‘Shredding The Constitution’: Conservatives React To Latest Ruling Against Trump‚ Legal Cases

Conservatives blasted Democrats’ “lawfare” tactics on Tuesday‚ following a federal appeals court ruling that former President Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity from prosecution of alleged criminal acts relating to 2020 election interference. Trump’s team made the appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in connection to special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case‚ which Smith is notably trying to rush before the 2024 election. “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruling that President Donald Trump does not have immunity from prosecution sets a dangerous precedent‚ violates our Constitution‚ and threatens the very bedrock of our nation‚” Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY) said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire. “President Trump’s actions surrounding election integrity were within his official duties as the President as he was investigating legitimate Constitutional questions about the election‚” she continued. “The precedent set today by the D.C. Circuit’s decision means that future presidents who leave office will likely face politicized prosecutions by the opposing party.” Stefanik added that the president having immunity “is necessary for any presidency to function properly.” “I fully support President Trump’s efforts to appeal this unconstitutional ruling to the Supreme Court‚ where I expect a thoughtful decision to overturn this dangerous precedent‚” she closed the statement. Stefanik is also cosponsoring a resolution from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) which asserts that Trump did not engage in an insurrection or rebellion against the U.S.  “Rogue Democrat operatives are attempting to use this lie to illegally take President Trump off the ballot‚” Stefanik said‚ adding during her public comments that political opponents are “shredding the Constitution” in their pursuit to destroy Trump.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP I am honored to stand as an original cosponsor on @RepMattGaetz's resolution that President Donald Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States. That is a fact. Rogue Democrat operatives are attempting to use this lie to illegally take President… pic.twitter.com/ypbvKvhKqg — Rep. Elise Stefanik (@RepStefanik) February 6‚ 2024 Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R) also responded to the ruling on Tuesday‚ telling CNN reporter Manu Raju that the Left is using “lawfare” tactics against Trump. “I believe they have been after President Trump for partisan political purposes‚ I think that’s obvious‚ and we call it lawfare‚” Johnson said‚ “and I think there is no other way to describe it.” Asked Speaker Johnson this AM about Trump losing immunity case in court and whether he thinks he should get immunity. “I believe they have been after President Trump for partisan political purposes‚ I think that’s obvious‚ and we call it lawfare and I think there is no other way… pic.twitter.com/daT8fXtGQK — Manu Raju (@mkraju) February 6‚ 2024 Mollie Hemingway‚ the editor-in-chief of The Federalist‚ responded by linking to a piece she wrote in December about the rushed effort to prosecute Trump before the 2024 election. In the piece‚ Hemingway explains that the D.C. Circuit panel of judges that decided on Trump’s appeal was “particularly left-wing‚ even for the left-leaning D.C. Circuit.” Notably‚ the panel changes each month. “Karen Henderson‚ the 79-year-old appointee of George H.W. Bush‚ is on the panel. More importantly‚ two relatively young Biden appointees named J. Michelle Childs and Florence Pan are also on the panel‚” Hemingway wrote. “Panels in the coming months will reportedly not be as left-wing as the December panel. The scheduling question‚ then‚ becomes one of how hostile the panel of judges will be to Trump’s appeal.” “By setting an aggressive schedule‚ the December panel can keep with the case and help ensure Democrats can get their conviction in time for it to affect the election‚” she asserted. Trump is expected to appeal the court’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court could in theory reject to hear the question on immunity and the appeals court’s decision would stand. If the court does take up the case‚ the decision could derail Smith’s case‚ delay it past the 2024 election‚ or it could fall before the 2024 election. In theory‚ if Trump won the White House‚ the Department of Justice could dismiss the charges‚ which Trump has argued are part of a “witch-hunt” and clear political targeting. Or‚ as president‚ he could pardon himself. Related: Appeals Court Denies Trump’s Immunity Claim In 2020 Election Interference Case

