This just shows how disgusting and twisted the left is.
Now, I can say that I have NEVER been a HUGE Sarah Palin political fan, but that doesn’t mean that I do not want her to be maligned by the left at all.
Sarah has done amazing things in the past and especially I respect her pro-life views 100%.
I also know that Palin would not incite any violence against a political opponent.
Seriously, that is way out of character for her.

So, when the New York Times falsely implicated Palin’s political action committee (PAC) for “political incitement” in the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, you know this was on like Donkey Kong.
Here is a little background on this entire sham of a case.
In June 2017, the same day that a leftist shot Rep. Steve Scalise during a congressional baseball practice, the Times ran an op-ed headlined “America’s Lethal Politics.”
The piece falsely claimed that Palin’s PAC had shared a map with 20 Democratic lawmakers, including Giffords, in “stylized crosshairs” prior to her shooting. They claimed that “the link to political incitement was clear.”
Palin says that former editorial page editor James Bennet defamed her by publishing the claim.
So, Palin took it to court and seemed to be doing rather well, and the case was in deliberations with the jury.
However, Palin was not able to hear what a jury of her peers thought of the case at all.
Why?
U.S. District Court Judge Jed Rakoff, a Clinton appointee tossed out the case and said Palin’s lawyers did not present sufficient evidence against the New York Times.

UNREAL!
Politico reported:
A judge has ruled that a libel lawsuit former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin filed against the New York Times over a 2017 editorial should be thrown out because her lawyers failed to produce evidence that the newspaper knew what it wrote about her was false or acted recklessly towards indications it was false.
The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Jed Rakoff came as a Manhattan jury was deliberating on Palin’s suit, which claimed the Times defamed her by unfairly linking her to a 2011 shooting spree in Arizona that killed six people and gravely wounded then-Rep. Gabby Giffords.
Rakoff said he would continue to allow the jury to deliberate to a verdict and added that he considers an appeal in the case to be inevitable.
This is disgusting and it should not have happened.

The case was in the hands of the jury and they should have been able to render their verdict at that time.
This is just another way to slap anyone who has conservative leanings down and tell them to be quiet.
What do you all think about this?
