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.

    Remember folks, it starts with the leftists, then it doesn’t stop until we lose for good. Every 80 years.

      It didn’t start with leftists. It started with immigrants, but we didn’t do anything, because both parties are united in bigotry and vile hatred against immigrants.

      But here’s the thing most leftists are pseudo-leftists (AKA controlled opposition)

      So deal with that first.
