Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, October 12, 2024

Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss scored a legal victory on Thursday when they settled a defamation lawsuit with The Gateway Pundit, the far-right news website that falsely accused them of interfering with ballots in the 2020 presidential election. The Gateway Pundit was the first site to publicly identify the mother and daughter, who were accused by former President Donald Trump and Rudy Guiliani of ballot fraud on election night in Fulton County, Georgia. The allegation that the pair had pulled "suitcases" of ballots from under a table, away from poll watchers was debunked almost immediately. But the conspiracy theory continues to circulate among far-right groups and Trump allies who believe the 2020 election was "stolen." By Thursday afternoon, nearly 20 articles accusing Freeman and Moss of ballot tampering were removed from The Gateway Pundit, according to a review by the Guardian.

The Gateway Pundit's legal troubles don't end with Freeman and Moss. The company still faces a libel suit from Eric Coomer, a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems who was falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election in favor of President Joe Biden.

The far-right website The Gateway Pundit acknowledged for the first time on Saturday that there was not any fraud during ballot counting in Atlanta in 2020 when Donald Trump lost the presidency, a significant concession from one of the most influential conservative sites that plays a key role in spreading election misinformation.

Another repug lie gets buried next to Ashli Babbitt.
