Role at the time: YouTube commentator, in the description of a video on the AT2 channel
Response to this claim
DuRousseau's complaint alleges that PragerU discriminated against him because of his race and sexual orientation, subjected him to a hostile work environment, retaliated against him and wrongfully terminated him.
“Well according to his lawsuit, he faced some of the same racism that he used to try to excuse or pacify.”
Why we used this label
The case's reference point is the discrimination, hostile treatment, retaliation and wrongful termination that DuRousseau's complaint alleges against PragerU. AT2 takes the lawsuit's account as describing racism DuRousseau faced and frames it as the racism he had tried to excuse, which is a critical evaluation of the alleged conduct. The description's main target is DuRousseau's past commentary, and it attributes the facts to the lawsuit, but it neither disputes nor defends the conduct.
