Sara Fischer: Abdul El-Sayed Distances Himself from Hasan Piker Because They Don’t Have Shared Values

EXCERPT:

FISCHER: “Well, when you think about a surrogate, which is a voice that you’re using from the outside to promote your campaign, you typically want it to be somebody who shares your values. And so, I think the challenge here with Piker, and why El-Sayed is trying to distance himself, is because he’s clearly saying, we don’t have shared values. This is not the person that should be the surrogate for me. I also want to note that, when it comes to Twitch, the way that you engage an audience, the way that you’re successful is by being intense.”
