Two Georgia election workers sue far-right website over false fraud allegations

Two Georgia election workers targeted by former U.S. President Donald Trump in a vote-rigging conspiracy theory have sued a far-right website that trumpeted the false story, alleging it incited months of death threats and harassment against them.

www.reuters.com

Excerpts:

'The lawsuit, filed in St. Louis Circuit Court, alleges that the Pundit’s “lies” about Freeman and Moss “devastated” their reputations and “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.” the suit says. Freeman went into hiding.'

'Trump, a Republican, and his surrogates falsely alleged that Freeman and Moss pulled “suitcases” full of fake ballots for Biden and processed them late at night on Election Day, Nov. 3, after most poll workers and election observers left. State officials including Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger quickly and forcefully debunked the allegations, explaining that the “suitcases” were standard ballot containers and the votes were properly counted under the watch of an independent monitor and a state investigator.'

'The Gateway Pundit covered the false allegations in multiple stories, including one that identified Freeman by name with the headline: “What’s Up, Ruby? Crooked Operative Filmed Pulling Out Suitcases of Ballots in Georgia IS IDENTIFIED.” The Pundit identified Moss in another story.'

'The Pundit stories continued through the summer, even as multiple audits and reviews confirmed the accuracy of Fulton County’s vote results.'

How is this journalism?

The article claims that Trump's claims were false allegations, and to back up their claim, they cite.....claims to the contrary made by someone else?

That means we are dealing with propaganda. @Uniformed_ReRe you can see that, right?

What happens when the video is replayed of that happening? How about the depositions of Freeman and Moss once the defense lawyer bullets start flying? 😂

Why do I feel like @Uniformed_ReRe has no idea what you are talking about? This is why we beg these guys to stop getting their info from shit sources.

100%

this could backfire big time

I honestly thought they were both in jail.

Maybe once the discovery phase is over…REAL interested to see if those Facebook posts are legit. She admitted they were cheating, and bragged about it.

 

[BSC911]

These sheep were duped again. Trumpers are so gullible.

💩 happens yet again....

The video was all over the internet (well, until "Big Tech" banned it I am assuming). It was a travesty what Brad Raffensperger did/said. He should be in jail imo.

But "he's a Republican". That proves there was no fraud.

OR, he didn't want any Fraud proven in his election office, as it would be a bad reflection on him. Self preservation.

But he and Kemp tried to cover their own asses. This shit happened on their watch, for all the world to see.

And yet it hoodwinked @Uniformed_ReRe. Reuters claimed Trump supporters were wrong, and then said Brad disagreed with them, so that 'proved' they were wrong.

That's not how journalism works. That's propaganda. That would be like Reuters writing an article saying that the shots kill people, then sourcing @Uniformed_ReRe making the 'false claim' that the vaccines are safe, then sourcing @fatman76 disagreeing, and claiming @Uniformed_ReRe was wrong as a result.

So sad how the sheep will gobble any information down, as long as it tells them what they want to hear.

Liz Cheney agrees.
