    “…after the podcaster falsely claimed in multiple episodes of her podcast “Candace” that Brigitte is a transgender man”

    Pretty sure that’s not correct, Politico.

    I’m also not sure saying someone is transgender should count as defamation. There’s nothing wrong with being transgender

    *the fuck is wrong with you people?

      Its a false statement being advertised as fact to third parties, and its likely Candace either knew it was a lie or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. Not gonna say its open and shut, but I doubt it’d be a tough case either.
