I’ve been assaulted, arrested, and thrown in jail on three different occasions since October, 2017. Why? Simply because I report on Republicans and their dishonesty, hypocrisy, insanity and crimes.
You see, Republicans do not believe in accountability or a free press. These are desperate times for GOP, and they’ll do anything to win.`And that includes having their ideological opponents jailed on false charges.
I’ve written about what they’ve done to me:
- Watch the video of cops beating me up and read about Ed Gillespie lying about who I was, all but accusing me of being a terrorist, and having me arrested and jailed.
- Watch the video and read about Ryan Zinke and Heather Swift (his spokesperson and the press secretary for the Department of Interior) assaulting me, lying about it, and having me jailed.
- Watch the video and read about Adam Laxalt and his confederates having me jailed in Las Vegas on trumped up charges that I assaulted his campaign manager.
The first two cases are finished: I proved my innocence at court and the cases are dismissed. Unfortunately, outside of anything I do, there will be no consequences for Ed Gillespie or any of the GOP operatives that had a hand in my false arrests and jailing.
The third case is ongoing and it looks like the state is doing everything they can to convict me, including destruction of evidence. To wit, four (4!) separate videos under the state’s control have gone missing: the venue security camera video, two different police body-camera videos and the patrol car video have all mysteriously vanished. Of course, from the day of my arrest, I’ve insisted that these videos be retrieved and preserved; that they have disappeared is 1) a remarkable coincidence, and 2) not really.
See, I was told by a senior aide to Senator Harry Reid (the former United States Senate Majority Leader from Nevada) that the Laxalt family controls Nevada and that I should just apologize, plead guilty, and hope for the best. But I’m stubborn, I’m not guilty, and I’ve never been one to run from a fight. So here we are.
In fact, this is where I need you.
These three arrests didn’t happen by accident. The truth is that in October 2017, I had never been accused of assaulting any political operatives, let alone a woman. But by October, 2018, I had been accused of assault by three GOP female campaign operatives. Fortunately, I had clearly exonerating video of each instance, but that’s not the point.
No.
The point is that these accusations do not simply blink into existence out of some random primordial quantum soup. Not three specific accusations that I assault women.
So what did happen?
Well, I was effective. And so far as I know, I was the only one doing the work I was doing: going to Republican campaign events with a video recorder, pointing my finger, and mocking the naked emperor. No other journalist did that, or does that today. But, man… Was it effective. I had NowThis videos earning 10M views. One of my videos was featured in a Stephen Colbert opening monologue in its entirety. I was pissing off elected Republicans on the hill, and my videos were killing the Republican brand.
That kind of effectiveness did not go unnoticed. Soon I had NRCC “minders” following me around on the Hill. And then the first accusation came, from James Damore and his Roger Stone-linked handler, Christie-Lee McNally. A week or so later, Heather Swift had me arrested and jailed on false charges. And just a few months later, the same thing happened again in Las Vegas.
Like I said, these accusations don’t emerge independently.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Instead, I’m convinced that this was a coordinated hit. They couldn’t stand the accountability I was bringing, so they did something about it.
That’s how you can help: I’m suing the RNC, NRCC, NRSC, RGA, the Daily Caller and 17 other organizations and individuals for conspiring to defame me and deprive me of my civil rights. To see this suit through to discovery will cost me at least $30,000. To see it through to the end of trial will cost another $50 or $60K. But I can only get there with your help.
Have you ever wondered what kind of filth lurks on GOP email servers? What kind of depravity is stored on their phones? Well, this lawsuit may be one way to find out.\
