@Kinnison I really hope they catch and throw the book at those responsible for this terrorism. And I hope voters do the same to the politicians encouraging it with a wink and a nod.

@Kinnison If Ohio is one of the many states that allow 'group defamation suits' this is an example of where it applies. Proving defamation and damage here is a slam dunk - JD is on video saying he knew it was a lie. The bomb threats and other threat well document damages. This could potentially top Dominion vs Fox in $ amounts.
@Kinnison I am glad they are taking this seriously and being proactive, but it really sucks that the GOP has become the party of terrorists.
