A major streamer reacted live to President Donald Trump calling out ‘influencers’ during his speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial.
The president made an appearance at the memorial last night (September 21), which included talks from multiple people including Vice President JD Vance and Kirk’s wife Erika.
Addressing the crowd at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Trump claimed that there were influencers online who had greeted Kirk’s assassination with ‘sick approval’ and ‘even jubilation’.
The president said: “Some of the very same people who spent the last eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics suddenly started cheering for a murder. Incredible.

“You know the names, they’re major losers by the way, that will be proven out in a short period of time.
“Some of the very people who call you a hater for using the wrong pronoun were filled with glee at the killing of a father with two beautiful young children, and the same commentators who this week are screaming ‘fascism’ over a canceled late night TV show where the anchor had no talent and no ratings, last week were implying that Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him.”
Popular left-wing streamer Hasan Piker reacted to the clip live on his Twitch account, remarking ‘oh my god’ as the president spoke.
Piker went on to joke: “I love Donald Trump, Mr President, I love you so much,” before running off screen to grab a red MAGA hat.
Returning to his seat, Piker said: “I think we’re good, I think we’re good, I think we’re good, we might be safe.”
Many viewers took to social media to react to Piker’s video, with one user writing on X, formerly Twitter: “Imagine delivering this type of message at a memorial service.”
Another said: “Not even Donald Trump is safe from the chair react.”
A third person commented: “Ok credit where credit is due. Grabbing the MAGA hat was pretty funny.”
And a fourth added: “No capping, I would be s****ing my pants if I were Hasan.”
Kirk was killed earlier this month (September) when he was struck in the neck by a gunshot while on stage at Utah Valley University (UVU).
The political commentator was making an appearance there as part of his ‘American Comeback’ tour.
An FBI manhunt for the shooter ensued and 22 year old Tyler Robinson was later arrested under suspicion of murder.
