September 2, 2026Condemned
Addressed record
Yousef's remarks and the audience applause constituted anti-Muslim hate and warranted an apology and repudiation from the summit and its sponsors.
“The answer is 100%. Yes, he does agree with that. That's why they're very excited about it.”
Speaker capacity
Political livestreamer and commentator
Editorial rationale
In context, Piker read a description of Yousef and Saad as professional bigots, said 'Yeah,' presented Yousef's statement, and accused Greenblatt of agreement. That amounts to condemnation, although the quoted line is directed at Greenblatt's alleged complicity.
