        Dan Saltman recently revealed that he was the originator of that lie and he did it specifically to smear Hasan.

        Here’s Dan explaining how he got the idea from Ethan Klein feeding so much cheese to his dog that he killed it.

        Nah, he has his problems as a reformist but the endless drama and defamation surrounding him is already known.

          It’s how I heard about him, at least. The dog shocking spawned a lot of memes that spilled out far and wide enough for people who don’t watch e-celebs to see.

            Oh so you’re regurgitating unverified rumors to convince people to distrust this guy? Cool, cool.

            Kinda funny we’re talking about this on a post about Hasan suing Scott Jennings for defamation.

                hasan doesn’t care about and is never going to fuck you. Stop fighting for him

                Is this the only conceivable reason to defend somebody you can think of?

                Oh yeah, I’m notoriously so horny for men. Everyone knows me around here for being the most horny for men and only men. I just looooove himbos so much.

                It’s certainly not because I’m relatively well versed in politics and follow these issues closely. No way.

                  Clearly you don’t understand politics you support. Morality is the same regardless of the side you pick, this guy is a dog abusing nepo baby, that get excuses made for his shitty behavior. That’s how you get Cosby.

                Evidence has already been linked to you, though it’s a real possibility that you’ve blocked me so as to maintain your echo chamber.

                Hasan can do wrong, he’s a reformist and in many ways a liberal, rather than a socialist. Him being attacked and slandered as a threat to establishment Democrats is not up for debate.