Grammy Awards See Huge Bump In Viewership For First Time Since Pandemic

The 2024 Grammy Awards saw a huge bump in viewership for the first time since the COVID pandemic struck four years earlier. CBS scored 17 million viewers in final same-day ratings for Sunday’s broadcast of the 66th annual awards show‚ according to The Hollywood Reporter. It was an increase of 36% over the number of viewers who tuned in to watch the biggest night in music in 2023 when the show attracted 12.55 million viewers. The awards show was also up by 40% in the coveted 18-49 age demographic compared to last year‚ the outlet noted. The numbers on CBS don’t include those who streamed the show on Paramount+‚ with live viewership up 173% over last year‚ the network noted in a press release. #GRAMMYs Ratings Surge For CBS With Big Win For Taylor Swift‚ Big Performances By Tracy Chapman &; Joni Mitchell https://t.co/r73x8We40F — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) February 5‚ 2024 On Sunday‚ the night was filled with one surprise after another‚ including Tracy Chapman returning to the spotlight for the first time in more than a decade to sing her hit song “Fast Car” with country singer Luke Combs‚ whose more gritty version of the song blew up the charts in 2023. Miley Cyrus scored not only her first Grammy Award ever but her second as well for her song “Flowers.” It took home Best Pop Solo Performance and then Record of the Year‚ beating out the likes of Billie Eilish‚ Olivia Rodrigo‚ Taylor Swift‚ and SZA‚ The Hollywood Reporter noted. There was also a surprise appearance from Grammy-winner Celine Dion‚ who cut her world tour short last year after being diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS). The 55-year-old singer‚ whose rare neurological disease forced her to cancel the remaining tour dates‚ walked onto the stage to a standing ovation. “When I say that I’m happy to be here‚ I really mean it from my heart‚” Dion said as she thanked the audience‚ calling the reception “beautiful.” “Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world‚” she added. “And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends‚ Diana Ross and Sting‚ presented to me twenty-seven years ago.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP History was also made when Taylor Swift became the first artist to win Album of the Year four times‚ this time for “Midnights‚” which also won Best Pop Vocal Album. The jump in Grammy Awards viewership followed that of the 2024 Golden Globes‚ which also experienced its first spike in the ratings game since 2020‚ with a 50% increase over last year.

WATCH: Al Sharpton Calls Migrant Crisis ‘Invasion’

WATCH: Al Sharpton Calls Migrant Crisis ‘Invasion’

Al Sharpton called the influx of illegal migrants an “invasion‚” drawing attention from many as the Left typically avoids such terminology. The prominent social justice activist and Baptist minister made the remarks on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday during an interview with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT). “What is being done to get the public to really rise up in various states to say to their senators that they want to see the borders — the border issue resolved?” Sharpton asked Murphy. Al Sharpton on MSNBC: "You're getting migrants beating up policemen in the streets of New York… We're looking every day at the invasion of migrants" pic.twitter.com/lqJy4wFqyS — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) February 6‚ 2024 “I mean‚ you’re getting migrants beating up policemen in the streets of New York‚” Sharpton continued. “You are seeing an influx of migrants all over the country that‚ frankly‚ have people outraged.” Sharpton asked whether there could be “some kind of public pressure” put on senators to the effect of‚ “Why are you allowing this to continue?” “Because at the end of the day‚ senators have to deal with their voters‚” Sharpton said. “And at the same‚ in the bill you give money to Gaza‚ to civilians in Gaza‚ and Israel‚” Sharpton said. “But the border‚ I mean‚ we’re looking every day at the invasion of migrants‚ and they are playing a time game with politics on this?” Cities including New York City‚ Chicago‚ and Denver are struggling to metabolize an influx of hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who have arrived since spring‚ 2022. Texas has sent more than 100‚000 migrants to sanctuary cities to ease the strain on border towns. Last week‚ several illegal migrants were arrested after allegedly beating up NYPD officers near Times Square. Several were subsequently released without bail. Former President Donald Trump has been criticized by the media for repeatedly using the term “invasion” to refer to the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants crossing the porous southern border. As recently as December‚ an article in The Washington Post called such language “dehumanizing.” “This is an invasion. This is like a military invasion‚” Trump said at a campaign event in Reno‚ Nevada in December. “Drugs‚ criminals‚ gang members and terrorists are pouring into our country at record levels. We’ve never seen anything like it. They’re taking over our cities.” Trump‚ the clear leader for the Republican presidential nomination‚ has said he would spearhead the “largest deportation operation in American history” should he be elected president again later this year. The former president famously kicked off his 2016 campaign with a speech that focused heavily on illegal immigration‚ saying Mexico was “not sending their best.” “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some‚ I assume‚ are good people‚” he said at the time. The former president’s emphasis on immigration helped make it a central issue of the election cycle. Some figures on the Right took notice of Sharpton’s language on Monday. “When Al Sharpton says‚ we have a problem on our southern border with an ‘invasion of migrants‚’ you know things have really gotten serious‚” former Trump advisor Roger Stone posted on X.

