ALARM ON SOCIALIST HONG IN WISCONSIN RACE”Crowley still, if he wins, is going to defeat Tom Tiffany. And that’s a good thing. OK, I stand on that,” Piker said.The Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary was not called until early Wednesday after Milwaukee election officials said “human error” delayed the county’s vote count. Five of nine memory sticks delivered to the Milwaukee County Courthouse contained audit logs instead of election results after an election worker pushed the wrong button, according to Milwaukee Election Commission Director Paulina Gutierrez.Fox News Digital reached out to Hong, Crowley and the DNC for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
