(The Daily Signal)—Self-described Marxist influencer Hasan Piker—who has advocated violence against capitalists while flying first class and reportedly charging up to $100,000 for speaking appearances—has drawn sharp criticism from Republican officials who accuse him of working against the United States.
“I think we’re ultimately going to find that there’s a massive problem in this country with so-called social media influencers that are really just agents of foreign countries,” Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., said.
Fine accused Piker of previously saying that “America deserved 9/11,” “overall, my favorite flag is Hezbollah,” and “kill the mother******s, let the streets soak in their red, capitalist blood.”
“These people are dangerous threat to the country,” Fine continued. Piker, he said, also exemplifies what he described as the “scam of birthright tourism.”
“We have allowed foreign agents to bring people to the United States, have a kid, take them home, make them hate America, and then release them into our country, which is why we’ve got to stop this, and we have to, you know, end the plague of paperwork Americans in this country.”
Piker was born in New Jersey to Turkish parents who moved to the United States in the 1990s. He later moved back to Turkey, where he grew up, before returning to the United States at age 18 to attend Rutgers University.
Last week, Piker announced that he is under investigation by the Treasury Department over a recent trip to Cuba’s communist regime, which he said was organized by the nonprofit organization CODEPINK.
Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. citizen living in China, has been accused of funding left-leaning nonprofit organizations in the United States, including CODEPINK, The People’s Forum, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation—groups Piker has worked with and traveled to Cuba alongside.
The House Ways and Means Committee has been probing those organizations and their nonprofit status since the start of President Donald Trump’s administration.
Fine accused Piker of being “so dumb” that he “admitted” to being funded by nonprofits that may be tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
“I think clearly we’re going to see it with his son Piker, who’s basically admitted it,” Fine said. “You know, he my understanding is he, he’s so dumb. He went on his little show and talked about how he’s funded by China.”
On his show, Piker said that “I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink—like anything that he has ever financed.”
“Not sure how much money he has now, but he’s been a funding vehicle for a lot of political movements in the country, like a lot of activism, and they hate that s—, so they’re trying to jam them up,” he added.
As first reported by the Washington Reporter, Piker has also called for the assassination of Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., during a livestream on social media.
Scott praised the federal investigation into the left-wing influencer as “good” and has repeatedly urged consequences for institutions that host or promote him.
“Democrats are campaigning with this guy. The Democrat Party supports this stuff,” Scott said after Piker spoke at an event at Yale University. “Yale, if they want to go support somebody that wants to see a capitalist murdered in this country, right, so I don’t want them to get any federal funding. I mean, it’s pretty simple to me. They shouldn’t be doing this.”
Scott, who is scheduled to host a tele-town hall with Fine on June 4, added that “these universities can do whatever they want,” but should not expect federal funding if “they want to support people that want to murder me and murder capitalists and are antisemitic and say that Americans deserve 9/11.”
Piker has also campaigned alongside Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who justified antisemitic terror from an Islamic radical in March, said he does not want to condemn the death of a now-deceased Iranian Supreme Leader because it would upset voters, and acknowledged difficulty answering whether Israel should be a Jewish state during an appearance at Michigan State University.
Piker did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
