Cameron Kasky came to national attention as a student activist at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school after the tragic shooting there in Parkland, Florida in 2018.  His first notorious turn on CNN came on Jake Tapper's screechy anti-conservative town hall, where he said then-Sen. Marco Rubio reminded him facially of the Parkland mass shooter, Niklas Cruz.  Kasky has attempted emulate his fellow student at that school, David Hogg, and grift off the Parkland anti-gun halo. He recently attempted to run for Congress in New York but quickly withdrew from that race and somehow ended up as a first time panelist on Monday on CNN's NewsNight. And that first time on Newnight will probably be his last time on CNN due to coming close to getting that network involved in a massive lawsuit by making, and then repeating, a scurrilous charge against President Trump and self-righteously finishing up with an encore act of snapping at regular panelist Scott Jennings that he is not allowed to say the term "illegal aliens." A smug 25-year-old leftist activist just got HUMBLED live on CNN by Scott Jennings. Cameron Kasky claimed President Trump was part of a “human sex-trafficking network” — and for a moment, the panel let it slide. Until @ScottJenningsKY stepped in and FORCED the host John Berman… pic.twitter.com/wRxV2sQ3B5 — Overton (@overton_news) January 20, 2026 CAMERON KASKY: So, I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this. I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win them all. JOHN BERMAN: Cameron's grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland, Scott. What do you think about that? SCOTT JENNINGS: Are you going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring, or... BERMAN: Well, I mean, we're going to talk about the Epstein file. Scott, I will do the fact-checking as we go along here. Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring? KASKY: That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it. BERMAN: Okay, we'll get to that later. I mean, Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein. But we... KASKY: Yes, but let's be adults. BERMAN: We'll talk about the Epstein later. KASKY: Let's be serious. BERMAN: Satisfied? Although CNN might have avoided a massive lawsuit thanks to Scott Jennings forcing an apparently reluctant John Berman to issue a fact check, poor Kasky was definitely not in the clear which became apparent the next day, perhaps after receiving urgent legal advice, when he issued this somewhat dubious retraction which Raw Story characterized as sarcastic: I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites. I said that by accident and didn’t mean it. — Cameron Kasky (@camkasky) January 20, 2026 Um, sorry Cameron but it was hardly some sort of "accident" that you blurted out by mistake. You were given an opportunity to correct yourself but instead repeated your vile charge. On top of that your reaction to Berman's fact check (at Scott Jennings insistence) was one of sarcasm. So welcome to the possible world of lawsuit hell, Cameron, caused by your own snarky mouth. At the very least you will probably never again be invited to appear on CNN since you might have dragged them into the lawsuit you could soon be facing.
