'Jail Republicans' chant fuels backlash after Hasan Piker appearance

Leftist influencer Hasan Piker just casually exposed the deranged mindset of progressive voters.

While out campaigning for far-left political candidates ahead of the midterms, Piker dropped a quick reference to a “75-year-old named Gertrude” who basically wants being a Republican to be a crime. Naturally, the totally normal, well-adjusted people in the audience start chanting the woman’s name like she’s some sort of inspiration.

Watch:

Hasan Piker leads chant in support of “criminalizing” being Republican:

“If you think people in this room are radical, you should listen to a 75-year-old named Gertrude who’s out there and wants to basically criminalize being a Republican,” the streamer said.

The clip gathered a lot of attention on social media, and many people had something to say about it:

When these people tell you what they want to do, you should believe them. https://t.co/rEkCeqGAP9

I guarantee you at least 80% of the people in the room, Piker included, have ties to America going back all of five minutes. They hate us, the country, and our history. Get them out. https://t.co/3njFvjWh0E

The Democratic Party are anti-western, anti-constitutional, pro-Marxist domestic extremists and need to be treated as such. These people are a direct threat to our nation and need to be subverted. https://t.co/p7UPnh3nbk

Hasan wants others to try it while paying him to keep them mad.

He is getting all his little foot soldiers riled up to go out and get hurt for his cause…

If @TheDemocrats had their way, 1A & 2A would be abolished. All opposing political parties would be illegal. What the @DNC wants is a true Orwellian-fascist system. They r ghouls.

Which means Dems are admitting their ideas are so garbage they can’t beat Republicans in the arena of ideas. They only way they can win is cheating and jailing (which is what they have been doing since Obama became president)
