The prominent socialist political commentator and influencer Hasan Piker is suing his conservative counterpart Scott Jennings for $72.5m over comments on a podcast that he said portrayed him as “a violent racist” who advocated the lynching of Black people.
“He falsely told his listeners that Mr Piker had a ‘plan of returning our country to lynchings’. And then he falsely told his social media followers that Mr Piker ‘says the USA should resume lynchings against black people’,” the document said.

Scott Jennings is an asshole. Another reason not to watch CNN.