Inside ‘Black Lives Matter’ Spirit Week At The Wokest Elementary School In D.C.

Inside ‘Black Lives Matter’ Spirit Week At The Wokest Elementary School In D.C.

An elementary school in the nation’s capital held a spirit week encouraging young students to show up to school wearing colors inspired by Black Lives Matter and the ‘Pride’ flag‚ according to materials obtained by The Daily Wire. For the first week of Black History Month‚ Seaton Elementary School in Washington‚ D.C.‚ held a “Black Lives Matter at School!” spirit week that urged students to focus on race and sexual identity. Students were encouraged to wear red to represent “the blood that unites people of Black African ancestry.” On Tuesday‚ they were told to wear black to represent “members of the black community‚” and on Wednesday to wear green to represent “the abundant natural wealth of the continent of Africa.” Students were told on Thursday to “wear colors inspired by the Inclusive Rainbow Flag‚” showing an image of the “Pride” flag with designation for those who identify as transgender. On Friday‚ students were told to “wear logos inspired by BLM or historical black colleges and universities.”  Credit: The Daily Wire Schools across the country have been criticized by parents for emphasizing identity politics while educational achievement lags. A school in the San Francisco area paid $250‚000 to an organization called “Woke Kindergarten” to train teachers about racism and develop curriculums. Despite the money spent on the program‚ math and reading scores at the school have continued to decline‚ the San Francisco Chronicle reported.  While Seaton has a history of emphasizing diversity and equity‚ less than half of the students meet either reading or math expectations in the most recent school year‚ according to District data.  Located in D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood‚ the school has about 353 students in kindergarten through fifth grade‚ most of whom are black or Latino. Only 39% of students at Seaton met math expectations and just 33% met English expectations in the 2022-2023 school year.  The revelation of the spirit week comes as no surprise as the school’s website makes it clear that it focuses heavily on racial‚ ethnic‚ and sexual identity. Seaton’s website has a whole section devoted to “Diversity and Equity @ Seaton.”  The section features a quote from Learning for Justice‚ an initiative of the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center‚ that says: “All oppression — including that of LGBT individuals‚ refugees‚ immigrants‚ Muslims‚ women‚ people living in poverty and people with disabilities — negatively affects all lives.” The school says that it holds a “Black Lives Matter” week every year organized by the BLM at Seaton “to promote the significance [of] the BLM movement and Black History” and to “celebrate black excellence locally (in the DMV area) and throughout history (past‚ present‚ and future).” Last year‚ Seaton listed guiding principles for “BLM @ School” week‚ including “unapologetically black‚” “diversity‚” “black families‚” “black villages‚” “restorative justice‚” “black women‚” “queer affirming‚” “transgender affirming‚” and “globalism.” For the “unapologetically black” principle‚ which was listed as applicable to all students‚ the school said that it was part of the “Black Lives Matter movement.” For “black women‚” the guidelines say that “there are some people who think that women are less important than men” and that “all people are important and have a right to be safe and talk about their feelings.”  “Queer affirming” means that “everybody has a right to choose who they love and the kind of family they want by listening to their own heart and mind.” The principle of “transgender affirming” means that “everybody has the right to choose their own gender by listening to their own heart and mind. Everyone gets to choose if they are a girl or a boy or both or neither or something else‚ and no one else gets to choose for them.” Finally‚ “globalism” means “that we are thinking about all the different people all over the world‚ and thinking about ways to keep things fair everywhere.” Screen Shot: Seaton Elementary. The school recommends teachers read politically charged books to their students‚ including reading “Julian is a Mermaid‚” a book that appears to allude to transgenderism‚ and “When We Say Black Lives Matter” to those in pre-K or younger.  