Debbie Dingell after she argued Republicans are trying to make Michigan’s Senate race about socialist streamer Hasan Piker, with critics saying her frustration only highlighted a political vulnerability for Democrats. "Debbie Dingell CRASHES OUT over terrorist-sympathizer Hasan Piker who has called to kill Republicans,’" wrote the Republican National Committee’s research account. Critics took aim at Dingell for campaigning with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed after she told reporters she was done answering questions about Piker, whose past inflammatory remarks have drawn renewed scrutiny and pressure on Democrats to respond.

And I’m still trying to figure out, is it the reason he exercises and looks buff is why he has so many followers," she added. Dingell’s office also told Fox News Digital that she would not answer further questions about Piker. "Congresswoman Dingell made clear this afternoon she will not answer any more questions about him.
