BREAKING: MAGA hack Scott Jennings gets hit with a massive $72.5 million lawsuit for defaming progressive streamer Hasan Piker. And it's an absolute slam dunk of a case... Piker, who has become the Republican Party's favored boogeyman this election cycle, is suing Jennings for falsely claiming that Piker called for lynching Black Americans. Jennings ran an edited video, stripped of context, to make it appear that Piker had done such a thing. “Mr. Jennings did not merely mischaracterize something Mr. Piker said. He took a false, fabricated, and manipulated video of Mr. Piker, added a made-up quotation that Mr. Piker never uttered, and then made accusations that went beyond even what the manipulated footage purported to show," states Piker's 38-page suit. There is no wiggle room for Jennings here. He blatantly lied about what Piker said in an effort to paint him as a murderous lunatic. Jennings claimed that Piker was “calling for Black voters to be lynched” and spoke about a "Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.” In reality, Piker was making the opposite point, but the footage was edited to misrepresent the remarks. Jennings also added a false quotation, subtitles, and commentary to hammer home the lies. Originally, the footage showed Piker stating on his Twitch stream that a conservative commentator wanted to return to the lynching era, not that he himself desired such a thing. “He said, ‘We need more Klansmen, okay? Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening?’” said Piker. The creator of the video that Jennings shared removed the "he said" part as well as laughter to falsely present the snippet as an articulation of Piker's genuine beliefs. Jennings spread his smear via X and so far his post has 2.5 million views, meaning that he has inflicted incalculable damage to Piker's reputation and his possible future earnings. We hope that Piker gets every last penny of that $72.5 million! Please ❤️ and share if you support the lawsuit!
