哈森·皮克尔誓言，若塔拉里科赢得参议员选举，他将施压对方推行极左翼施政议程
左翼网红哈森·皮克尔在一次校园活动中承诺，如果民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科赢得得州参议院席位，他将施压对方落实激进的左翼政策。
极左翼主播哈森·皮克尔在呼吁得州参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科若在今年中期选举中当选，需“配合”以左翼立场执政后，在网上遭到大量批评。
塔拉里科正竞逐三十多年来首位当选得州联邦参议员的民主党人，他此前已公开调整部分激进立场，并试图以更温和的纲领参选，尽管他此前曾发表过相关言论。
但曾因与密歇根州社会主义派系参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德合作而声名鹊起的皮克尔，似乎希望塔拉里科在11月胜选后搞“挂羊头卖狗肉”的把戏。
“希望詹姆斯·塔拉里科胜选后，我们必须让他兑现承诺，”皮克尔在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的一场校园活动中说道，“我们必须确保他不会成为另一个‘无所作为的民主党人’‘一切照旧’，我们必须持续施加压力。”

随着竞选推进，塔拉里科已收回部分争议言论，比如他曾声称“上帝是非二元性别的”。但他仍支持全民医保等进步政策，称自己的信仰源于“圣经教义”。
皮克尔近期的言论迅速成为共和党人的攻击武器。塔拉里科的对手、共和党参议院候选人肯·帕克斯顿以及得州联邦参议员特德·克鲁兹都抓住此事不放，声称皮克尔是在“说出大家心知肚明的事”，并暗示若塔拉里科当选代表得克萨斯州进入美国参议院，他将面临党内左翼阵营的压力。
“詹姆斯·塔拉里科已被民主社会主义者买通，”帕克斯顿在社交媒体上针对皮克尔有关塔拉里科的言论回应道，“如果他胜选，他们将以牺牲你们为代价牟取私利：提高你的税收，让生活成本更高，以推行他们的激进议程。得克萨斯承担不起塔拉里科的代价。”
特德·克鲁兹在X平台上发文称：“当他们展现真实面目时……相信他们。”

“詹姆斯·塔拉里科不过是激进左翼的傀儡，”得克萨斯州联邦众议员布兰登·吉尔发帖称。
过去几年，皮克尔在左翼阵营声名鹊起，最引人注目的是与埃尔赛义德一同竞选。如今包括埃尔赛义德在内的民主党人都与皮克尔划清界限，此前他的诸多争议言论引发众怒——比如他声称“美国活该遭遇9·11袭击”。
“叫嚣‘美国活该遭遇9·11’的哈森·皮克尔，指望詹姆斯·塔拉里科支持他的极端议程，并听命于他的支持者，”福克斯新闻政治分析师盖伊·本森警告道。
“他自以为是黑帮老大，而如今民主党已癫狂，他多少有点说对了……”戴夫·鲁宾发帖称。
纽约市议会议员维基·帕拉迪诺表示：“哈森·皮克尔说他才是民主党真正的掌权者。”
皮克尔的言论，加上塔拉里科在进步派与温和派言论之间反复横跳，引发了人们对这位得州民主党人若当选后的施政方向的质疑。
“看看哈森·皮克尔——一名直言不讳的社会主义者、以色列的反对者、资本主义的对头——他明确说出了自己期望当选参议员后的詹姆斯·塔拉里科会怎么做，”一名网友发帖称，“他说‘我们必须提醒[詹姆斯]，是我们支持了他……是我们帮他当选的，我们希望他牢记这一点，乖乖听话。’每一位共和党人、无党派人士，甚至每一位有常识的民主党人，只要考虑投票给塔拉里科，都应该看看这段视频并深思熟虑。”
“不投票给塔拉里科的一大理由是，他必须听命于党内的法西斯派系，”另一名网友发帖称，“算了吧。”

其他社交媒体用户则认为，皮克尔的言论与塔拉里科的竞选无关，不会影响塔拉里科当选后带入参议院的施政纲领。
“哈森赶紧闭嘴吧，”一位名为亚当·科克伦的X平台用户发帖称，“他和塔拉里科的竞选毫无关系。塔拉里科的竞选成功，靠的是他的道德准则、政策主张，以及他勤奋的团队为得州民众所做的 outreach（ outreach此处译为“ outreach outreach译为“外联推广”）。”
“哈森到底在说什么，”另一名网友发帖称，“塔拉里科不是民主社会主义者组织（DSA）成员，也不欠民主社会主义者组织任何东西。他将成为代表得州人的参议员，而不是像哈森那样的加州社会主义者。”
塔拉里科的竞选团队未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

