This dude is basically indistinguishable from any reactionary conservative at this point.

Citations Needed did an episode about this. He basically is completely convinced that LA is a lawless hellscape and we need more cops and bigger prisons to fill with as many homeless peopleas possible. He is even in favor of sweeps of homeless encampments.

Adam Johnson wrote this article too if you're a reading-type.

TYT basically has a segment that is the same as "the knockout game" segment from Breitbart where they cherry-pick black on white assaults and say "See! They're coming for you and your family".

He believes that this lawlessness is caused by bail reform because we're allowing pre-trial release of these people without them having to post a cash bail (i.e. not denying them innocent until proven guilty because they're poor).

He doubled down on his positions during a Thanksgiving debate with his nephew Hasan Piker.

It's sad that this is how the largest "left wing" media outlet in the US is being run but ultimately unsurprising. The guy also does union-busting.

    I know what he's talking about, but accepting and working from that framework excuses the Democrats for being so shitty that people won't vote for them to continue having power. Like that's not a law of nature it's a pattern because people generally hate both parties.
