A leftist influencer might be headed for a lawsuit following unsubstantiated and incendiary comments about Fox News and its hosts.

Hasan Piker, by many accounts, is a radical left activist who’s gained a massive following for his polarizing rhetoric.

Piker recently served his audience red meat when he blasted Fox News and accused the network and its employees of numerous atrocities.

After calling Fox News “Hitler’s favorite television,” he accused the network of being “pro-rape” for hiring “prolific rapists” hosts and supporting “rapist candidates.”

He then turned his sights on Secretary of War and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth.

“One of their rapists hosts is now the fu**ing Secretary of War,” he says before spewing off multiple more allegations against Hegseth, including the debunked claim that he sports a “Nazi tattoo.”

Hasan Piker: “Fox News is Rape TV. It’s the pro-rape network. One of their rapists hosts is now the fucking Secretary of War. Pete Hegseth also has a Nazi tattoo on his motherfucking chest. He was such a prolific rapist that his own mother sent him an email begging him to stop… pic.twitter.com/fq8Or0Gakq

It’s not clear what alleged Fox segment Piker was responding to, but does it matter? Plenty of X users, including CNN pundit Scott Jennings, believed Piker’s rant was grounds for a lawsuit.

“Time to sue,” Jennings said on X in response to the clip.

He wasn’t alone.

You better lawyer up

The St George Cross that Hegseth wears is a Christian symbol and was even a part of President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

Vile (actionable?) smears on several levels. And especially sick coming from a terrorism supporter who — in addition to saying America deserved 9/11 — offered this quote on the subject: “It doesn’t matter if rape happened on October 7th. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me.” https://t.co/Nyw692FDlJ
