| | + | On December 2, 2021, two Fulton County Georgia elections workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, filed a lawsuit against The Gateway Pundit and owner Jim Hoft. The lawsuit accused Hoft of knowingly publishing and spreading false stories saying they engaged in ballot fraud during the 2020 general election. In the lawsuit, Ruby and Moss claim Hoft perpetuated a debunked narrative, then published the stories and promoted them even after he was aware the stories had been disproven. |
