David Wheeler, president of American Muckrakers, alleged in court papers that Rep. Lauren Boebert defamed him when she denied his claims that she used drugs, had abortions, and worked as an escort.
Not to jump to her defense in the least. But isn’t this proving a negative?
American Muckrakers are going to have a difficult time proving that she, “[made] knowingly false statments impugning Plaintiffs’ integrity and disparaging their character…”
Unless of course she and her staff were as dumb as Fox news, texting each other about how they knew everything she said on various news programs was false.

Well…for some reason, I have the feeling we shouldn’t rule out this possibilty.
However, I agree that this is going to be hard to prove and if it fails, they will definitely spin and milk it for profit.

not really, since they have a ton of evidence - including witnesses - who can testify that she, in fact, did do those things. But they don’t have to-- Boebert has to prove she wasn’t slandering them by calling them a liar, and, to do that, she has to prove that they were lying.
