Things just
keep getting worse for Donald
Trump!
The President
is now facing down a lawsuit claiming that he incited violence during a 2016
campaign rally in Louisville, Kentucky — and on Friday, a federal judge rule
d
that yes, that lawsuit CAN proceed!
The incident
in question came down at a rally in Louisville in March of 2016, when Trump
yelled "get 'em out of here" at an event where protestors had filled
the crowd.
The protestors
brought a suit against Trump, his campaign, and three of its Kentucky
supporters — claiming that his incitement had cause Trump supporters at the
rally to then attack them.
"It is
plausible that Trump's direction to 'get 'em out of here' advocated the use of
force. Unlike the statements at issue in the cases cited by the Trump
Defendants, 'get 'em out of here' is stated in the imperative; it was an order,
an instruction, a command."
Well there you
go — Trump himself may never see the inside of the courtroom on this one, but
it's just another lawsuit affecting the President (remember his Trump
University settlement?!) when he already has a TON of problems of his
own.
For what it's
worth, one of Trump's lawyers
said that the supporters named in the lawsuit were not acting n
behalf of the then-candidate.
And yet still,
the lawsuit proceeds.
Inneresting!!
