Controversial far-left streamer and democratic socialist cheerleader Hasan Piker was seen and heard mockingly singing the meme song “We Are Charlie Kirk” at a stop of his “Fear& LIVE” tour over the weekend.

The performance drew cheers and laughter from his audience but quite a different reaction online from those who supported or wrote about the influential 31-year-old conservative activist who was assassinated in front of a large audience last September during an appearance at a Utah Valley University.

Dressed in what is becoming his trademark Maoist grey suit, Piker sang, “We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll fight for the Gospel, we’ll honor his name.”

Piker sang and audience members joined in as they followed the words of the song scrolled by on a large screen behind the stage. Piker’s co-hosts laughed and one waved his lit cellphone over his head like an enraptured fan at a pop concert.

After he finished, Piker told the audience screaming in delight, “that was the most surreal moment in my entire life.”

Piker co-hosts with three others the weekly comedy and pop culture podcast “Fear& Live.”

Their live show is on a West Coast swing that began Friday in San Francisco, where the video appeared to be shot, according to a photo Piker shared online of him and his co-hosts.

The Piker and his audience mocked what is thought to be AI-generated tribute tune released just eight days after Kirk’s assassination by an alleged gunman with a high velocity hunting rifle fired from a nearby rooftop.

“We Are Charlie Kirk” is in the style of a Christian power ballad, with lyrics like, “He spoke the truth when the cost was high / He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die.”

Piker is not alone in his brutal post-mortem treatment of the beloved activist only a couple weeks before the anniversary of his death. The song is frequently used online in memes to mock the Turning Point USA founder and other conservatives, Fox News reported.

His performance Friday became a viral lightning rod online for critics.

“Hasan Piker is engaging in pure, unadulterated evil,” Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote on X. “Whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. Proverbs 17:5.”

Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross wrote on X:

“He’s just a trash human being. Piker was supposed to debate Charlie Kirk a few days after he was assassinated. Piker actually talked about how much the shooting shook him. Now, he’s mocking it all for the pleasure of his loser fans.”

The callous performance even drew a reaction from Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, who posted on X he was more shocking than Piker was the “ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views.”

Ironically, another X account put up video showing Kirk and Piker joking with one another and the conservative activist even giving the left-wing streamer a friendly fist bump on the shoulder.

In the past, Kirk had debated Piker on socialism.

According to Fox News:

Piker’s influence over the Democratic Party as democratic socialists are ascendant in the 2026 cycle has become one of the top media stories of the cycle. He has campaigned alongside several prominent candidates, including Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

The cable news outlet also reported that Piker also reposted an account going after his critics, which read, “The same conservatives crying over Hasan singing a meme song were openly celebrating the murder of American citizens. These people don’t care about anything.”

It hasn’t been made clear what “murder of American citizens” Piker was talking talking about.
