Far-left streamer Hasan Piker said there was a 0% chance the Democratic nominee would be pro-Israel in an interview posted Thursday.
CNN's Donie O'Sullivan asked Piker if he would endorse the Democratic candidate in 2028 if they are pro-Israel in a way that he disagrees with, if he's focused on "defeating fascism" in America.
"Surely shouldn't you get on board with whoever the main candidate is?" O'Sullivan asked.

"Luckily, I don't think I'll have to make that calculation at all because there is 0% chance that whoever the elected Democrat is that wins the primary will be pro-Israel in any way, shape or form. You'll see," Piker responded.

The far-left streaming personality was recently asked about his preferred candidate for Democrats in 2028.
When asked to choose between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., as his preferred candidate, Piker immediately selected the New York congresswoman.
Polling has shown support for Israel collapse among Democrats, and far-left candidates have won primaries across the country this year with anti-Israel platforms.

"AOC. It's not even a question," Piker said during a Zeteo interview.
Piker made the choice at the end of a rapid-fire exercise that began with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The list later included former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Khanna.

Piker has come under renewed scrutiny over a recent addition to his visual background during his streams.
Viewers noticed what appeared to be a framed copy of the front page of a newspaper with an image of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Twin Towers in New York City.
The earliest livestream reviewed by Fox News Digital showing the newspaper in the background was broadcast on July 13. The front page appears to be The New York Times' Sept. 12, 2001, edition, which was headlined, "U.S. Attacked: Hijacked Jets Destroy Twin Towers and Hit Pentagon in Day of Terror." The X account DSA Watch posted a clip of Piker's stream, where he discussed the newspaper front page framed on the wall behind him.

"You might have noticed something, some changes behind me. I finally framed the cutie Cinderella newspaper from 9/11, the morning of 9/12… the newspaper that covered 9/11. It's now officially sitting behind me," he told viewers earlier this month.

Piker was widely criticized after saying that "America deserved 9/11" during a stream in 2019. After facing immense backlash, Piker said in an interview that he "obviously" did not mean that America deserved the attacks and accused critics of disregarding "the actual truth of what I was talking about," explaining the viral quote as a critique of U.S. foreign policy.
