Rae’Lee Klein demands to be rehired at Blaze Radio or get monetary damages for violating her First Amendment rights.
An Arizona State University journalism student is suing after she was fired from the school’s radio station for tweeting about Jacob Blake’s past accusations of sexual assault.
Attorney Jack D. Wilenchik has sent a letter to the public university instructing them to either rehire Rae’Lee Klein, a Cheyenne, Wyoming native, at Blaze Radio or provide monetary damages for violating her First Amendment rights.
“Always more to the story, folks,” said Klein in an August tweet with a New York Post article on the arrest warrant for Blake. “Please read this article to get the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted.”
“I was reading through it and I just thought it was super interesting and enlightening and a part of the story we haven’t been told yet,” said Klein.
“I was just trying to do A, what I was assigned to do and B, what I thought was my job as a journalist, which is to share an important part of the story,” said Klein, who was on the politics beat.
A complaint against Blake led to felony charges being filed in July accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman in May. Blake, who was wanted on a warrant for those charges when police arrived at the scene Aug. 23, pleaded not guilty to the charges earlier this month via video from his hospital bed. A trial date was set for Nov. 9.

It is a shame that it is necessary, but Constitutional rights must be defended in the courts even in the most insignificant cases.
C’mon man, Jacob Blake was just getting his life together. He was about to come out with a RAP video. (where he sexualizes and abuses women).
Use the Nick Sandman model, sue them for every penny you can get even if they end up on the street.
Like Paul Harvey used to say...”Now you know the rest of the story.”. I knew there was more...thanks!
ASU, my alma mater, has become hopelessly leftist. They know not to ask me for any donations.
Definitely NOT GUILTY!