Socialist streamer Hasan Piker faces fury after pressuring Talarico to enact far-left policy if elected
Twitch streamer Hasan Piker’s remarks at UT Austin gave Republicans ammunition ahead of the Texas Senate race

Hasan Piker vows to pressure Talarico to govern with far-left agenda if he wins election
Left-wing influencer Hasan Piker vowed during a campus appearance that he would pressure Democrat James Talarico to enforce an active left-wing agenda if he wins his election for Senate.
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker is getting dragged online after calling for Texas Senate nominee James Talarico to “play ball” by governing as a leftist if elected in this year’s midterms.
Talarico, running to be the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Texas in more than three decades, has publicly realigned on some of his more radical stances and tried to campaign on a more moderate platform despite his previous comments.
But Piker, who has gained prominence through his relationship with socialist-aligned Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, appears to want Talarico to pull a bait-and-switch if he wins in November.
“Hopefully, after James Talarico wins, we’ve got to hold him to account,” Piker said during a campus event at the University of Texas at Austin. “We’ve got to make sure that he doesn’t become another, ‘do nothing Democrat’ ‘business as usual,’ and we’ve got to keep up that pressure.

As his campaign has progressed, Talarico has rolled back on some of his controversial statements like his claim that “God is non-binary.” But he continues to back progressive policies like universal healthcare, arguing his beliefs stem from “biblical grounds.”
Piker’s recent remarks quickly became ammunition for Republicans. Talarico’s opponent, GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pounced, claiming that Piker is saying the quiet part out loud and showing the pressure Talarico could face from the party’s left flank if he were to ascend to the U.S. Senate representing the Lone Star State.
“James Talarico is bought and paid for by the Democratic Socialists,” Paxton posted in response to Piker’s comments on Talarico. “And if he wins, they’ll cash in at YOUR expense: raising your taxes and making life more expensive to pay for their radical agenda. Texas can’t afford Talarico.”
Ted Cruz said on X: “When they tell you who they are…believe them.”

“James Talarico will be nothing more than a puppet of the radical left,” Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas posted.
Piker erupted in the left-wing party over the past couple years, most notably campaigning with El-Sayed. Democrats, including El-Sayed, are now distancing themselves from Piker after many of his controversial statements caught heat — like his claim that “America deserved 9/11.”
“Hasan ‘America Deserved 9/11’ Piker expects James Talarico would support his extreme agenda & be beholden to his base,” Fox News Political Analyst Guy Benson warned.
“He think he’s a mafia boss, and with the psychotic state of today’s Democrat party, he’s kinda right…” Dave Rubin posted.
New York City Council member Vickie Paladino said, “Hasan Piker says he’s the one actually in charge of the Democrat party.”
Piker’s comments, mixed with Talarico’s back-and-forth from progressive to moderate rhetoric, have sparked skepticism about the direction the Texas Democrat would take in governing if elected.
“Here we have Hasan Piker—an outspoken socialist, hater of Israel and opponent of capitalism — telling us exactly what he expects from James Talarico if elected,” one user posted. “He says, ‘We gotta remind [James] that we are the force that backed him…’ and got him elected and that we expect him to remember that and fall in line. Every Republican, Independent and even common-sense Democrat even thinking about voting for Talarico needs to see this and think deeply about it.”
“A huge reason not to vote for Talarico he has to answer to the Fascist wing of his party,” another posted. “No thanks.”

Other users on social media argued Piker’s comments are irrelevant to Talarico’s campaign, and would not impact the agenda he would bring to the Senate if elected.
“Hasan needs to shut the hell up,” a X user named Adam Cochran posted. “He has nothing to do with Talarico’s campaign. Talarico’s campaign is the success of Talarico’s morals, policies and his hard working team’s outreach to the people of Texas.”
“What is Hasan even talking about,” another user posted. “Talarico isn’t DSA and doesn’t owe DSA anything. He will be a senator that represents Texans, not California Socialists like Hasan.”
Talarico’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
