I wish they would sue him for libel so bad

Wouldn’t make a dent in his wealth even if they did, sadly.

Maybe a few years in a maximum security prison (“for his safety” of course) could help.

Libel is a civil issue, not criminal

Depends on how you calculate damages.

The more public-facing a person you are, the harder it is to sue for libel. Suing for libel as a presidential candidate is a catastrophically stupid decision. Not only are you subject to discovery (in this case, Kamala would have to submit her entire wardrobe to the public record to prove she doesn’t own a red Stalinist-chik pantsuit), and she would lose the lawsuit anyway because presidential candidates are about as “public figure” as you can get.

It would be the worst possible fight to pick right now. Could you imagine the field-day the right would have if her entire wardrobe were to be made public?

Yeah a better response would be to just dunk on him in some way on social media and call it a day.

Bingo. Progressives have been handling fascists with kid gloves for too long. Time to start ripping on them for being the sad losers they are.
