Defamed the parents of those whose children were murdered in the school shootings and was rightfully found liable when they sued for defamation.
And some here defend it as ‘free speech’ and ‘opinion.’ It was not opinion, nor free speech. He made false statements that defamed these people, on top of everything else they had gone through.
I believe it was Ariel Sharon who won the quintessential defamation case against TIME magazine back in the 1980s. The jury found in his favor and awarded him $1 in damages. They basically acknowledged that he was defamed by the magazine, but he couldn’t demonstrate with a straight face that he had suffered any harm as a result.
When you ask for a billion dollars, you lose any moral authority you ever had. Now *YOU* are the bad guy.
