Hasan Piker Called Lindsey Graham 'Bloodthirsty' and Claims Fox News Just Accidentally Vindicated Him on a Completely Separate Thing

Lindsey Graham is dead. Hasan Piker, allegedly, had opinions about that. Darlings, strap in.

What Piker said about Graham. Per Fox News reporting dated July 13, Piker went on stream and described the late Senator as "bloodthirsty." The segment is circulating. We have not seen the full clip in context, so the precise framing remains per Fox's characterization, which, noted.

Why the source matters here. This is the same network that, four days ago, had Scott Jennings on air threatening to sue Piker. Their editorial interest in catching him saying something impolitic about a Republican senator is not exactly a neutral one. Darling, that is not a denial of the clip. It is context.

The collargate twist nobody asked for. On July 12, a post on r/LivestreamFail claimed Piker argued on stream that Fox News coverage of something called "collargate" had backfired spectacularly. According to the submission, footage used in Fox's own reporting allegedly confirmed the collar involved was a PG-300 model vibration collar, not the shock device the coverage implied. Piker, per the Reddit summary, is framing this as Fox self-owning in real time.

What we don't know. What collargate actually is, beyond this week's Reddit summary. Whether Fox has acknowledged the reversal claim. Whether the Graham comments will now give Jennings fresh material, given he was already warmed up. The signal here is thin on specifics and we are not filling in blanks with imagination.

One more thing in the queue. Since June 29, per IMDb reporting, there has been a separate story floating about Piker being banned from entering the UK and subsequently slamming SXSW London over it. That predates this week's cycle and has not been addressed in our coverage. It is sitting there. A journey.

My loves, the audacity of Fox News running a "Piker said a mean thing about Graham" segment while simultaneously sitting on footage Piker claims clears him on a different story is, at minimum, a scheduling problem. Keep receipts. Fox will not be issuing a collargate correction before sundown.
