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.

Yeah they have immunity when on the floor. That’s why she did it that way.

[Fungi]

Fugly in a zoot suit...Scoty, beam me up...

[JusPasenThru]

No one is…ABOVE THE LAW.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Yeah they have immunity when on the floor. That’s why she did it that way.

But the congresswoman made the mistake of repeating the claim on social media, where she no longer had libel immunity of the House floor.

[Lizavetta]

Yet another congressional LOC.

Perhaps. Repeating Immune speech. Should be interesting.

[NorthWoody]

I’ve heard it said that Abraham Lincoln was too ugly to get elected today. After seeing this I’m not so sure.

[jpp113]

She then re-published the defamation on social media. No civil immunity for that. Matt will win.

[Spktyr]

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.

[ridesthemiles]

HOPE HE BANKRUPTS HER.

[Lizavetta]

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....

[dforest]

WTH? Is that real? Did she wear that to Congress?

[simpson96]

That’s her taste level, outside of Congress. Notice the signage behind her, it’s some event.

[Robwin]

Matt, I wish you the best of luck with your suit, and hope you bankrupt the biatch.

[tiki]

What is she protected when she puts it on x and blue sky?

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.
