H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein has accused Twitch streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" of promoting violence against government officials while reacting to the latter's addressal at a recently held Anti-ICE Benefit event. For context, at the event, Hasan had talked about threats received by a government official that had supposedly forced them to resign.Posting in his Instagram Story a clip of Hasan discussing the matter, Ethan Klein criticized what he deemed as encouragement of "death threats" by the left-wing political commentator against those working in the government:"Hasan encourages death threats against officials, “he's resigning!”. He's thrilled that it worked."Furthermore, Klein claimed that Hasan's comments were a "reference to assassinating" the POTUS and should therefore be considered "directly responsible" for future political violence in the United States:"He then goes onto 'someone needs to do it', which is a reference to assassinating the president. Hasan is directly responsible for political violence that has and will occur here in the USA.""Untapped revolutionary potential": HasanAbi comments during recent Anti-ICE event prompts criticism from Ethan KleinHasanAbi is an outspoken critic of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, even having hosted an on-field livestream at the peak of the anti-ICE riots that were taking place across Los Angeles in early June, 2025.In a clip recorded at a recently held Anti-ICE Benefit event, Hasan can be heard discussing how individuals are becoming more "radical" in the ways they pursue government officials, while seemingly discussing an incident in which an individual threatened violence against an official while mentioning their actual address. HasanAbi stated:"'874 Bellevue Drive and I'm going to kill you with my AR-15,' like, that's the type of messages they were leaving in this dude's office, and he was resigning. So, I think that people are a lot more radical now. This is an unprecedented time to really get others on board to explain to them that it's not your neighbors, it's not like a Guatemalan migrant that is responsible for all this sh** that you're going through on a daily basis."Going further, he claimed that there was building resentment among citizens, which was building up to "untapped revolutionary potential":"...It was a great video where you talked about, you know, someone has to do it. See, when I say that, everyone knows exactly what I mean. I think that shows there is a lot of anger, a lot of resentment, and untapped revolutionary potential, as a matter of fact. It's a great opportunity for organizing, I think, in these unprecentedly horrible times."This is not the first time HasanAbi has been involved in a controversy, with him often making remarks online that make him the target of critique by both netizens as well as fellow content creators.