Kindergarteners are recommended similar books‚ including “Calvin‚” a story about a young girl who identifies as a boy. “Calvin has always been a boy‚ even if the world sees him as a girl. He knows who he is in his heart and in his mind but he hasn’t yet told his family‚” the book’s description says.  Teachers are also pointed to give students Black Lives Matter coloring books and teach them Black American Sign Language.  Seaton previously worked with the leftist Human Rights Campaign on an anti-bullying program that provided “LGBTQ-specific training and resources for elementary teachers.” The HRC has attacked states that have banned doctors and medical providers from performing transgender procedures on children.  Later this month‚ the school is bringing in an organization called SMYAL to teach families how they “can help make our school community even more welcoming for all students‚ including those who identify as LGBTQ+.” SMYAL says it’s for “LGBTQ youth ages 6-12 to find a safe(r) space to hang out and meet new people‚ access resources‚ and gain support.” The D.C.-based organization puts on programs at schools that “play games‚ read books‚ make arts and crafts‚ learn about the LGBTQ community and its history‚ and celebrate being wonderfully‚ uniquely ourselves!” In June 2023‚ representatives from the HRC and D.C. Public Schools Supervisor Lewis Ferebee showed up to Seaton to present it with an award for being “one of only 25 schools in the country to be recognized for creating and nurturing an inclusive school community.” “We believe that it crucial for our students to understand their identities and the world around them‚” Seaton states. “Understanding Equity and Diversity is a crucial piece in helping our students grow into scholars. To learn more please click on the different pages below.” Like many schools in the D.C. area‚ Seaton remained closed for months during the COVID pandemic and did not open for in-person instruction until early 2021.  Seaton’s principal Veronica Torres did not respond to a request for comment.

Ford Contracting Technology From Chinese Firms That Work For China’s Military‚ North Korea

Ford Contracting Technology From Chinese Firms That Work For China’s Military‚ North Korea

Ford Motor Company is planning to contract technology from several Chinese companies that work for the China’s communist government and military‚ as well as the North Korean government. The revelations were made in letters released this week by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI)‚ chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party‚ and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA)‚ chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Ford has come under intense scrutiny for months over its partnership with Chinese electric vehicle battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL). The scrutiny comes as Ford has lost billions of dollars on trying to produce electric vehicles and recently had to announce that they were cutting back the employees manufacturing the electric vehicles because the demand for them is so low that Ford is cutting their production in half. The four troubling companies that Ford is doing business with were included in Ford’s signed agreements with CATL‚ the letters said. The companies “will be intimately involved” in the proposed U.S. battery facility’s design‚ construction‚ and information technology (IT) processes. The names of the four companies were redacted in letters to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that recommended that the U.S. government launch investigations into the companies’ “direct ties to the [Chinese military]‚ the [Chinese Communist Party]‚ China’s Ministry of Public Security‚ the ongoing genocide of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang‚ and the North Korean government.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “It is unconscionable for Ford to purchase critical IT infrastructure from a Chinese company that facilitate sanctions evasion activity on behalf of the North Korean government‚” the letter said. “Indeed‚ this poses significant cybersecurity risks‚ including the potential for malicious actors to exploit the very connections and data flows iPaaS tools are designed to facilitate. The same company that is supplying IT products and software to entities that support the North Korean government will have the capability to embed backdoors‚ spyware‚ and other forms of malware within Ford’s iPaaS infrastructure‚ which could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of Ford’s sensitive information.” Related: Joe Manchin Slams Ford For Partnering With Chinese Company To Build Batteries: I’m ‘Totally Opposed’

