Can Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss sue Trump and Giuliani and file criminal charges against them too? [View all]

Washington Post: Election workers describe ‘hateful’ threats after Trump’s false claims


Shaye Moss’s life forever changed on Dec. 10, 2020, when Rudy Giuliani, then President Donald
Trump’s top campaign lawyer, publicly claimed that she and her mother, a fellow poll worker in
Fulton County, Ga., had rigged the outcome in her state.

“It was just a lot of horrible things there,” Moss said at a hearing Tuesday before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Many of the messages were racist and “hateful,” said Moss, who is Black. “A lot of threats wishing death upon me, telling me I’ll be in jail with my mother and saying things like, ‘Be glad it’s 2020 and not 1920.’ ”

That was only the beginning. Moss eventually stopped going to the grocery store, where she feared acquaintances might say her name and call attention from believers of Trump’s voter-fraud claims. Election deniers showed up at the home of her grandmother and tried to push their way in to search for evidence of fraud. Both she and her mother, Ruby Freeman, were forced into hiding. They quit their jobs with the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, where Moss had proudly served as a poll worker for more than a decade.

Trump also attacked Freeman and Moss personally in a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) just days before the Capitol attack, mentioning Freeman 18 times and describing her at one point as a “professional vote scammer and hustler.” The Washington Post obtained a recording of the call and published it last year.

When is enough enough? Freeman and Moss have TFG and Rudy on tape purposely spreading lies and
disinformation about them which led to threats of violence and emotional trauma.
