A Certain Twitch Streamer Just Played Kingmaker in Michigan, and Human Rights Groups Have Thoughts

Darlings, picture this: a very famous, very tall political streamer rolls into Detroit on the eve of a primary, takes the stage for a congressional hopeful, and allegedly marvels, per the New York Post's account, over the 'white dude bros' showing up to support said candidate. The candidate in question is Abdul El-Sayed. The streamer in question is, well, you know exactly who by now.

The Detroit News confirms the appearance at El-Sayed's final campaign event. Kingmaker behavior, allegedly. And if this feels like a sequel to the New York Post's earlier piece connecting El-Sayed to a $3,000 donation and the phrase 'anti-Israel radical,' it is, because that piece exists and the receipts are still very much out there.

Meanwhile, Yahoo reports that human rights groups are condemning his defense of Hamas having a 'right to resist militarily,' a claim that arrived the same week he was confronted about Hamas support on CNN, per Fox News. The Washington Times, never one to understate things, describes swing-state Democrats as 'rolling the dice.' A journey. We wish everyone involved clarity in this very busy primary season of their own making.