Prince Harry Arrives In London Following King Charles’ Cancer Diagnosis

Prince Harry arrived in London on Tuesday‚ hours after Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer. The Duke of Sussex was spotted riding in the backseat of a black SUV that was entering the gates to the King’s residence at Clarence House‚ People magazine reported. “That is good‚” a source close to the royal household told the outlet.  “Hopefully [Harry] will bring the grandchildren at some point too‚ as that would be lovely for all of them.” The royal appears to have made the flight from Los Angeles to London solo‚ leaving the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle‚ and their two kids‚ Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet‚ at home in Southern California‚ the outlet noted. Prince Harry Has ‘No Plans’ to Reunite with Brother Prince William During U.K. Visit‚ Says Source https://t.co/0TP7gaSUpV — People (@people) February 6‚ 2024 The flight home marks the first trip back to the U.K. in months for the duke — whose relationship with his brother Prince William has been estranged following his initial decision to step down from his senior royal role alongside his wife in 2020. Sources have already shut down speculation that Prince Harry’s return could equal some kind of reconciliation between him and his brother amid their father’s diagnosis as the two reportedly have no plans of meeting while he’s in the U.K.‚ CNN noted. On Monday‚ the royal household announced that the king was diagnosed with cancer during his recent “hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.” “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer‚” the statement read. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments‚ during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.” “Throughout this period‚ His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual‚” the statement added. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention‚ which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.” “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer‚” the statement concluded. The royal household’s statement did not provide details about what kind of cancer the king was diagnosed with. The King ascended the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother‚ Queen Elizabeth II at 96. Charles’ reign became official in 2023 with his coronation in May at Westminster Abbey.

Mother Of Michigan School Shooter Found Guilty Of Involuntary Manslaughter

Mother Of Michigan School Shooter Found Guilty Of Involuntary Manslaughter

The mother of the teenager who gunned down four Oxford‚ Michigan‚ high school students in November 2021 was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday. She becomes the first parent in U.S. history to be convicted of crimes related to a mass school shooting carried out by her child. The mother — who‚ along with her husband and son‚ will not be named per Daily Wire policy — was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Oxford High School students Madisyn Baldwin‚ 17; Tate Myre‚ 16; Hana St. Juliana‚ 14; and Justin Shilling‚ 17‚ The Detroit Free Press reported. The jury began deliberations on Monday and continued for 11 hours before reaching its verdict‚ according to ABC News. “I feel most of all that the cries have been heard and I feel that this verdict is going to echo throughout every household in the country‚” said Craig Shilling‚ whose son Justin was killed in the shooting. “We all have work now. We all know that we are to be held responsible for anything that we do‚” he added. Prosecutors argued throughout the trial that the parents failed to give their troubled son the mental health help he needed. His father also bought his son‚ who was 15 at the time‚ a 9mm handgun that he used in the deadly shooting just four days later. The shooter’s father‚ who is also charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter‚ faces a separate trial in March. On the morning before the shooter’s rampage‚ school officials called his parents to the school after discovering violent pictures that their son had drawn on a school assignment. The school administrators reportedly encouraged the parents to take their son home and find him mental health help right away. The shooter’s parents said they couldn’t take him home since they both had to return to work‚ and promised to get him help. But a few hours later‚ their son opened fire on his classmates‚ killing four and wounding seven others. The mother’s lawyer Shannon Smith argued that the school officials didn’t appear very concerned about her son’s mental state in their meeting on the day of the shooting‚ adding that if the mother had known the seriousness of her son’s condition‚ she could have either brought him with her to work or gone home with him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP According to evidence shown during the trial‚ the shooter’s mother said in a text message to Brian Meloche — a man she was having an affair with at the time of the shooting — that the shooting “could have been prevented” and blamed school staff for allowing her son to return to class. The teenage shooter pleaded guilty to 24 counts‚ including first-degree premeditated murder and terrorism causing death. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole in December.

