Description

A police officer who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 sued the right-wing website The Blaze over their publication of a conspiracy theory falsely accusing her of attempting to set the pipe bombs the day before the insurrection. Officer Shauni Kerkhoff is represented by the same legal team that helped Dominion Voting Systems win a $787.5 million settlement against Fox News. The lawsuit tells the shocking story about how certain corners of the Trump administration took the fevered 'fedsurrection' theory seriously, upending Kerkhoff's life in the process. Journalist Jacqueline Sweet joins Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.

These Capitol Officers deserve to file a lawsuit while they're at it add Tucker Carlson and Fox News to it for editing the videos of the insurrection to take out the MAGA violence against the Capitol Officers and then perpetuating those lies to the American public. This was one of the worst days in modern American history and it should not be erased by Republicans and the Federalist Society.

Looks like everything is possible and nothing should surprise us in today's America, where a January 6 convicted criminal gets a pardon and than a job in our government, and the live of someone who defended the Capitol is being destroyed ... Thank you for digging deep into this case, Jacqueline Sweet.

A class action lawsuit should be filed by all U.S people against the Trumpy admin et al. Why aren't the people doing this?

This regime exists because of insane internet conspiracy theories. How can anyone be surprised that a Capitol Police officer was accused and investigated on bullshit accusations? I hope she bankrupts the assholes.
