Local TV station FOX 2 invited Michigan Senate candidates Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers for a debate.

Mike Rogers chickened out.

it's full 55 minutes!! i-cant

oh for fuck's sake, they're holding a fucking twitch streamer to a higher standard than the goddamn president.

Abdul is a damn fool liberal for caving to the question, you apologize once you'll apologize forever, he had all the ammunition he needed to reject the question outright in any number of ways

I hope he looks forward to them asking him the same question today, and tomorrow, and the next day......

and the apology is not going to matter at all, they'll just move the goalposts: "Why didn't you condemn him sooner?? Why do you still believe everything Hasan Piker says??? Why is Hasan Piker secretly your best friend???"

you can literally just keep saying "STFU he's a streamer, ask me about real shit." emilie-shrug
