Dem senator calls out far-left streamer, asks what 'normal' person would go on such an antagonistic show

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., fired back after far-left streamer Hasan Piker criticized her for going on Bill Maher's show while failing to appear on his Twitch livestream.

"I've said repeatedly that I've got to call balls and strikes, whether it's antisemitism, Islamophobia... so that's what I've tried to do, as he's come into Michigan," Slotkin told POLITICO's Adam Wren.

"There are a ton of invites that I've not taken, and every politician has to make their choice..." she added.

Wren pressed Slotkin about which "strikes" Piker had made with her, prompting her to call out "derogatory" remarks he had made against orthodox jews and his prior suggestion that America "deserved 9/11."

"Not to mention, he calls me 'stupid' every other week," she said.

"So, what normal human being would choose to go on a show when someone calls you 'stupid' every ten days?

"It's not going to be something I do."

Slotkin also said she had "never been invited" to appear on Piker's content.

Slotkin additionally came under fire from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for appearing on "Real Time with Bill Maher."

The organization demanded that she apologize and denounce Maher's "long history of anti-Muslim bigotry and anti-Arab racism."

The Michigan Democrat's remarks came after Piker's controversial rally with Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at Michigan State University on Tuesday, where, while speaking to a POLITICO reporter, he listed her among the senators who "[doesn't] know who I am."

"I mean, this double standard exists in American politics. Islamophobia is often times not considered at all. Bill Maher is not only an Islamophobe, but he has also demonstrated anti-Blackness at every turn, but at the end of the day, he is representative of the same forces of politics in this country that are aligned with the establishment goals, and therefore, there's never a question about participating in his show," Piker said.

In 2019, Piker said, "America deserved 9/11." 

Fox News Digital reached out to Piker for comment, but did not hear back.
