Hasan Piker joins MS NOW’s Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels for a wide-ranging interview on Clock It. The Twitch streamer and political commentator has a massive following with growing influence in progressive politics. But he is controversial. It has Fox News talking about him all the time and many Democratic politicians denouncing him for offensive comments. But instead of talking about him, Symone and Eugene wanted to talk to him. In this wide-ranging conversation, Piker joins them to discuss his evolution from livestreamer to increasingly visible political influencer, and what that high profile means in this crucial midterm election cycle. They debate who the “working class” and the Democratic base really is and what’s driving the left in this political era. Piker is confronted on what he says is the “majority position” of Democrats with Symone asking him to prove it. Piker is also challenged on whether his influence can actually win, with Symone making clear that if she were running a political campaign, she would tell her candidate to “disavow” him to win. There is much more in this compelling interview, with the Clock It hosts asking Piker the hard questions.

Earlier this month, Punchbowl News reported the Department of Justice sought to indict Cassidy Hutchinson. In a huge blow to the Trump DOJ, a Washington, D.C. grand jury declined to indict the former White House aide and Trump critic on charges of lying to Congress. Nicolle Wallace is joined by Carol Leonnig and Miles Taylor for reaction on Deadline: White House. Plus, Lawrence O’Donnell examines why Hutchinson’s courage in testifying against Trump’s role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol made her a target of his revenge campaign.
