Dem influencer confronts Snapchat 'blow-up' head-on in tense Piers Morgan interview

Democratic influencer Harry Sisson found himself in the hot seat during an exchange on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” when the host refused to conclude the interview without asking the Gen Z political commentator about a recent controversy involving alleged inappropriate behavior on Snapchat.

“I can’t let you go without asking you something. It’s a little delicate,” Piers Morgan said as he referenced reports that began circulating in March that accused Sisson of luring several women into sending explicit photos. “Is that true?” Morgan asked.

Sisson, known for his political commentary on social media, initially pushed back on the line of questioning, telling Morgan: “No, no, no, no, no. I know where you’re going with this.” But then he gave in.

“I'm 22 years old, I'm a young guy, still in college, in a relationship,” Sisson said Wednesday. “I have a girlfriend, but prior to having a girlfriend, I was a single man, and I would live a single life, and there were people I talked to and interacted with, but I guess that's all I'll say about that.”

When Morgan asked directly whether he “acted inappropriately,” Sisson again pushed back.

“Oh, no, I would not… I mean, as I talked about in a video I made regarding this, it was all among adults who were consensual," he said. "I think those are two very important characteristics, and if those are present, then I think it's not inappropriate."

He added, “And if it ever was a moment where they were not interested anymore, that was perfectly fine. I'm always of the view that consent is always the number one thing.”

Sisson went on to tell Morgan, a former CNN host, that the online scandal took an emotional toll on him.

“It's a weird thing,” he concluded. “It's also hard to talk to anybody about because not many people my age can relate to this, being like, ‘Oh yeah, I remember when I had my first Snapchat scandal’. So it was, it was a little isolating. But I think I've learned a lot.”

Harry concluded: “And can I say I appreciate you asking about this, Piers and allowing for a clarification. And I mean that genuinely, because it was a weird time to go through."

Morgan thanked his guest for answering.

"You've not been back on since it all blew up. I've asked you the question. You've given an answer. That's it. You are definitely not cancelled," said Morgan.
