The Lincoln Project, a prominent anti-Trump Republican group, is defending its right to erect billboards in Times Square critical of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, noting they are both public officials, after an attorney for President Trump's daughter and her husband threatened to sue.

“You boldly predict that the result of your lawsuit ‘will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages.’ Please peddle your scare tactics elsewhere. The Lincoln Project will not be intimidated by such empty bluster,” Matthew Sanderson, an attorney for The Lincoln Project, wrote in a letter to Marc Kasowitz, who represents Ivanka Trump and Kushner.
“Your clients are no longer mere Upper East Side socialites, able to sue at the slightest offense to their personal sensitivities,” he added. “Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump are public officials. They have been public officials since President Trump, in a gross act of nepotism, awarded Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump senior White House positions in 2017.”

These billboards must really frost Jikana's asses.
 
The Lincoln Project is a collection of butthurt Republicans who hate it that Trump won the 2016 election. They'd prefer that Republicans would keep losing with candidates like McCain and Romney.
 
The most protected speech of all is political speech.

A judge would toss the Trump lawsuit in a heartbeat.

Kind of sucks that the president of the United States would threaten someone's First Amendment rights.
 
Open criticism is one of the pitfalls of official nepotism.

Is anything they said on the billboards or in response to this lawsuit false? Are you denying that there's been 220,000 American deaths from covid or are you denying Ivanka and Jared got positions from Donald they were wildly unqualified for due to nepotism? Or are you really drinking the cult's kool-aid and deny both?

How did either of these things help Trump get elected in 2016?
 
Can't wait til the Lincoln Project endorses the first closeted gay presidential candidate for 2024. That'd be Lindsey Graham of course.
