Nebraska Dem Sues Hate Group Over “Groomer” Tweet

Courthouse News reports:

A Nebraska state senator is suing a conservative political action committee for defamation after it called her a groomer on Twitter.

According to the complaint filed in Douglas County District Court on Wednesday, the Nebraska Freedom Coalition called state Senator Megan Hunt a “groomer” in a Tweet published March 22, which included childhood photos of her now 13-year-old, transgender son. The group also published a tweet on March 24 in which it described the Democratic lawmaker’s “skills” as ” grooming children, including her own.”

The tweets were published after Hunt shared that her son was transgender on the floor of the Legislature during a debate on a measure that would restrict gender-affirming care for those younger than 19.

Hunt last appeared on JMG in February 2023 when she responded to an anti-drag bill with a troll amendment that would bar parents from enrolling their children in “religious indoctrination camps.” The final April 1st tweet below is pinned to the top of the hate group’s feed.

This is an amendment that I will use to make a point about the underlying bill, LB371, which bans all-ages drag shows. It won’t pass, I would withdraw it if it had the votes to pass. It’s a device to make a point. We need not clench nor worry. https://t.co/aUgwBtN1QG

God does not want us cowering in the trenches while Satan rampages through our institutions and the world.

God has tasked us with proclaiming Truth and shining His light into the darkest of places.

In light of these accusations against us, we want to start with an apology.

We’re so sorry for calling Megan a groomer for actively transitioning her daughter to a son while simultaneously advocating for the right to chop the breasts off her “son”. Definitely NOT groomer… https://t.co/N1akEqpQDt
