MAGA lawmaker calls for progressive American Hasan Piker to be banned from his own country
Jun 3, 2026 - World 
Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) said he thinks progressive influencer Hasan Piker should be banned from the United States after the United Kingdom blocked his visit with fellow commentator and his uncle, Cenk Uygur, TMZ reported on Wednesday.The MAGA lawmaker was walking on Capitol Hill when a TMZ reporter asked Fine to comment on Piker's entry to the country being revoked over the weekend. The two were scheduled to speak at the SXSW London Festival but were turned away "because of their criticism of Israel," The BBC reported."Well I don't think he should be allowed into America, so I think that's a good start," Fine said. The TMZ reporter responded and asked Fine, "What about freedom of speech?""People have freedom of speech but I think when you're a terrorist you should be held responsible for that," Fine said. "And I think he's clearly a supporter of terror. He's a walking billboard for the problem of birth tourism. He was brought here by his Turkish family, they had him, then they took him home, made him hate America, then sent him in to torment us. The guy's a horrible human being and I wouldn't let him into my country if it was up to me, so I don't blame them."Piker, who is an American citizen, has condemned Islamophobia and been an outspoken critic of MAGA and the Trump administration. He has a large social media following, primarily through streaming on Twitch and weighing in on political topics. He frequently discusses social issues and engages in debates with commentators across the political spectrum.The reporter pushed back again and suggested that "banning him from a country is [a] pretty crazy step for someone who is expressing his opinion.""And by the way, they're allowed to do that," Fine said.When the reporter pressed the Republican again on freedom of speech, he repeated his talking point."He promotes Muslim terror, so I think they're making the right decision," said Fine, making the unsubstantiated claim. "I'm surprised they did it but I think they did the right thing."Rep. Randy Fine tells @hicharliecotton that Hasan Piker should not only be banned in the UK... but also in the U.S. ???? pic.twitter.com/G5nvjz0C9R— TMZ (@TMZ) June 3, 2026
