Dominion: Sue Limbaugh Now



The rabid, seditionist losers that have pushed the Big Lie that demagogue and mentally unstable Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump had the election stolen by rigged Dominion Voting Systems machines are facing enormous lawsuits by that company. From the crackpot Trump-worshiping MyPillow Guy to gaseous, bug-eyed Trump impeachment fomenter, loony Rudy "Toot Toot" Giuliani, Dominion is going after them with solid defamation suits. 

There's another one that seems to have prepared Dominion's case for them: gutter-dwelling, far right-wing hate radio figure Rush "Limpballs" Limbaugh. Dominion sent him a warning letter in December to stop lying about their machines. Limbaugh (isn't he dead yet?) is suffering from terminal lung cancer and may not be around much longer (what's keeping him?). One last shot at the s.o.b. would be so satisfying, even if it only succeeds in draining his estate. As Media Matters documents, he's been at the forefront of the Big Lie about the election:

"Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly promoted debunked conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems as part of his broader campaign to undermine the credibility of the 2020 presidential election. [snip]

Limbaugh repeatedly promoted [Trump attorney Sidney] Powell’s false accusations against the company in November and continued to spread false information about Dominion in the following months. The host, who has received the Medal of Freedom from former President Donald Trump in 2020, remains one of the most influential voices in right-wing media and has an estimated weekly audience of more than 15 million listeners.

In addition to suggesting that Dominion’s systems were designed to manufacture Democratic victories, Limbaugh has also falsely claimed that Dominion is 'owned and operated' by former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and that Dominion executives were seen 'fleeing the jurisdiction' following the election."

Media Matters lists 10 specific instances where Limbaugh (is he dead yet?) has spread the damaging lie to his 15 million followers. In terms of negative impact on their business, this should be another slam dunk for Dominion, but time is running out on the garbage-spewing fascist. Sue him now, and bigly.
