A Trump supporter sues Fox No News for lying about his involvement on 1/6/21. Oh, yeah, Tabloid Carlson's in the mix, too

 When a news organization such as Fox News is so obsessively engrossed in spreading lies about the 2020 election and the subsequent insurrection two months later in Washington, they're bound to turn on one of their own viewers.

According to Ray Epps, that's exactly what they did, or, more specifically, now-former Fox garbage peddler Tucker "Tabloid" Carlson did.

Carlson & his former employers are being sued by Epps for defamation. The suit was filed in Delaware, the same state that is home to President Joe Biden, and where Fox News lost a defamation suit filed by Dominion Voting Systems earlier this year.

Epps is an admitted supporter of former president Donald Trump. Voted for Trump in both the 2016 & 2020 elections. He bought into the big lie that the election was stolen, but on January 6, 2021, Epps chose not to enter the Capitol. That he wasn't arrested led Carlson & Fox No News to insinuate, constantly, that Epps was secretly working for the FBI, a falsehood that Fibber Jordan and his cast of idiots tried to use when FBI director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, mind you, testified today.

What Epps had in mind on 1/6/21 was more of a peaceful protest, which the GOPers would like you to believe actually happened, but the video says otherwise, 2 1/2 years later. Epps, we must understand, felt betrayed by Fox No News & Carlson, hence the suit. He & his wife had to move out of their Arizona home, his wife had to give up her dog breeding business, because of death threats from some of the looser screws of MAGA World.

If Fox gets the same judge that ruled against them in the Dominion case, Epps has a good shot at winning. How long will it take before Trump turns on Epps, though? I shan't be surprised if it's before the end of the week.
