Hasan Piker, the far-left streamer known for his radical views and public belief that “America deserved 9/11” has provided his full-throated endorsement of Maine Governor Janet Mills (D-Maine), declaring himself a member of the notorious “Mills Militia”.

The announcement, which surfaced on social media early Tuesday, arrives at a time when Piker finds himself increasingly embroiled in controversy for already teaming up with other Democrat ringleaders between rising criticism from his own allies.
Piker’s endorsement of Gov. Mills points to division evolving amongst institutional candidates and those with a more radical left-wing approach, as it becomes pertinent to Maine.
Piker has a long history of radical-rhetoric including assertions that “America deserved 9/11” and claims that Hamas is the “lesser of two evils”. The vocal Democrat influencer has also downplayed the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, drawing broad criticism from leadership within his own party.
His controversial and inflammatory statements have made him an attractive, but polarizing figure among younger, more radical left-wing voters.
The same edgy aura is mirrored in Graham Platner’s campaign, where he seeks to bring a sense of revolutionary change against institutional leaders by mobilizing young progressive voters, often through socialist rhetoric and symbology.
The pattern here is that Piker’s endorsement of Mills appears to be an attempt to lure radical young voters away from Platner and towards the aging governor.
According to a post on X by Townhall, Piker framed his unwavering support for Mills in a militant fashion, proceeding to proclaim that he is “part of the Janet Mills militia,” and he is “Mills Mafia.” Piker finished by stating he is “Janet Mills all the way”, shaping his statements into a clear political endorsement.
For a sitting governor like Mills who is experiencing election turbulence against a younger and more popular candidate like Platner, the symbolic weight of the endorsement extends beyond online engagement.
Piker’s involvement in Maine politics springs onto the scene as he is scheduled to appear at various rallies for Democrats supported by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) in efforts to elect Abdul El-Sayed as a Democrat to the Senate, observed in FOX reporting.
El-Sayed’s primary opponents, blue state leaders Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Michigan) and State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Michigan), have argued that associating with Piker only creates division in a time when unity is needed most.
The endorsement reveals a glimpse into the evolving forces shaping the modern Democratic Party’s strategy, all while dragging Maine into a bigger game being played.
Maybe he is also attracted to her. Hubba hubba.
Ewww gross, I think I just threw up in my mouth. She is not smart enough to be a mob boss. And he is gutter trash, just how she likes her men. If he doesn’t like Americans, get the F out and take your ignorant girlfriend with you.
Didn’t Mills drop out of Colby to go be a hippie in California?
Anyway, a century ago, the Klu Klux Klan was a big national movement, it was really big in Maine, and they were all Democrats too. Maine wire won’t let me post URLs, but Google Klanbake for the details of the 1924 DEMOCRATIC presidential convention.
History tends to repeat itself
A Commie AND an Islamist. That describes the Democratic Party these days.
Should it really be a surprise that an avowed Communist would support Mills?? Look at her record.
Piker is a prime example of an undesirable who should be shown the door with a one-way ticket to Gaza where I’m sure he will be embraced then shortly thereafter beaten and beheaded by those who gave us “what we deserved”. Too bad dueling got outlawed but you’d never get a sniffling bottom feeder like Piker to standup against a slap and back his big mouth when the stakes got too real. And poor Janet, she has been grifted by Somalis, berated by Trump and is about to complete eight of the most useless years of public service in the books. She needs one more anchor to submerge her national ambitions and here he slithers. Bravo.
That’s the great thing about America!
Everybody is entitled to expressing their own opinion, no matter how fkn stupid.
He’s no different than the average Janet Mills supporter.
He can crawl back under the rock he came from.
She’s pathetic! She sees the writing on the wall. Don’t let the state house door hit ya on the way out. Good riddens Gov 👏👋
Where does he live…just asking for a friend who wants to send him a Christmas card…
Mills’ main policy agenda has been equal rights for women in Maine Gov’t. That’s fine if they are honest, qualified, and competent.
