Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, filed a defamation lawsuit against Mini-Trump, Kari Lake for constantly repeating false and harmful statements against his person after she lost the governor election.
Richer explained the suit to The Mike Broomhead Show on KTAR News 92.3 FM.
“This lawsuit is not about, ‘I’m ugly’ or ‘I’m terrible’ or ‘I’m the worst’ or something along those lines, which of course is First Amendment protected,” Richer said.
This is about a number of specific statements that have accused me of doing, intentionally, a specific unlawful act that would be truly awful, that would cause me to abandon my oath of office, that would be a serious crime — that multiple courts have said is false.”
Mark Z. Barabak writes in the LA Times: "Richer may not prevail in his defamation suit against Lake. But if it deters other prominent personalities from hustling election-fraud fakery — when they know better — it will have served a fine purpose."
Repeating and promoting dangerous lies and conspiracies about elections, presidential otherwise cannot be tolerated.
Godspeed, Mr. Richer.
