Hasan Piker Had a Brutal Interview and the Worst Part Is That It Was Supposed to Be Satire– townhall.com

Even satirical interviews can be especially brutal.

On Monday, Nigerian-American comedian, writer, and actress Ziwe Fumudoh, best known for turning celebrity interviews into polite interrogations, released one with socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Ziwe’s interviews have long specialized in making her subjects squirm, and Piker, with his online fame, leftist politics, and conspicuously comfortable lifestyle, offered her an unusually rich target.

Ziwe over the course of just a couple of minutes had Piker model his “communist-style” suit for the camera, like a performing monkey, before asking whether he had always aspired to be a champagne socialist. From there, the questions only got more awkward: his recent Oscars appearance, and the not-so-small matter of reconciling his politics with his $2.7 million California mansion.

To appreciate just how uncomfortable it gets, you really have to watch it.

Incredible. This is one of the most glorious takedowns of modern socialism you will watch this week Hasan Piker is mocked for playing commie dress up, attending the Oscars, and owning a $2.7 mil home. https://t.co/xS55NDXQ2a

“You kind of look like a communist,” Ziwe said to Piker, who wore a Mao Zedong style suit.

“Thank you. I got this in China,” Piker said.

“Really?”

“It’s the only tailored suit I own,” he added.
