Defamation suit filed in North Carolina against Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert

American Muckrakers, the North Carolina political action committee that has hounded Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-Henderson) throughout his tenure, filed suit in North Carolina today against Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for defamation and malicious prosecution, alleging the controversial congresswoman made damaging statements to radio and television host Sean Hannity and others about the PAC and one of its members.

“Our PAC and I are going to finally hold Boebert accountable,” said David Wheeler, co-plaintiff and president of American Muckrakers. “We look forward to seeing Boebert in a North Carolina court room and a conference room for a deposition.”

In June, the PAC published scandalous allegations against Boebert, accusing the Christian conservative of formerly being an unregistered escort, and of having had two abortions — allegations, according to the lawsuit, that Wheeler and American Muckrakers believe to be true.

The four-count lawsuit alleges that Boebert told Hannity days later that there was no evidence to back up Wheeler’s claims, that the claims are false and that Wheeler knew the claims were false when he published them. Boebert also threatened legal action, called Wheeler a “hack” and blamed “radical Democrats” for an effort to remove her from office.

Boebert made similar claims to a reporter at the Washington Examiner, and to television entertainer Tomi Lahren.

According to Wheeler’s suit, the PAC suffered a 92% decrease in fundraising revenues following Boebert’s comments, dropping from an average of $20,000 a month to around $3,800 a month.

Wheeler is a resident of North Carolina, and asserts in the suit that the Madison County courtroom is a proper venue for the proceedings not only due to his residency, but also due to Boebert’s activity in the state, including a September appearance in Charlotte.

Let's is one word. It's called a contraction, sumthin which is hard for those who haven't had a contraction to understand.

Cordially,

I bow before my M'Learned Friend's superior wisdom. (I always assumed those who had had contractions had many many words to describe them.)
