Dan Crenshaw was viciously attacked by Young Turks commentator Hasan Piker, who is the nephew of Cenk Uygur, a notorious hater of President Donald Trump. “Brave soldier f*cked his eye hole,” Piker laughed about Crenshaw. He added that “America deserved 9/11!” Well, that’s when Rep. Crenshaw crushed Hasan so badly, he may not be showing his face on his uncle’s show anytime soon. You’ll love this.
Hasan Piker, a contributor to progressive show The Young Turks and nephew of the show’s founder Cenk Uygur, said during a vulgar rant Tuesday night that America “deserved 9/11” and praised the “brave f-cking soldier” who injured former Navy SEAL Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX).
“America deserved 9/11, dude. Fuck it I’m saying it,” Piker said during an expletive-laced tirade he broadcast live on the internet.
Piker later doubled down on blaming America for 9/11, a terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.
“americas foreign policy decisions has lead to 911. this would’ve been a controversial thing to say in 2001. stop being a fucking idiot,” he tweeted Wednesday.
“we supplied arms to and trained bin laden. we destabilized the region long before 911. and now we’re stuck in perpetual war, which dan crenshaw was trying to justify in that clip. it’s exactly this kind of attitude that has sent thousands of young men and women overseas to die,” he added:

Then, he went after Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who served two more deployments following the serious injury and has received two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart.
“This guy has the understanding of foreign policy of, like, a 12-year-old,” ranted Hasan. “What the f***. What the f*** is wrong with this dude? Didn’t he go to war and like literally lose his eye because some mujahideen — a brave f***ing soldier — f***ed his eye hole with their d***?” Piker rambled, adding, “Isn’t that how he f***ing lost his dumba** eye, because he got his f***ing eye hole f***ed, by a brave soldier?”
Crenshaw responded to the vile remarks made by Piker on Wednesday. “[Hasan Piker] seems to confuse ‘Improvised Explosive Device’ with some weird terrorist fantasy,” he wrote via Twitter. “Lol sorry for triggering you Hasan.”
“You’re no Pete Davidson, stop trying so hard,” the Texas representative added, referencing a “Saturday Night Live” comedian who made a much-maligned joke about Crenshaw’s wartime injury last year. Unlike Piker, Davidson apologized for the (in comparative terms, mild) joke about Crenshaw, who, in turn, graciously appeared alongside the comedian for a powerful SNL segment.

Crenshaw lost his eye during his third deployment from an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast. “Dan was hit by an IED blast during a mission in Helmand province, Afghanistan,” the Republican’s campaign website explains.
“He was evacuated and awoke from his medically induced coma learning that his right eye had been destroyed in the blast and his left eye was still present, but badly damaged. Dan was completely blind and the doctors did not believe he would ever see again. Tara stood by him every day and night, keeping faith and praying he would see again. After several difficult surgeries, he eventually regained sight in his left eye, a miracle according to the head surgeon.”
Many Americans were livid at this punk, Hasan Piker, and they let him know directly that his anti-American rants prove he is just another jackass.
“Holy crap, people like you exist. There may have been hundreds who would have shared these sentiments in those Towers, but we will never know. Because they are dead. Killed by those you admire. I suggest you head to the Middle East and take up arms: talk is cheap,” tweeted “ThatDamnedGuy.”

“Now I understand what my [grandfather] meant when he said some people are put here to serve as a warning to others. And thank you for giving me an example to point to when teaching my children about f*cking ignorance,” tweeted Ron Thomas.

“You are the enemy of the American people and should be treated as such. America did not destabilize the Middle East – it’s been unstable since Mohammed. Consumed with tribal wars, beheadings, and genital mutilation of girls,” tweeted “Coastin.”

Piker said during his rant, “We supplied arms to and trained Bin Laden. We destabilized the region long before 911. And now we’re stuck in perpetual war, which Dan Crenshaw was trying to justify in that clip. It’s exactly this kind of attitude that has sent thousands of young men and women overseas to die.”
We never supplied arms to Bin Laden. We helped the mujahedeen in the 1980s while Russia attempted an invasion. Bin Laden was not a big player back then. Piker also has a lot in common with Rep. Ilhan Omar. He and his cohorts over at The Young Turks have identical viewpoints about the Middle East and Israel.
On Election Night in 2016, The Young Turks were streaming live on YouTube and videos of their collective meltdown have gone viral with Trump supporters. There is a really good chance they will be having another meltdown in 2020.
