Defamation lawsuit against Boebert heading to a Colorado courtroom, Muckrakers president says

[RandySF]

A North Carolina political activist is preparing to file a lawsuit against U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Silt in federal court in Colorado, the activist told Colorado Newsline.

David Wheeler, president of the American Muckrakers PAC, sued Boebert in a North Carolina state court last year for defamation and malicious prosecution. In January, the judge dismissed the case, saying that the proper venue for it was in Colorado.

Wheeler said he’s heeding the judge’s advice and is poised to bring a similar lawsuit against Boebert in Colorado, though now he plans to file in federal court.

Wheeler said he’s looking to depose Boebert on video about her involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection and numerous other matters related to the case. “It would certainly be in the public interest to be able to see that videotape,” he said.

And the defamation case may be expanded to include more defendants, like Fox News and Sean Hannity, he added.

American Muckrakers is widely credited with damaging the electoral prospects of former Republican U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina after Muckrakers released unflattering video of the congressman, who lost his reelection bid after a primary defeat. The political action committee later turned its attention to Boebert and started publishing information about her with the explicit intention of spoiling her reelection effort.

3. As am I.. My home State of

Colorado is mostly Blue except for District 3 where bobert only won by around 500 votes.

I want her gone.

4. I moved to Colorado last year from Iowa. I want toxic Bobert gone too.

For what it is worth, the Colorado GOP is imploding right now. They put a very very crazy MAGA election denier in as new chair recently. It is not going well:

5. Oh My Goodness! I'm so glad

you moved to Colorado from Iowa!

Super Great News about repubs Leaving Party bc of STUPID!

Mahalo for the link! I would like to know what are these "conservative ideals and values" the repubs hold?

After dt.. they've switched to Fascism. Look at the desadist fans in Florida.. they want a Dictator.

But of course there are a few like Kinzinger & Cheney who support Country over party.

I bet those leaving in Colorado feel a big weight off their minds.

"..trump is not popular in Colorado.." Coloradoans are Smart!

Would you mind telling me what part of Colorado you live in It's quite ok if you don't.

7. These MAGA's talk about FREEDOM but everything they do is about CONTROLLING people lives, thoughts,

and bodies.

DeSantis is the perfect example of that, isn’t he?

The Front Range! I am in Boulder County. We got the place here in 2013 and kinda lived in Iowa part time and Colorado part time. So nice to be here all the time now. We have been here now for a year.

I can tell you more via PM. Off to bed now, but will contact you in the morning.

I want to hear about when you lived here. It is about time we got caught up!

[Cha]

8. Yes, it's time we caught up..

who knew it would be about Colorado!

I was born in Denver and raised except for the part about living with my grandparents to go to high school.. and that was in Eastern Colorado(Tumbleweeds).. but I liked my high school.

Denver was a relative small town back then.. so much Fun.. Ski trips in the winter.

I remember one trip to Boulder in the Winter.. it looked like what I imagined a Swiss village would look.. so much Snow!

I would love to hear more about your Colorado life now.

My family & I moved to Phoenix when I graduated high school so that was a whole other chapter. But I went back to stay with my Mom for 2 years in 1990 from California .. So Grateful I did.

I have a complicated geographical history! Looking back.. whoa & that was not the half of it.

2. Wow.. GO Muckrakers!! TY!

Good Luck!
