What happened is that Trump campaign's lawyer called Kreb a class A moron and he should be taken out at dawn and shot.
Am I right to assume that, nevertheless, this does not change the outcome?
I don’t think it changes anything. Calling the man a “moron” is a matter of opinion. Stating that someone should be executed is also a matter of opinion, even if some find it offensive. Both are protected political speech. If one were to call for the commission of a crime against the man, that could be different. But even if you interpret the statement that way, I think this would be hyperbole, which is obviously not intended to be taken literally. Google the Watts case from 1969. This is a bs lawsuit designed to suppress lawful political speech.
