Hasan Piker sings mocking 'We Are Charlie Kirk' song at live podcast show
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker was seen and heard singing the meme song "We Are Charlie Kirk" at a stop of his "Fear& LIVE" tour over the weekend, drawing a strong reaction online.
Leading a cheering crowd, Piker sang, "We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We'll fight for the Gospel, we'll honor his name," while his co-hosts could be seen laughing on stage. At one point, Piker could appear to be heard saying it was one of the most surreal moments of his life.
Piker, in addition to his streaming on Twitch, co-hosts the weekly comedy and pop culture podcast "Fear&," along with three others. 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 song, thought to be AI-generated, was released on Sept. 18, 2025, shortly after Kirk's assassination in Utah. It 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."

It is frequently used online in memes to mock Kirk and conservatives.
Piker, who has become a political lightning rod for his controversial rhetoric and hard-left views, quickly went viral with the song that appeared to be mocking Kirk, who was revered by many on the political right for his founding of Turning Point USA and work in Republican politics.
"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."
"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 Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross wrote.
"[Hasan] Piker making fun of Charlie Kirk on stage… absolutely disgusting," another account wrote.
Piker appeared to make a nod to the song after the show, posting a photo of the show with the caption, "carried the flame tn." One of the song's lyrics is, "We carry the flame."

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."
Kirk founded the conservative group Turning Point USA as a teenager and was known for his viral debates on college campuses, in addition to becoming a close ally of President Donald Trump and was a key figure in his 2024 re-election. Kirk also previously debated Piker on socialism.
