Hasan Piker is a far-left provocateur who RedState’s Brandon Morse calls the “Left’s It Boy” and a “man of privilege and wealth who larps as a communist and is actively a terrorist sympathizer.”
Meanwhile, “Medea” Benjamin, born with the less dramatic first name Susan, is a co-founder of the radical anti-war, anti-American group CODEPINK, which is comprised almost entirely of people who want to attend protests every day of their lives and cozy up to regimes hostile to the United States.
Now the pair has been subpoenaed by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control in their probe of whether the two and others violated U.S. sanctions laws while attempting to help the communist government of the República de Cuba.
Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
The administrative subpoenas — called “Requests for Information,” or RFI — seek financial, logistical and communications information revolving around trips the two widely bragged about making to the island nation in March with delegations of the “Nuestra América Convoy,” or “Our America Convoy,” from a global network of communist sympathizers, activists and influencers who brought supplies to the country’s ruling Communist Party of Cuba, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The diabolical duo went to aid and abet our enemies after they became outraged by the United States cutting off their oil and issuing punishing sanctions and embargoes. And they brought along the offspring of another anti-American activist:
Piker and others, including Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi, traveled to Cuba in March in support of the regime amid sanctions and embargoes from the United States against the communist power. The move was part of an international outcry by leftist activists following the United States indictment and ouster of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
Since the indictment dropped on Wednesday, numerous left-wing groups, including CODEPINK, immediately ramped up their fundraising and lobbying efforts on behalf of the dictatorial Cuban regime that has sunk the country into such misery. Why anyone would advocate for the cruel failure that is today’s Cuba is hard to fathom.
One reason might be that they never have to actually live the life of your average repressed resident. Here’s Piker in country with another CODEPINK co-founder, the demonically grinning Jodie Evans, who is married to the socialist sympathizing tech multi-millionaire, Neville Roy Singham. He throws hundreds of millions at pro-China and pro-Cuba efforts:

Piker and “Medea” are both loudmouths who love to spout inflammatory rhetoric for clicks, but they may have stepped over the line this time with their actions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has shown repeatedly that he’s not playing games against geopolitical foes like Iran and Cuba, and his department just proved that they’re not going to simply look the other way for those who help them.
These two should spend all day Sunday doubling up on lawyers.
