PA governor candidate Shapiro faces defamation suit over campaign ads

JTN:

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, currently the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, faces a defamation suit from a local woman whom he has repeatedly referenced in campaign ads.

Toni Shuppe, co-founder of Audit the Vote PA, has called for a forensic audit of the 2020 election in the state, per the Epoch Times. Shapiro’s campaign materials have repeatedly referenced her activities and made pejorative statements about Shuppe in TV ads, press releases and social media posts. In one instance, the campaign quoted a Vice News article calling her a “QAnon-linked, election-denying conspiracy theorist hell-bent on upending the current election system.”

Shuppe, however, insists that none of the Shapiro camp’s assertions about her are true and she is now suing Shapiro, alongside campaign manager Dana Fritz, for defamation. more

  1. It would be interesting to see how it would play out if Shuppe were to publicly broadcast exactly the same things about Shapiro that he’s been saying about Shuppe. And I do mean EXACTLY THE SAME.
