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.
