Twitch streamer Hasan Piker sued conservative commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, alleging that Jennings had defamed him by misconstruing a quote to make it sound like Piker endorsed lynchings.
On his own podcast on Aug. 11, Jennings played a mashup of clips of Piker, including one in which Piker referenced going “back to a better time when lynchings were happening.” Jennings denounced the commentary and warned Black voters of the “Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.”
