‘Tough Titties’: Progressive Podcaster Defends El-Sayed Campaigning With Hasan Piker In Expletive-Filled Rant

Left-wing podcast host Jennifer Welch delivered a profanity-laced defense of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s (D) appearances alongside streamer Hasan Piker, telling critics, “Tough titties.”

El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the state’s Tuesday Senate primary election, despite Stevens’ nine-to-one spending advantage, with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) alone spending more than $30 million against him.

His campaign has faced criticism, though, some of which stems from his campaign stops with Piker, who has come under fire for past remarks, including saying America “deserved” the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

On Thursday, while slamming El-Sayed’s opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), Welch told I’ve Had It podcast co-host Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, “What they’re gonna do is they’re gonna say, ‘Abdul El-Sayed — he must be a terrorist. He must be this insane person.’ Well, they’ve run against him, and they can’t dig up any dirt on him. They’ve tried. They said, ‘Oh, he campaigned with Hasan Piker.’ Who gives a sh*t? Tough titties. Get over it.”

She continued:

All of you are campaigning with [Vice President] JD Vance, [top White House political adviser] Stephen Miller, [President] Donald Trump, [Sen.] Ted Cruz [R-TX], etc. Go f*ck yourselves. I am so sick of this bullsh*t narrative that, somehow, who the Democrats campaign with is this horrible thing. Look at the monsters running this country into the ground.

All of the aforementioned figures have been sure to share their negative opinions on El-Sayed in recent days. On Wednesday, Vance told Fox News that he’s one of “these DSA types” — even though the Democratic Socialists of America organization has not endorsed him. Also on Wednesday, Trump called him a “Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel.” Cruz, on the same day, attempted to illustrate familial ties between El-Sayed and terrorist organizations. And Miller, speaking to Welch’s point, ripped the congressional candidate for his ties to Piker.
