Leftist gaming site commentator Hassan Piker and Rep. Ilhan Omar , D-Minn., met up in Minnesota to cohost a campaign event on Monday night, bashing President Donald Trump's administration as well as Democrats who are willing to work with him. Piker, who streams his commentary on Twitch, called Republicans "terrorists" during the event, and Omar referred to the party as the "pedophile protection party." They made the comments during a Q&A session led by failed Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh. ILHAN OMAR ON TRACK FOR FIFTH TERM AS MINNESOTA VOTERS MAINTAIN FAR-LEFT STREAK "Trump's obsession with us started in 2016, when he arrived at the airport and begged for our vote. We said, no thank you. We continued to say, no thank you. He lies and says he's won Minnesota three times, as if," Omar said. "This defeat is going to be the fourth time! We remind him that Minnesota is not interested in a pedophile protection party. Minnesota doesn't send people who are corrupt and are interested in enriching themselves. And Minnesota does not come after the refugees, they send one to Congress," she added. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SLASHES TIME REFUGEES HAVE TO CHALLENGE LOSS OF LEGAL STATUS Piker went after less radical Democrats later in the interview, saying many in the party had ceded arguments to Trump in 2024 when they "started also saying that migrants were a national security threat." "That's unacceptable. Migrants are not a national security threat. They are our neighbors. They are allies. They work alongside us. They are not the burden, but a benefit. They are what make this country strong, and they're what make it this country great. And any Democrat ... any Democrat that refuses to recognize that, in my opinion, is un-American," Piker said.
