Oh, crap, I posted in the wrong 2020 thread. Not my own brightest move.

MAGA aren't sending their best (or brightest), apparently:

 

[TexRex]

Conservatives: "Law and order."

Also conservatives: "NOT LIKE THAT!!!"

Would it have been that difficult to say a prayer outside? It would have been lawful.

Any chance a Trump supporter will start selling replicas?

Seems like a light penalty to me.

 

[TheCracker]

I like the way he's framed it "who entered the Capitol..." and not what acually happened which was: 'broke into the Capitol during a riot and failed insurrection'.

 

[Danoff]

We're to judge guilt and sentencing according to appearance rather than facts according to Raheem.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

If this had been the other guys, the GOP would be demanding the death penalty for treason for every single person who stepped foot in the Capitol.

Someone's been watching MSNBC's From Russia With Lev documentary in which Rudy is the big bad.

Meanwhile Jack Smith's brief indicates a Trump stooge wanted the J6ers to riot.

Far-right website admits there was no fraud at 2020 vote-count in Atlanta

Gateway Pundit settled defamation lawsuit brought by election workers it had falsely accused of wrongdoing

www.theguardian.com

The far-right website The Gateway Pundit acknowledged for the first time on Saturday that there was not any fraud during ballot counting in Atlanta in 2020 when Donald Trump lost the presidency, a significant concession from one of the most influential conservative sites that plays a key role in spreading election misinformation.

The statement, the first acknowledgment from the site that there was no proof of fraud in Atlanta, came days after the site settled a defamation lawsuit with Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, two local election workers who the site falsely accused of wrongdoing. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly, but the site appears to have removed all mention of the two women.

“Georgia officials concluded that there was no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at the State Farm Arena in November 2020,” the site’s co-founder, Jim Hoft, said in a statement posted on Gateway Pundit on Saturday. “The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct while working at State Farm Arena on election night. A legal matter with this news organization and the two election workers has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement.”

As Trump sought to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat to Joe Biden, Gateway Pundit relentlessly amplified a misleading video it said showed poll workers fraudulently counting ballots on election night. Gateway Pundit was the first site to identify Freeman and Moss as the two women in the video and published dozens of articles falsely accusing them of wrongdoing.

Moss and Freeman have publicly spoken out about the severe harassment they faced. They received many death threats. People showed up unannounced at Freeman’s home, and she feared they were going to kill her. Both women testified last year that they were still afraid to go out alone in public.

Hoft and his twin brother, Joe, who is also a contributor to the site, refused to back down from their false claims. They held a press conference on the sidelines of the Republican national convention in Milwaukee in July insisting that the video showed wrongdoing.

Freeman and Moss previously settled a lawsuit with One America News Network, another far-right conservative outlet, which subsequently broadcast a correction to its reporting and noted the two women had not engaged in fraud.

A Washington DC jury also ordered Trump ally Rudy Giuliani to pay the two women nearly $150m in damages last year. Giuliani has appealed the verdict and undertaken legal maneuvers to avoid payment. Lawyers for Freeman and Moss have asked a federal judge in New York to give them control over his assets.

Gateway Pundit still faces a defamation lawsuit from Eric Coomer, a former employee of Dominion voting systems, whom the outlet falsely accused of rigging the election.

Lawfare intensifies

Seriously, though: it sure is refreshing to see these malakas being held to a more rigorous standard of truth than can be found at Double-Jerk's love-in rallies. I'm delighted for Ruby and Shaye after all the crap they took and are no doubt still taking from the MAGA morons.

Included in assets that Giuliani is ordered to turn over: legal fees owed by Donald Trump surrogates.

Apparently there is also a 1980 Mercedes-Benz. Aaaaand now I have Janis stuck in my head.
