Conservative Influencer “Catturd” Threatens To Sue Republican Congressman For Defamation

The conservative Twitter (X) account called “Catturd” is threatening to sue Republican Representative Thomas Massie for defamation after Massie complained about him and another Twitter “influencer” being paid for their garbage opinions. The turd-brained account then threatened to sue Massie, arguing that he’s never been paid for his opinion and said it would be a “slam dunk defamation lawsuit.” This might be the dumbest thing we’ve seen in American politics in a long time, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

In my 20 plus years working here at Ring of Fire, both as an on air presenter, and of course in the early years behind the scenes as a producer and a fact checker and a researcher, I can tell you with confidence that I have had to cover a lot of really, really dumb stories. And the story I'm about to cover right now in my opinion is by far the dumbest story I have ever talked about. In fact, it's so dumb that I probably shouldn't be talking about it, but I am gonna do it because of how dumb it is. And I'm about to say a sentence to kick off this story that, um, ne never thought this string of words would come out of my mouth, but here it is. Conservative Twitter influencer cat turd is threatening to sue a Republican congressman for defamation.

Again, probably the dumbest sentence I've ever had to utter in my life. And look, I've said some dumb things, not on the air, but you know, just in life I've said stupid things. My wife will tell you that I have never said anything as dumb as conservative Twitter. Influencer cat turd is threatening to sue a Republican congressman for defamation. But here's what's happening. As we all know, there is this major conservative influencer on Twitter, or ex, if you want to call it that, uh, named Cat turd, right? It, it's basically an anonymous account because the person's name is not posted on the account, but they are verified because they subscribe to Twitter Blue, which means they're also eligible for monetization, which is important to the story. So Kat Turd recently found himself targeted by Republican representative Thomas Massey. When Massey posted on social media quote, who are the most NAR paid influencers on this platform?

Does anyone else compete with Kat Poop and DC drainage for this title? That was it. But he did it from his official congressional Twitter account, and he didn't even use the anonymous account's. Real name called him cat poop instead of Cat turd. The other guy he called DC drainage instead of DC drain. Oh, but this apparently is off cat turd. And every time I say that name, I die a little bit more inside. Everybody just want you to know that. But anyway, so Kat Turd gets on Twitter this week and says this, remember when Trump hating Thomas Massey on his official Congress account, unprovoked attacked me a few days ago claiming I was a paid grifter who was paid for my political opinions? I do. So him and his team of cringe butt hurt, Deim losers

Did every kind of research trying to prove I was wrong. They couldn't because they're liars. I've never taken a dime. So what did Tommy do? The most honorable guy according to himself in history, did he say, my team has looked into this and Cat turned his right. He's never taken a dime from anyone. Nope. This is a slam dunk defamation lawsuit. Stay tuned. You're an idiot. Like I, I really want to use so much worse language right now, but I'm, I'm not, and I'm trying not to, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like as dumb as this story was, it just keeps getting dumber. How in the hell is that a slam dunk defamation lawsuit? Technically, he didn't even refer to you by your correct Twitter handle, which of course is not your real name. And unless people go searching for it because your name is available out there, I'm not gonna give it. I don't give a. But that's not defamation. That doesn't even come close to rising to the level of defamation because again, you haven't proven that you haven't been paid. You see, that's what's fun about defamation and that's what all these dumb conservatives do not understand. If you sue somebody for defamation you the sewer, the plaintiff, you have to prove that they lied.
