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. |
