“This Is Libel!” – Attorney Robert Barnes Puts Democrat Ilhan Omar on Notice For Spreading Lies ..
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 1/23/2019 | Christina Laila

Posted on 01/23/2019 9:12:26 AM PST by bitt

Newly elected Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) attacked the Covington teens Tuesday night and defended the black supremacists who taunted the Kentucky teens with racial slurs.

The Covington Catholic teens have been exonerated after the full video showing what really happened at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend surfaced. The media lies have been debunked.

The Black Supremacists shouted homophobic and racist slurs at the Covington teens after the March for Life rally in Washington DC.

Then out of no where, Native American activist Nathan Phillips approached the students and loudly beat a drum in their faces.

The Covington boys showed incredible restraint in the face of vile taunts and harassment — the main teen being targeted, Nick Sandmann, stood silently while Nathan Phillips got up in his personal space with his drumming and chants.

The mainstream media has retracted their false stories and apologies have flooded Twitter, but the radical Muslima is still spreading lies about the Covington boys.

Ilhan Omar falsely claimed the Covington boys were taunting the black supremacists and spread the lie that the teens “surrounded” Nathan Phillips and led racist chants.

There just cannot be absolute immunity even when speaking from the floor! Otherwise, some scumbag rat can go before the mic, pick any innocent private citizen, allege one or more of the defamation requirements, and speak all day spewing total lies.

They weren’t asleep, they were playing their part cooperatively.

Sue this ant-Semite Muslim. They already think they have taken over this country. They may be right.

from Findlaw:

https://blogs.findlaw.com/injured/2013/04/what-is-qualified-immunity.html

Qualified immunity shields public officials from damages for civil liability so long as they did not violate an individual’s “clearly established” statutory or constitutional rights.

The immunity is available to state or federal employees, including law enforcement officers, who are performing their jobs. As a result, if a state or federal employee violates an individual’s federal constitutional rights, that employee is protected from liability if he or she did not violate rights spelled out by a “clearly established” law.

Why are these protections available? The goal of the immunity is to allow state and federal employees to perform their responsibilities without fear of being sued by individuals who may suffer injuries.

When can an official use qualified immunity?
The defense of qualified immunity turns on the reasonableness of the act at issue. The law asks if a “reasonable person” in the defendant’s position would have known that his or her actions violated clearly established law. Whenever the answer to that question is “no,” qualified immunity kicks in.

The muzzie witch fails the “reasonable person” requirement!

Unfortunately for her, she didn’t know the trick of making her statements on the record on the house floor — if she had, she’d be immune to libel, just open to congressional rebuke, like the democrats would ever do that to her.

That’s what Harry Reid did when he accused Romney of not paying taxes. He knew he was untouchable.

Someone should tell the lawyer that Congressmen are immune from most lega penalties, due to the Constitution.

And where in the Constitution does it say that?

If I am not mistaken, Rep. Omar was NOT on the floor of the house went the comment was made and published. IMHO, she has legal jeopardy.

not a criticism, but Murdoch has nothing to do with the Daily Mail. in UK he has The Sun and The Times.

They are immune from official government acts. This s doesn’t fall under that umbrella.
