Swimmer and activist Riley Gaines responded to a news article she claimed was an attempt at “character assassination” with a threat to sue.
British newspaper PinkNews released a story early Friday that read: “Anti-trans harassment pedalled on social media by former US college swimmer Riley Gaines has been linked with a bomb threat at a California library.” Gaines had shared a video from a meeting of the Yolo County chapter of Moms for Liberty at Mary L. Stephens Library in Davis, where library staff kept interrupting the meeting, insisting the group not misgender transgender athletes, until they were asked to leave.
This is libel & character assassination. You are the only one inciting violence & outrage by this post, but I understand thats the goal. Did you not learn anything from the last time you were sued?
Dont worry about changing the article, its already been screenshotted. Lawyer up. https://t.co/4ogLGwhyVY
