Well they can't use their usual go-to of blaming a black man.  Their only choice is, in their view, "one of the good ones" who is married to a white woman known to be a supporter of January 6.  So he's going to go for the Dr. Brown Jackson, who is not only black but a woman so he gets a two-fer.  Yeah, it deviates from the usual pattern but since the underlying issue involves stripping women of fundamental rights, it works here.  (I am appalled that I can think like a Newsmax talking head.)

Yes, the person not yet on the court leaked from the court. Because she is a black woman.

OAN Finally Admits ‘No Widespread Voter Fraud’ After Settling Defamation Suit

Quote

The right-wing cable network One America News Network on Monday ran a pre-recorded 30-second segment acknowledging that there was “no widespread voter fraud” by Georgia election workers in the 2020 presidential election. The segment appears to be part of a recent settlement relating to a defamation lawsuit brought against the network by two such workers.

The segment notes that an investigation by state officials into unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud made by ex-President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani turned up nothing. “The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct,” a narrator states.

“A legal matter with this network and the two election workers has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement,” the voiceover adds.

Freeman and her daughter, Moss, say they were harassed online and in person after baseless rumors began circulating online, due in part to content published by the conspiracy website The Gateway Pundit, which the pair also sued. In January 2021, when Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to try to “find” votes to overturn the state’s election results, he mentioned Freeman’s name 18 times. Freeman was also visited by a publicist for Kanye West, who threatened her in an effort to extract a confession about committing election fraud.

And if that weren’t enough, video of the pair doing their jobs was hyped up by Rudy Giuliani—and Sean Hannity—who falsely claimed that it showed “blatant, clear, obvious” fraud. While speaking to Georgia State House Republicans about the video during a Zoom meeting in December 2020, Giuliani at one point can be heard saying, “We should try to get this on Newsmax and OANN.”

Freeman and Moss sued Giuliani as well, and that case is ongoing.

I like Rick and George's reply to Dersh:

OANN is going to be kicked off Verizon FIOs on 7/31. Supposedly that’s the last major cable provider that has carried them. I hope we can get rid of Faux and Newsmax too.

Yeah I heard about that too.  Thing is that while it doesn't look like Roku or Chromecast have OANN channels FireTV does.  I guess a big factor in whether it survives or not is how well it can transition over to streaming only.  If most of their brain dead auidence follows them over it might not be as easy to get rid of them as we hope.  Guess we'll just have to see.

"This wouldn't be happening if....Trump was still in office."  Yeah, that's pretty much the whole point, you coke addled Dollar Store bottle of hairspray.  It's because of the things he did WHILE in office that he wasn't supposed to do as POTUS and immediately after leaving office that he wasn't supposed to do as a former POTUS that resulted in investigations and this search warrant.  If he was still in office, he would still be using the government in nefarious and illegal ways to continue to cover up his sketchy and probably illegal actions so thanks for just pointing out exactly why he needs to never hold office ever again.  Not even local dog catcher.

Of course Blago has to whine on Newsmax.
