The approaching 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is a reminder of the outrageous fact that this election cycle, a Democratic U.S. Senate nominee from a purple state proudly campaigned alongside a man who said “America deserved 9/11.”
Yes, Abdul El-Sayed’s use of the America-loathing, jihadi-sympathizing, Jew-hating Hasan Piker as a surrogate should be disqualifying. But calls for El-Sayed and other leading Democrats to distance themselves from and denounce Piker, and Piker alone, enable the Democrat Party to dodge accountability on a darker issue.
