@DemocracyMattersALot "Before returning the verdict, jurors asked the court if they could direct Bushnell to take down her posts about Posey and publicly apologize to him. First District Judge Ross Pittman, who presided over the trial, indicated they could not do so."

So the court maintains that she did defame him with that video but that defamation is allowed to stay online and in the public? That makes no sense to me.

@DemocracyMattersALot

I'm generally not one to say anything about CW, but this definitely needs to be labeled with such. It's a far-right, very bigoted site. So far I'm seeing weight-shaming, transphobia, antisemitism... who knows what else. I had to stop reading.

I'm honestly surprised you've shared it, though I'm not sure if it's common. I assumed not.

@DemocracyMattersALot You can’t find enough bad things to say about a literal fascist without repeatedly harping on her weight and physical appearance and implying that being fat is a sign of fascism (and, for some bizarre reason, that it’s surprising when thin, pretty women are fascists)?
