Two Georgia election workers are suing The Gateway Pundit, a far-right website that published untrue information about them in an effort to put doubt on the integrity of the vote, according to NBC News.

Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss say in the lawsuit that Jim and Joe Hoft, who write for The Gateway Pundit, produced a “campaign of lies” which “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.” 

Freeman and Moss have been targeted in a number of conspiracy theories that have been promoted by conservatives in the months after the 2020 election, according to NBC News. Companies that make voting machines have also filed lawsuits aimed at media companies that are responsible for spreading false claims about their part in the election.

Articles from The Gateway Pundit that stated Freeman’s name led to a number of accusations which included former President Donald Trump and other conservative media outlets, according to NBC News. 

What made things worse for Freeman was that strangers twice tried to make a citizen’s arrest at her home and she had to close her business and leave her home for two months, as advised by the FBI.

“People have said the most vile and violent and racist things about me and my family—on the phone, on my social media accounts, on email, and in person. Things you wouldn’t believe,” Freeman said in a statement on NBC News. “The toll of all this on your life, day in and day out, it wears on you.”
