Hasan Piker, a far-left streamer, gained significant attention over the weekend by singing the meme song ‘We Are Charlie Kirk’ during his ‘Fear& LIVE’ tour. His performance sparked a strong reaction online. With a cheering audience, Piker led the singing, delivering lyrics like ‘We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll fight for the Gospel, we’ll honor his name.’ His co-hosts on stage laughed, while Piker remarked that it was one of the most surreal moments of his life.
Piker is known not only for his Twitch streaming but also as a co-host of the comedy and pop culture podcast ‘Fear&,’ which includes three other hosts. The live show tour kicked off on the West Coast in San Francisco on Friday. Piker shared a photo online of himself and his co-hosts, indicating the video captured came from the show.
The song in question is believed to have been AI-generated, released on September 18, 2025, shortly following Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah. It carries the style of a Christian power ballad, featuring lyrics such as ‘He spoke the truth when the cost was high / He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die.’ It has become a meme used online to mock Kirk and conservatives.
Piker is a controversial figure, known for his polarizing rhetoric and hard-left stance, which often makes him a political focal point. His rendition of the song quickly went viral, apparently mocking Kirk, who is held in high regard by many on the political right for establishing Turning Point USA and his work within Republican politics.
‘Hasan Piker is engaging in pure, unadulterated evil,’ said Andrew Kolvet, spokesman for Turning Point, on X. ‘Whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. Proverbs 17:5.’
Investigative reporter Chuck Ross from the Washington Free Beacon added, ‘He’s just a trash human being. Piker was meant to debate Charlie Kirk shortly after his assassination. Piker mentioned how the shooting impacted him, yet he’s now mocking it for his fans.’
Another online commentator expressed, ‘Piker mocking Charlie Kirk on stage is absolutely disgusting.’
In a nod to the song after the show, Piker shared a photo captioned, ‘carried the flame tn,’ referencing the song’s lyric ‘We carry the flame.’
Piker also reposted an account targeting his critics, highlighting, ‘The conservatives crying over Hasan singing a meme song were openly celebrating the murder of American citizens. They don’t care about anything.’
Charlie Kirk founded the conservative group Turning Point USA in his teens. He became known for his viral debates on college campuses and became close to President Donald Trump, playing a crucial role in Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign. Kirk also previously debated Piker on socialism.
Piker’s impact on the Democratic Party has grown, particularly as democratic socialists gain prominence in the 2026 election cycle. He has supported several key candidates, including Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Fox News Digital sought comment from Piker.
