On August 11, 2026, Scott Jennings falsely told a nationwide podcast audience that Hasan Piker was "out there calling for Black voters to be lynched." 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."

All of Mr. Jennings' accusations are false. Mr. Piker has never advocated the lynching of Black Americans, or anyone else. He has never called for a return to lynchings. And he has never proposed anything remotely resembling the supposed plan that Mr. Jennings falsely attributed to him.

it's just funny how when you quote right wing commentators saying out of pocket shit everyone's like "erm, akshually it's different in context 🤓" then you look at the context and it actually becomes worse, meanwhile they'll do things like this and it takes a lawsuit for them to even entertain the idea that it was taken out of context

    Think it relevant to note Jennings is a CNN commentator and former White House advisor and not another streamer which is what I assumed when I first read this

    I considered adding CNN reporter to the title but I figured he was famous enough for people to know who he is.

    Hasan said on stream that he suspected Scott Jennings was being considered to be the next White House Press Secretary for Trump.

    Here's the entire context to my knowledge.

    Besides being a twitch streamer, Hasan has started wearing suits and campaigning for certain Democrat candidates (Yuck, I know). Hasan's stipulation for endorsement is that the politician must be anti-Israel, not take money from Israel lobby groups.

    One particular candidate that Hasan has campaigned for is named Abdul El-Sayed for US Senator for Michigan. El-Sayed is a muslim, Egyptian-American, and has multiple medical degrees. El-Sayed is not a socialist and doesn't even call himself a socialist, (Again, yuck). El-Sayed support Bernie Sanders policies such as medicare for all. He's a social democrat and anti-Israel.

    JD Vance has condemned Hasan Piker for campaigning with El-Sayed. Donald Trump has condemned Hasan Piker for campaigning with El-Sayed. Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned Hasan Piker for campaigning with Zohran Mamdani.

    Earlier this year, Trump classified The Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, this means that the US wants to kill members of The Muslim Brotherhood without trial. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Muslim conservative political organization in Egypt. Trump alleges that Abdul El-Sayed is a member of The Muslim Brotherhood because El-Sayed is Muslim and his family is from Egypt. Trump is Islamophobic.

    El-Sayed's political opponent is Republican Mike Rogers. Mike Rogers praised The Muslim Brotherhood in 2011 during the Egyptian Civil War. El-Sayed has not praised The Muslim Brotherhood.

    Scott Jennings is a reporter for CNN. Scott Jennings worked for the campaign staff of GW Bush in 2000 and 2004. Scott Jennings is being considered as possibly the next White House Press Secretary.

    CNN is owned by Warner Brothers. Warner Bros was recently acquired by David Ellison. David Ellison is the son of Larry Ellison. Larry Ellison is friends with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. David Ellison now owns CNN and CBS News. The Ellison family is making both news agencies to have a Zionist bias.

    That is to say that Scott Jennings is also a Zionist. Scott Jennings created a podcast episode or something to attack Abdul El-Sayed. In the video, Scott Jennings created a compilation of clips from Hasan Piker's stream where Hasan sarcastically says like "I'm a racist", out of context. In most of the clips, he's doing a mocking/sarcastic "you caught me" bit.

    One such clip comes from the 2024 election. Hasan criticized Kamala Harris for having anti-immigration campaign policies. Hasan frequently argues with people in the twitch chat. A chatter said that many black people support anti-immigration policies. Hasan replied to the chatter that he doesn't care if hypothetically black people are anti-immigrant because he supports immigrants, he also supports black people. Scott Jennings clipped the video so it said "I don't care what black people think", out of context. Hasan was saying that he doesn't support anti-immigration policies.

    In the Scott Jennings's video, he said that black people should be physically afraid of Abdul El-Sayed and then played the out of context clip compilation. In the tweet, Scott Jennings wrote that Hasan Piker wanted to lynch black people. Scott Jennings urged black people to vote for Republicans for their safety.

    Ken is still on my shit list after he and his fans dogpiled a trans woman on Bluesky for saying that subscribing to the NYT is a bad ally move, blocked a bunch of other trans people for criticizing him, and then giving a self-serving non-apology after people noticed his shitty behavior.

    The lawyers that he hired are the ones that won the Dominion vs. Fox defamation case. Hasan basically got the best in the business lol. They're suing for 72 million too. They can smell the blood in the water. It's such an open and shut case.

    Fuck Scott Jennings. He's such a massive shithead, and I can't wait to see him suffer.

    From the complaint in Piker v. Jennings; of course, this is just Piker's side of the story
