Story summary

HasanAbi, a Twitch streamer, recently appeared in a video singing a song called "We Are Charlie Kirk" with a group of people. The song is about Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator who was murdered last year. HasanAbi's appearance in the video sparked criticism from other internet personalities, including xQc, Asmongold, and Steven "Destiny". In response, HasanAbi accused his critics of being "worm-like individuals" and said their opinion of him couldn't be lower. He also suggested that he was being judged unfairly because of his political views.

This controversy began after a video of HasanAbi singing the song surfaced, with some people criticizing him for appearing to mock Charlie Kirk's murder. However, Daniel McCarthy, an author for the New York Post, argues that HasanAbi's actions are not just about mocking Charlie Kirk, but also about stirring up hate and hostility towards his audience's perceived enemies.

The exact date of the incident is unclear, with one article stating it occurred on August 23, 2026, while another does not provide a specific date.
