Twitch Bans Hasan Piker After Hypothetical About Republicans Killing Senator Rick Scott
Briefly

Hasan Piker, a left-leaning streamer on Twitch, has been banned for the fifth time after making comments about Florida Senator Rick Scott during a stream. Piker highlighted Scott's past involvement in Medicaid fraud while critiquing Republican priorities related to welfare entitlements. Following the ban, he expressed disdain for conservative critics of his statements, questioning their genuine concern for Medicaid. Twitch has not officially stated the reason for his ban but has policies against comments that incite harm or hate towards individuals, which may apply to Piker's commentary on Scott.
"If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud you would kill Rick Scott... you wouldn't make him the fucking head of the Senate Committee."
"Big shout out to the right wing free speech lovers who took time out of their day screaming about dei & immigrants, to cry abt this!"
