Published 1 month ago
Description
In this fiery, no-nonsense episode of The Rita Cosby Show host Rita Cosby exposes the growing fractures, controversial alliances, and rising radicalism within the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).The spotlight is turned on the massive influence of left-wing streamer Hasan Piker on Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Cosby dissects El-Sayed's recent C-SPAN appearance, calling out his calculated attempts to distance himself from Piker’s most toxic rhetoric—including his notorious "America deserved 9/11" comments—by brushing Piker off as just a "random California streamer".
Meanwhile, in New York, Zohran Mamdani sparks fierce public outrage after releasing a deeply sympathetic tribute to a Rikers Island inmate who died in custody.
