The New York Times better watch out. Sarah Palin recently hired Hulk Hogan’s law team to take on the newspaper, filing a lawsuit for defamation.
From Breitbart:
On Tuesday evening, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin hired Hulk Hogan’s lawyers and sued the New York Times for defamation for falsely accusing her in a June 14 editorial of inciting Jared Lee Loughner to shoot Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ). The Times’ editorial was published on the day that James Hodgkinson shot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) while he was practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game with his GOP teammates.
“Today, Sarah Palin took a stand against The New York Times Company by filing a lawsuit which seeks to hold The Times accountable for stating that Governor Palin is part of a ‘sickeningly familiar pattern’ of politically motivated violence and that she incited the horrific 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords, a tragedy where the gunman seriously wounded numerous people and killed 6, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl,” Palin’s lawyers—Ken Turkel, Shane Vogt, and S. Preston Ricardo—said in a statement.
Hulk Hogan’s law filed suit and successfully beat Gawker in court, after they posted a sex tape of Hogan to their website. In the end, Hogan was awarded $31 Million, and Gawker closed after going bankrupt.
Do you think The New York Times should be worried about this lawsuit? Let us know in the comments.
