Turkish-American streamer HasanAbi has reportedly accused mainstream media of "actively laundering" Biden's reputation. His comments came soon after it was revealed Biden's prostate cancer has aggressively spread to his "bones." The official statement shared by news outlets revealed he was diagnosed on May 16 after he was admitted for checking "urinary symptoms." The statement added that the cancer is "hormone sensitive" which allows for "hormone management."

Piker, however, slammed media outlets and claimed that his cancer diagnosis doesn't change other political actions. He also took to his social media and posted a picture of a news report, and added a comment,

"HOPE THIS DOESNT RUIN HIS 2028 RUN?"

He has previously spoken of reasons to not endorse Joe Biden's campaign in 2024. He spoke to The Wired in 2024 and noted that he is unsure if he would vote, but spoke in support of the Voting Uncommitted campaign.

Piker's comments come after he recently took to his social media that he had been stopped at the US Custom and Border Protection upon his re-entry to the US. He described it as "very strange" and claimed that he was asked about his political affiliations. He revealed,

"Got stopped by CBP for additional questioning. They asked me abt my job (they knew already), Trump, Israel, Houthis, Hamas. Even Twitch bans. Out now."
