Two Georgia election workers who became the target of conspiracy theories around the 2020 election are suing The Gateway Pundit, a far-right website that published false information about them as part of a sweeping effort to sow doubt about the integrity of the vote.
The election workers, Ruby Freeman, a retired 911 call center worker, and her daughter, Shaye Moss, allege in the lawsuit that Jim and Joe Hoft, twin brothers who operate and write for The Gateway Pundit, conducted “a campaign of lies” that “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.”
Freeman and her daughter became central figures in some of the many conspiracy theories that circulated among conservatives in the months after the election. Other subjects of similar theories — most notably companies that make voting machines — have also launched lawsuits targeted at media companies that spread misleading or outright evidence-free claims about their roles in the election.
Articles from The Gateway Pundit that named Freeman sparked a feedback loop of accusations that included President Donald Trump and other conservative media outlets.
The Hofts did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A month after articles appeared on The Gateway Pundit website that accused Freeman of “counting illegal ballots from a suitcase stashed under a table,” former President Donald Trump referred to her by name during his phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger on Jan. 2. On the call, Trump called Freeman “a vote scammer, a professional vote scammer and hustler.” (Trump is not named in the lawsuit.)
At the height of the harassment, Freeman said strangers twice attempted to push into her home to “make a citizens’ arrest,” the lawsuit alleges.

DISCOVERY...
I hope so even more!
They wouldn’t be doing this if the court including jurors and rioters weren’t all ready in agreement on the price imho.

Forget it sam,
this is Georgia.

Macoozie said what I was thinking: DISCOVERY! Name the names, roll the film!
It took the DNC this long to get its ducks in a row - bribes, threats and stooge judges in the right places - before it could initiate lawfare against people exposing The Georgia Steal.
DON’T THROW ME INTO A BRE’R PATCH, BR’ER FOX!
If the video is as definitive as they claim then we should look forward to it being introduced and adjudicated as such in court. Given so much of the nonsense they have published on a variety of topics routinely it is difficult to have confidence the videos they present are what they claim they reflect.
Hi.
Has the deep state eliminated the video of the two stuffing the ballot box with ballots brought in after everyone left?

I’m not going to comment on the content of this post/article. Instead, I’m going to address this:
“Two Georgia election workers who became the target of conspiracy theories around the 2020 election are suing The Gateway Pundit, a far-right website....”
It is without a doubt that GP is solidly right-of-center. **Perhaps** it even qualifies as “a far-right website.” BUT, when is the last time anyone reading this ever heard or saw any mainstream press or media outlet refer to any publication, program, blog or website as “far-left?” I’m wagering on “never” - and that inherent bias needs to be called out EVERY SINGLE TIME IT IS HEARD OR PUBLISHED. Call these biased bastards out on their bias.
Right! It will be a real s#*t storm!
They should be careful about what they ask for.
And there apparently are contemporaneous police reports that were made. So we'll see.
Thanks, I had no clue. Why was it not more reported?
Bring it!
Noting happens without a reason. They are suing because someone wants them to. So I’m very skeptical there isn’t something else really happening here. Timing? Is this move an attempt to divert attention from something? What is coming up on the horizon that is election related?
There is the possibility the two doing the suing are just plain dumb and didn’t even think about what they were doing. If there was anything going on they are probably too dumb to know the difference. Someone else would have had to carefully coordinate such a thing and I just dont see how that could be pulled off. And then to keep it all a secret on top of that.
I still believe the real fraud came with the drop boxes. Maybe a small group of people, hell, even one or two ran around stuffing that.
Sources like GP and Populist Press do not help “our side”. The liberties taken when writing any story tread on fiction. They invalidate themselves as any serious source. I’ll give them credit, they can get your attention. But I believe most see through this after a year of it. I’ve unsubscribed to that nonsense.
It is a good question. I agree with you: you’d expect this to be used to bash Trump and republicans for the last 12 months.
The Gateway Pundit is a news outlet.
And how many conservatives has that harassment happened to? What about the 2016 Electoral College electors?
“The greater problem is why didn’t Georgia authorities go after the fraudsters.”
Because the Georgia SOS is complicit in the fraud, and is a rabid Never Trumper.
Maybe we will be able to find out who came up with the busted water pipe in the basement scheme that resulted in shutting down the vote counting long enough to get rid of the voter challengers so that the dirty work could begin unabated. They knew that their efforts to rig the election in Biden’s favor had fallen short, therefore Ruby and Shaye had to do what was necessary to get Biden over the top. Thus the suitcases of ballots came into play.
> Freeman was caught on camera pulling suitcases full of votes from under a clothed table and throwing them in the vote count. Why isn’t she in jail?
Are you kidding me? It has been over a year and you still don’t have a clue. Those were not suitcases. They were regular ballot crates that had been placed under those tables in plain view of observers, media, etc. at around 10:30pm in the evening. It is all on video. These were not fake ballots secreted in from some unknown location. These were legitimate ballots that had been removed from their envelopes but had not been counted. Giuliani, et. al. only showed snippets of the videos in order to purposely mislead the public, the Georgia state legislators, etc. But the GA SoS office eventually released the whole security video (you can be damned sure Giuliani wouldn’t release because it would reveal his lies) where you can see the ballots being taking from tables, placed in the crates and then the crates being pushed under the tables — all in the view of reporters, observers, etc.