Gina Carano Sues Disney After Elon Musk Offers Legal Help

Gina Carano Sues Disney After Elon Musk Offers Legal Help

Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney on Tuesday‚ three years after the entertainment giant cut ties with the star actress from its “Star Wars” spinoff show “The Mandalorian” after what it deemed “offensive” social media posts. Carano announced on X on Tuesday that her lawsuit‚ filed in the U.S. federal court for the Central District of California‚ was prompted in part by an offer from Elon Musk. The billionaire entrepreneur said in August of last year that X would fund the legal bill of anyone who was “unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform.” The lawsuit alleges that Carano was wrongfully terminated‚ losing millions of dollars in income‚ and seeks to force Lucasfilm to recast her. Musk responded to Carano’s post‚ writing‚ “Please let us know if you would like to join the lawsuit against Disney.” Please let us know if you would like to join the lawsuit against Disney https://t.co/FnMxhUQvVA — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 6‚ 2024 The actress was axed by Disney after she posted a screenshot of another social media post that warned of the current political climate resembling Nazi Germany. Her post read‚ “Jews were beaten in the streets‚ not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited‚ most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews‚ the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” Disney faced massive backlash for its actions against Carano‚ while some of the actress’s fellow castmates defended her “gracious” character. Shortly after the high-profile termination‚ The Daily Wire announced that it had partnered with the former mixed martial artist for a movie deal that resulted in the feature film “Terror on the Prairie‚” which premiered in June 2022. “Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm &; @Disney‚” Carano wrote in her announcement of the lawsuit against Disney. “After my 20 years of building a career from scratch‚ and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek‚ Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter‚ terminating me from The Mandalorian: ‘Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm &; there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless‚ her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural &; religious identities are abhorrent &; unacceptable.’” “Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time‚” the actress continued. “My words were consistently twisted to demonize &; dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing‚ destroying &; making an example out of me.” Her post continued: “The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes‚ pictures‚ memes &; occasionally I used my own words‚ not with aggression but with respect &; the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.” “Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself‚ for example‚ where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn’t. Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist‚ was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No. Look at why I was called a transphobe–for making droid noises from Star Wars? ‘Beep‚ bop‚ boop’ was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people.” “Were my questions about masks‚ lockdowns &; forced vaccines ok to ask &; push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.” “Hollywood says they support female representation &; equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment &; re-education courses or termination‚ but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech.” “Artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment. I have spoken to all my co-stars since I was fired &; there is nothing but care and kind words between us. I respect their right to free speech &; do not have to think the same on every issue to be their friends &; work with them &; I know they feel the same towards me.” “A couple months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech‚ he would like to offer these people legal representation. Quite the noble offer‚ but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still‚ I did respond back ‘I think I qualify’ &; thousands of people agreed–but I did not expect anything.” “To my surprise‚ a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story &; many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months‚ my now lawyers &; X believe whole-heartedly in my case &; are moving forward.” “I would like to express my deepest gratitude &; thank you to @ElonMusk &; @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.” “As for me‚ I would love to pick up where I left off &; continue my journey of creating &; participating in story-telling‚ which is my utmost passion &; everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies &; labels stuck on me‚ backed &; encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world. I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way &; look forward to clearing my name.” “Thank you to all the people who have supported me &; made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each &; every one of you.”
