Hasan Piker's Underwear Photo Shown at RNC Event in Dallas

Left-wing political streamer Hasan Piker expressed shock after a photo of him in underwear appeared on screens at the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday. He reacted live on stream, exclaiming disbelief at the image’s display. The photograph flashed briefly in a video behind the stage during the event’s opening day. Republicans are increasingly using Piker, a self-described socialist with a large following, to represent the Democratic Party’s left flank ahead of November’s midterms. The Dallas gathering is a two-day “special ceremonial convention” celebrating President Donald Trump’s accomplishments, not a nominating event. Delegates cannot conduct formal party business or hold elections, and the RNC has not yet commented on the incident.
