Roslyn La Liberte, who wore a red "Make America Great Again" cap when the incident occurred, filed the lawsuit in Eastern District Court of New York on Tuesday, claiming that Reid "used her substantial social media presence, fame, and reputation as a hard-hitting journalist" to inform her Twitter followers that La Liberte "screamed abhorrent racial slurs" at a 14-year-old boy, Joseph Luevanos.
At a city council meeting at Simi Valley, Calif., a photo went viral last June when it seemed as if La Liberte was involved in a heated conversation with the boy in question.
According to La Liberte, Reid sent a bunch of tweets claiming the viral photo showed the Trump supporter screaming in the face of the boy and Reid then retweeted to her myriad followers that La Liberte "needs to be put on blast."
The suit claims Reid falsely tweeted that La Liberte showed up "to a rally" and "screamed" that Luevanos is "going to be the first deported," and called the child a "dirty Mexican" in the confrontation.
The suit states that Reid wasn't present at the event [the City Council meeting], not a political "rally," and that she "made up out of whole cloth the accusation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs."
To MSNBC, that's tough-fisted journalism, but to the rest of us, it's fake news.
Interestingly, the boy in the photo, Joseph Luevanos, told a local Fox affiliate that the conversation he and La Liberte had was civil and that La Liberte doesn't deserve to be harassed as a result of the viral photo.
The conversation was actually captured on video [see below] and does not coincide with Reid's claim that La Liberte yelled racial slurs or mistreated the boy in any way.
The lawsuit claims that Reid "made up" the allegation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs at the boy--resulting in an onslaught of hateful and threatening messages aimed at La Liberte.
"Reid's accusation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs at the boy in the photograph are false," the suit states. "Reid set out to destroy La Liberte because she disagrees with La Libete's MAGA hat and the beliefs Reid ascribes to those wearing that hat conflict with her ideology."
La Liberte is seeking at least $75,000 in damages. MSNBC is not named as a defendant in the suit.
"Reid has a demonstrable, extreme, and well-publicized bias against President Donald Trump, his supporters, and the Republican Party. Reid has been described as the 'heroine of the resistance to President Trump's leadership," the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also states that Reid, like so many leftists, deleted the posts after being reached by Liberte's counsel. She has nothing to hide, eh?
"It appears I got this wrong. My apologies to Mrs. La Liberte and Joseph," the leftist Reid tweeted.
So how could she have possibly gotten it wrong?
She wasn't there and she did nothing to corroborate her words. She wanted it to be true, so part of her may have believed it without any evidence. That's how leftists/liberals/progressives/socialists think.
It felt true. It felt believable.
But even her feeble retraction was garbage. It was evasive and equivocal. She never said that "this" is and what she got "wrong." She even used the word 'appear' to avoid honesty to the truth.
At the start of this year, Reid had posted homophobic and other hateful posts on her blog before she became famous. She claimed [aka lied] that her blog was hacked and that she never wrote such things. But in April, she got all misty and snot-seeping on air admitting it seemed unlikely she was hacked, but claimed she didn't recall writing such hateful crap. But she apologized anyway.
Because she wrote the hateful crap and she knows it.
She's as convincing as Hillary Clinton saying that all women accusers are to be believed.
