Summary
Trump adviser Stephen Miller erupted on Fox News after MSNBC analyst Andrew Weissmann criticized Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants as possibly unconstitutional.
Miller called Weissmann “an absolute moron,” “a fool,” and “a degenerate,” claiming he “shills for people who rape and murder Americans.”
When host Martha MacCallum noted both could express opinions, Miller shouted that he’d “defend American lives” while Weissmann “can defend illegal alien rapists, terrorists and predators.”
This continues Miller’s pattern of televised outbursts, including previous incidents on CNN and reactions to SNL jokes about Trump.
Well, that sounds wilfully defamatory. Let’s hope his sorry ass gets dragged into court.
All of that is purely opinion. Defamation has to be statements of fact, not opinion. Turn in your law license.
I don’t think we use defamation lawsuits and politics enough. Look at how much good Dominion did by filing one. People who are lied about by fascists should sue them in every instance, expose their lies in court, and collect lots of money off of them. If we had done this earlier we could have stopped fascism entirely by this method, and maybe too late to do this but it’s probably not useless
Dominion’s lawsuit was based on factual statements that were demonstrably false, not just opinions.
republicans lie on matters of fact all the time.
