A single question mark saved one conservative celebrity from paying $3 million in defamation charges.
James Woods was sued in March 2017 by Portia Boulger for misidentifying her as a Nazi on Twitter, according to Hollywood Reporter.
A viral photo of a woman at a Chicago rally for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016 giving a “Heil Hitler” salute was posted by one Twitter user next to a picture that had run in the Chicago Tribune of Boulger, a reported Bernie Sanders organizer.
Woods reposted the pictures on Twitter with the caption, “So called #Trump ‘Nazi’ is a #BernieSanders agitator/operative?”
The Tweet has since been deleted, but the two women in the pictures were not the same.
Boulger then sued the actor for defamation and sought $3 million in damages.
Woods’ defense was that he was just asking a question that invited his followers to make their own conclusions, and he wasn’t stating a fact.
The question mark in Woods’ tweet saved him from the charges, U.S. District Court Judge Geoge Smith wrote in the ruling, according to Hollywood Reporter. – READ MORE

Woods found one picture in particular and decided to make it the face of the kind of liberal that would have been in charge of America had Hillary Clinton won:

Yikes. That looks like a Ralph Steadman illustration from a hypothetical “Fear and Loathing at the 2018’s Women’s March.” Except it’s real. Ironically, Hillary never considered whether this is really “What Happened.” – READ MORE

Almost FOUR MILLION illegal aliens will be in a position to tip the scales of any election. Democrats will destroy our fundamental democratic process gladly. If you allow this, Mr. President, history will remember it as your personal failure. #DumpDACA https://t.co/kK8YJM4xKV

This DACA scam works just like the death penalty “reforms” promulgated by Democrats. First they argue against death penalty by howling for “life sentences without parole.” Once they get that, they immediately start parole appeals. #DumpDACA

Mr. President, you made one promise. You said the illegal immigration nightmare of lawbreakers taking American jobs was over. Now man up and keep your promise. #Obama pulled this scam with the stroke of a pen and you can end it the same way. #DumpDACA

Woods’ comments come as the Democrats voted against a continuing resolution proposed by the Republicans on Friday which has led to a shut down of non-essential government services. Democrats are demanding protections for 800,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, which is allegedly driven by the desire to control their votes in future elections, according to a leaked Democratic memo written by former Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri.- READ MORE
