Tom Tiffany criticized Hong for appearing alongside Piker.\u00a0\u201cFrancesca Hong choosing to campaign with individuals who said America \u2018deserved 9\/11,\u2019 called communism the \u2018honorable end goal,\u2019 and believe capitalists should be killed is certainly a choice,\u201d his campaign said in a statement.\u00a0Hong defended her choice to appear alongside Piker, claiming that she was running to represent a broad coalition.\u201cIt would be a risk not to try to build the broadest coalition possible,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that one of the reasons we see Republicans or the Right attack leaders, like Representative [Omar] and Hasan, is because they know that they\u2019re losing, that the people are powerful and want the issues that they fight for.\u201dShe previously appeared on Piker\u2019s stream to raise money for her campaign. That appearance earned a condemnation from Democratic rival and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.\u201cI am open to all reasonable, pragmatic conversations about how to move our state forward, but Hasan Piker\u2019s statements are beyond the pale and I would not appear with him if invited,\u201d he said. \u201cThis race isn\u2019t about who can generate the most viewers on their livestream by making outrageous and offensive statements.\u201dThe Wisconsin primary is set for August 11.","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-08-03T16:08:48+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Swing State Governor Candidate Doubles Down On Radicalism In Event With Hasan Piker","datePublished":"2026-08-03T16:08:48+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979"},"wordCount":517,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/b61529bf2f5063d28ac91a13e58ecc64.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1979","name":"Swing State Governor Candidate Doubles Down On Radicalism In Event With Hasan Piker -
