Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Democrat representing California’s 37th district in Los Angeles, began her opening remarks in a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing Tuesday with a comment directed to me. “To distract from the dumpster fire this administration is pursuing,” she said, the Republicans were “elevating a serial sexual harrasser as their star witness.”
Right after the hearing, she re-tweeted the comment on X and BlueSky, writing, “After this, Republicans gave Matt Taibbi time to defend himself. It’s telling that he didn’t.”
There is not much a person like me can say to a member of Congress hiding behind the protections of the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution.
One can however respond to a member arrogant enough to repeat those claims on social media. I’ve now done so, in the form of a $10 million libel lawsuit filed today in a New Jersey federal court:

Rep. Kamlager-Dove, no woman has ever accused me of engaging in sexual harrassment once, let alone serially. See you in court. Please do not evade service.
Yeah they have immunity when on the floor. That’s why she did it that way.
Fugly in a zoot suit...Scoty, beam me up...
No one is…ABOVE THE LAW.

Perhaps. Repeating Immune speech. Should be interesting.
I’ve heard it said that Abraham Lincoln was too ugly to get elected today. After seeing this I’m not so sure.
She then re-published the defamation on social media. No civil immunity for that. Matt will win.
She doesn’t have immunity after she’s off the floor and posting to social media, though.
More evidence that my rule of, “never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name” is a good rule.
I hope he destroys her and wins. But it is California and she is “colored.” How will it look a big bad white man picking on a poor poor woman of color who is a victim of white patriarchal colonialisation
And besides. Gloria Allred is probably on the phone finding some liar from her staff that will accuse Taibi of sexual assault.
HOPE HE BANKRUPTS HER.
I believe there's a fund set up to pay off settlements of congressional wrongdoing so she probably will pay nothing.
The best and the brightest don’t go into government service....
WTH? Is that real? Did she wear that to Congress?
That’s her taste level, outside of Congress. Notice the signage behind her, it’s some event.
Matt, I wish you the best of luck with your suit, and hope you bankrupt the biatch.
What is she protected when she puts it on x and blue sky?
“Matt Taibbi used to be a Democrat and may still be registered as one. I don’t think his lawsuit will prevail, but he’s forced to do it to at least clear his name.”

The “Speech and Debate Clause” will prevent him from being even able to file. It’s an absolute immunity to say anything you want when you have the floor. Same thing Mace did to whoever all those guys she accused of serious crimes are.
