Lincoln Project ads in Times Square (Twitter).

Attorneys representing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are threatening to sue the Lincoln Project over two Times Square billboards criticizing the administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Lincoln Project posted a copy of a letter sent by attorney Marc Kasowitz.

“I am writing concerning the false, malicious and defamatory ads that the Lincoln Project is displaying on billboards in Times Square,” Kasowitz wrote.

“Those ads show Ms. Trump smiling and gesturing toward a death count of Americans and New Yorkers, and attribute to Mr. Kushner the statement that “[New Yorkers] are going to suffer and that’s their problem” (alteration in original), with body bags underneath,” the letter read.

are in the public domain...the grifting duo may work for the orange idiot but our tax dollars pay their salaries...

[elleng]

6. and they continue to accrue their salaries,

notwithstanding the billboard(s.)

[napi21]

2. Go for it. There are a lot of smart people i the Lincoln Project I', reasonably sure they know

most of the laws re: public figures the suit will just cost the princess her accomplice money that they HATE to part with.

[RockRaven]

5. Also, if any lawsuit proceeds to any degree, you get to discovery.... Trumps never get past that

phase when they are the plaintiff... They always run away, because they have too much to hide.

[Sherman A1]

16. Yup,

This is just a bullying tactic, nothing more.

[SergeStorms]

4. Poor Princess Plastic and Jerk-Off Jared....

did they get their little feelings hurt? Too bad, you spoiled sacks of snake shit. Neither one of you belonged in the White House to begin with, and neither one of you could pass a background security check. If not for Princess Plastic's Daddy neither one would be allowed to visit the White House. Justice will catch up to you some day. It may not be for years, but you'll finally get what you both so richly deserve.

7. Remember W's spokesman Ari Fleischer

"Watch what you say...watch what you do". Jared and Ivanka: did you meet this test?

Good grief: W and Trump-no wonder the USA is on the brink of cataclysmic failure.

[usajumpedtheshark]

8. How dare the Lincoln Project correctly quote his own words!

[Ohio Dem]

12. Beat me to it.

I was gonna Google to make sure, but now I don't have to.

[Tactical Peek]

9. The Lincoln Project response:

Link to tweet

The Lincoln Project@ProjectLincoln

Jared and Ivanka have always been entitled, out-of-touch bullies who have never given the slightest indication they have any regard for the American people.

We plan on showing them the same level of respect.

Our full statement:

[elleng]

10. GREAT!

SUCH collaborators!!!

[BigmanPigman]

11. ....

[onetexan]

20. Ditto!! K&R you reap what you sow.

[Yeehah]

22. Love the billboards and the response

Good to remember after Nov. 4 these Lincoln Project folks won't be on our side anymore. I hope Democrats have learned to play hardball.

[Bengus81]

26. KICK!!

[marble falls]

32. As another George would say ...

[DeminPennswoods]

43. Translation: No quarter

nt

[Aussie105]

13. Lawyer for the pampered ones says:

"We don't like your billboards!"

Lincoln Project response: Oh? Please point out any factual inaccuracies! Too bad, sucks to be their lawyer! See you in court! First amendment rights, and all that.

[smb]

45. Is Kasowitz Gonna Reach Into His Legal Briefs And Whip Out A Subpeonis Like Guiliani? nt

[Ohio Dem]

14. Nothing like drawing more attention to it to make it go away.

I don't want to insult boxes of rocks. Or boxes of hair for that matter. They're, what? Dumber that a box of dead grass? Is that unduly mean to dead grass? Or boxes in general? It's getting difficult to properly insult these fuckers.

[ananda]

15. Lol - so now it gets even more attention!

Be careful of unintended consequences ...

[Vinca]

17. Sorry, kids, no case. You chose to be public figures and those are actual quotes.

[brooklynite]

18. But NYC is a Ghost Town, so nobody's here to see it...

[Illumination]

19. The Lincoln Project must be trembling with fear having to go against those 2 dodos!

[Maxheader]

21. Is this their first lawsuit.?

I thought they had another defamation suit going...

The sign? Is it supposed to be pro..xxxx? Or just giving giving the

Royal couple some shit?...

[lanlady]

23. Yet Rudy Giuiliani and the NY Post

are free to promote slanders, fabrications, and lies concerning the Biden family, courtesy of Russian intelligence?

[Roy Rolling]

24. Snowflakes?

I was always proud when something I created for a client would merit a letter from the competition’s attorneys.

It was a badge of honor to know I’d hit a nerve.

[dawn5651]

25. i think she was hawking goya beans and seems to me i remember that jared did say it was their

problem back on september 18th

[Drum]

34. That's ivanka's bean pic...minus the can. Brilliant! n/t

[GreenEyedLefty]

27. I hope they do sue and I bet TLP would look forward to discovery

What blows my mind is the letter was written by a name partner of that firm. What a maroon.

[turbinetree]

28. Lock them up..................

They have Blood On there hands, they are just as psychopath as that orange hair narcissistic homicidal maniac ..........end of story............

[mahina]

29. First, as I understand it, truth is a perfect defense, plus which they are public figures.

So based on my limited understanding as a civilian and not a lawyer, I think legal term is, they can go eat a bug.

I’ll be curious to know what the legal minds here would think

[paleotn]

30. Go right ahead. Sue.

See where that gets ya.

[pfitz59]

31. History will not be kind to Jared and Ivanka

WTF were they doing, anyway? Let them sue.

[marble falls]

33. Filing a baseless law suit, just like daddy.

[truthisfreedom]

35. why don't they have kids?

[mahina]

37. They do

Poor little kids!

[Talitha]

36. Their daddy's been after Hunter Biden, though - what did they expect?

[George II]

38. Here's the exact quote from Vanity Fair:

That quote on the billboard is accurate. They just substituted "His people" (i.e., Cuomo's) with "New Yorkers".

“Cuomo didn’t pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state…. His people are going to suffer and that’s their problem.”

[Kid Berwyn]

39. Thank you!

Jarvanka monetized politics.

[oldsoftie]

40. Sorry, public figures are open to more criticism than common folk.

Lawsuit will never be filed

[Turbineguy]

41. I wouldn't go there if I were them.

They might end up with a class action suit from the entire US population for the damage they and their sicko Dad did.

[Retrograde]

42. For someone who wants to be the first female US president

she has an awfully thin skin. How on earth will she deal with the slings and slurs of a real campaign? Or does she just expect Daddy to appoint her?

Suck it up, Jarvanka - you're both presidential advisors with offices in the West Wing, which makes you political figures. If Jared remembers his law courses, that means you have a higher standard to meet when it comes to public ridicule - it comes with the job. And Jared - dealing with the covid epidemic was specifically your job if you recall. Princess, I have no idea what it is you do expect gad about spending our money and getting in front of cameras.

[smb]

44. Hey, Mr. Kasowitz...

...some asshole forged your letterhead and signature and sent out an idiot letter in your name. You might want to do something about that.

[brush]

46. They probably need to look at leaving the country too with their loser father/

father-in-law because if they think they can go back to whence the came—on the fringe of millennial NYC society—they can forget about it.

They are now pariahs and personas-non-grata and suing won't reverse that.
