Hasan Piker's underwear photo at RNC convention goes viral after jumbotron display

President Donald Trump’s Republican midterm convention displayed a photo of left-wing streamer Hasan Piker posing in his underwear on the big screen Wednesday night, September 9, prompting a viral reaction from Piker. The picture appeared in a narrated video on the stadium jumbotron during the first day of the two-day convention in Dallas, Texas. Piker, watching online, shared the clip on Instagram and X, joking the image might help turn Texas blue. Other convention footage included Democratic strategist James Carville criticizing Piker, Trump’s comments on communism, and Black Lives Matter protest clips. Piker has endorsed Democratic candidate James Talarico over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
