Rittenhouse to sue Biden campaign for libel - PhilHos - 10-01-2020 https://www.foxnews.com/us/kyle-rittenhouses-attorney-sue-joe-biden-campaign-libel Quote:An attorney representing alleged Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has announced plans to sue Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his campaign for libel on his client's behalf after Biden shared a video that appears to suggest the teenager is a White supremacist. I presume Biden will, at the very least, take the ad down and edit it to take out Rittenhouse. I would think he will also most likely settle the case before it goes to court, but who knows?

But I'm sure it's just a clumsy gaff RE: Rittenhouse to sue Biden campaign for libel - jj22 - 10-01-2020 As many edited videos as Trump shares on Twitter? This will be dismissed. It always amazes me the party supposedly against frivolous lawsuits is the most guilty party. Rather it is suing a cow, or suing someone who retweeted something. He's clearly a snowflake, and a clear partisan who killed for political reasons. This should open Trump up to a number of Lawsuits if it goes through (which is why it won't). We can rehash this case, but this kid crossed state lines with a loaded weapon meant for mass destruction with the intent to kill protesters and cause violence (knowing conservatives would blame protesters). He should rot in prison even if he is funded by "Christian" groups in financial support of murderers of BLM protesters. These "Christian" groups have okay'd the murders of these protesters, by pledging financial support of those willing to go kill. Jesus surely has wept the last 4 years. RE: Rittenhouse to sue Biden campaign for libel - Benton - 10-01-2020 I doubt he'll have much luck. It flashes the suspected shooter's picture while playing Wallace's quote about "supremacists and militia groups." Rittenhouse was a self-proclaimed militia member and it's my understanding that's what his legal team is hoping to hang the defense on, that he was justified in opening fire because he acting as a militia member in defense of others. He may not like being lumped in with white supremacists, but they've put themselves on the same side of opposing social reforms.

Wallace specifically added militias and then referenced violence in Kenosha, which is when they showed his photo.

They may be on the same side of opposing social reforms but it's still slander/libel to claim he's something he's not especially something as charged as a white supremacist.

You don't need consent to share a video that is already public. Even if it is of a "private citizen". That's why he isn't suing the person who made the video.

In Maryland for example, the only stipulation is no audio recording without permission. That's why he can use video of all of the people who marched at the Neo Nazi organized Unite the Right rally.

The "without consent" wasn't the point I was trying to make but I neglected to include the actual point I wanted to make. I meant making fun of private citizens. (That's what I get for trying to post at work inbetween customers.) Let me try again: How many of those include slanderous attacks on private citizens?

If Trump slandered/libeled private citizens via Twitter or any other means, I would support said private citizens suing him as well. RE: Rittenhouse to sue Biden campaign for libel - bfine32 - 10-01-2020 Surprised to see the first defense of the Commercial in this forum is "Well Trump". As to the Law suit; who knows. That terrible Catholic kid with that Red Hat intimidating that poor elderly Native American gentleman got paid.

Well we could have went with the obvious. Democrats get sued for sharing a tweet, while Republicans (Trump) gets defended or rarely criticized by those who support this lawsuit against a Dem. Which one do you prefer? Either way, the one's supporting this suit rarely take issue (or seem to not know of) with Trumps many retweets and attacks on private citizens. Which once again highlights the different standards of Dems and Republicans. We have to quit mocking people for pointing out hypocrisy.

You and I living in two different states know who this “private citizen” is thus making him a public figure.

This very forum is a perfect example of Republicans (Trump) rarely getting criticized.

Trump has a very unique defense though (and I swear I am not making this up...it's been discussed before) that his lawyers (and courts) say "that's just Trump". Literally the defense in several suits has been that you just can't take it seriously because he talks like that all the time. He's just being Trump to be taken seriously when he calls someone ugly or a liar. Or they can say it is his JOB is to respond to things people say he said and did. Slander is difficult to prove and win.

I'm not a lawyer but I don't think that qualifies him as a public figure, in the legal sense.
