Hasan Piker vows to never criticize Mao Zedong in resurfaced video
A resurfaced video showing far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker praising Mao Zedong circulated online Sunday night after he addressed the College Democrats of America’s national convention Saturday in Washington, prompting criticism from Democratic activists, political commentators and other public figures.
In the resurfaced livestream, Piker discussed being stopped by a police officer while visiting Tiananmen Square during a November 2025 trip to China.
“I got stopped by a cop who thought I was making fun of Mao Zedong, which I never would and never will,” Piker said. “Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, OK? A man who changed the entire universe, the entire planet.”
