Well, well. The chickens are coming home to roost in Jim Hoft's empty head:
The founder of the Gateway Pundit, the infamous conspiracy theory site, announced on Wednesday that the company had declared bankruptcy.
Jim Hoft published a message on the website that read, “TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet.”
Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, sued the Gateway Pundit in December of 2021, alleging that Jim and Joe Hoft, twin brothers, behind the conspiracy theory site engaged in “a campaign of lies” that “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.”
The Gateway Pundit saw its traffic soar surrounding the 2020 presidential election as it published story after story parroting then-President Donald Trump’s roundly debunked allegations of election fraud that led to the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol...
Years ago, we essentially stopped writing about the assorted cranks, crackpots, insurrectionists, and mouth- breathers that occupy the right- wing blogosphere. Amplifying their bullshit, even in a small way, is an exercise unworthy of anyone cherishing the truth and our democratic system of government. But in this case, the man rightfully dubbed "the dumbest man on the internet", along with his dim twin Joe, deserves at least a momentary glance -- hopefully in the rear view mirror -- as they're held accountable for just a fraction of their slimy transgressions.
