Popular Twitch streamer Hasan Piker was banned from the streaming platform after suggesting Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) should be killed for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid.

While discussing House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments claiming the Medicaid program has $50 billion in fraud, the 33-year-old streamer suggested politicians, including Johnson, go after people such as Scott, whose company Columbia/HCA was fined $1.7 billion in 2004 for defrauding Medicare recipients and military families out of millions of dollars, per The Miami Herald.
