WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani is liable for defaming two election workers in Georgia, a U.S. judge in Washington said on Wednesday.
Judge Beryl Howell issued the order as a sanction against Giuliani for failing to turn over electronic records sought by the two election workers, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, in the case.
The judge’s order means Giuliani will have to pay damages for spreading false vote-rigging claims against the pair following the 2020 U.S. presidential election. He previously admitted that his statements were false and damaged Moss and Freeman’s reputations.
Giuliani will face a civil trial in Washington, D.C. federal court to determine how much he will have to pay.
I mean if you look at the Fox News/Dominion case … Fox viewers should know they’ve been lied to and manipulated. It’s crazy how little they care.
In the words of my father when I pointed out one again that the horrible shit he emailed me about Obama was in fact false:
“I don’t care. I hate them.”
That’s it. The party of Hate and Fear. They don’t care what lies they are told as long as they believe it hurts the people they hate.
Conservatives are literally thrilled when people lie to them. To them, honesty is a vice and dishonesty is a virtue.
All while screaming about 1984 because they can’t use racial and sexual slurs on Facebook.
Nah it’s more simple than that - the truth is boring. Salacious content is more exciting.
At the end of the day, capitalism wins, and whatever generates more views gets more advertising revenue.
No. It’s more than that. Conservatives actually love to hear lies.
But though this is known, it wasn’t likely mentioned anywhere that they’d trust as news. Fox News certainly didn’t talk about it. I’m sure many of them have no idea about the outcome of that case.
