'Rudy Giuliani was not the only one': Georgia poll worker vows more MAGA defamation suits
On the heels of her massive courtroom victory against Rudy Giuliani, Ruby Freeman said Friday she was not done seeking justice against those who defamed her work as a Georgia poll worker in 2020.
“Today is not the end of the of the road, we still have work to do,” Freeman told the horde of reporters who gathered to hear her statement.
“Rudy Giuliani was not the only one who spread lies about us. Others must be held accountable.”
Freeman issued her warning outside the Washington D.C. courtroom where a federal judge found Giuliani liable for about $148 million in damages to Lady Ruby, as she called herself, and her daughter Shaye Moss.
While Freeman detailed losses that included her home, her sense of safety, her neighbors and her own name, Giuliani muttered outside the courtroom that he “didn’t regret a damn thing.”
Freeman told those who knew her story not to waste time being angry.

“Pray for us as we continue to fight the good fight,” Freeman said. “I thank God that I'm not intimidated by no one or their lies.”
Freeman and Moss became the target of violent and bigoted threats after Giuliani accused the pair of passing around a USB drive packed with fake votes to pump into the 2020 presidential election.
Testimony in the House of Representatives later proved the item Giuliani blamed on the breakdown of the electoral system was a “ginger mint.”
The two women have already sued successfully the conservative cable channel OAN in an undisclosed settlement.
Giuliani’s poor financial situation makes it unclear what the outcome of the ruling will mean for Moss and Freeman’s bank accounts, but the mother and daughter said Friday the money was never the point.
“As we move forward and continue to seek justice, our greatest hope is that no one, no election worker or voter or school board member or anyone else, ever experiences anything like what we went through,” Moss said.
“We hope no one ever has to fight so hard just to get your name back.”
