Totally normal* administration:
Less than five years after urging rioters to “kill” police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration.
*For fascists, that is.
NPR has obtained police bodycam footage from multiple angles of the former defendant and current administration official, Jared Wise, berating officers and calling them “Nazi” and “Gestapo.”
(Yeah, that didn’t work out so well for the Nazis, either.)
They can get some people, though…
It’s always projection with the right, always.
Now is the time for a general strike. I mean, it has been the time, but we should do it now.
His site was requiring a sign up for a while, it’s now back to anyone can view posts.
But it’s littered with questionable ads now. It’s one post and then a couple ads.
I guess his base is more likely to fall for these.

It works for Alex Jones.

In the United States, there are no words that are de jure defamation just by the words themselves. The First Amendment has been interpreted very liberally in this regard. So, for a person who is not a public figure, the elements of defamation are (1) saying something false to third person about someone, (2) knowing at the time that the statement was false, and (3) that some actual damage occurred as a result of the statement. In the case of public figures, in addition to those three elements, you also have to show actual malice. In other words, that the harm that occurred was actually intended. In the United States, we have a very high bar for public figures to claim defamation.
Now, if someone uses specific language like “convicted sex offender,” will that make the case easier to prove? Maybe. But context is everything is these cases.
