The Nebraska Legal Action Fund on behalf of State Senator Megan Hunt, has filed litigation against a Nebraskan political action committee for defamation.
This suit was announced today by Former Nebraska State Senator Adam Morfeld, who is the chairman and founder of the Nebraska Legal Action Fund.
The statement reads:
“Today we filed litigation against the Nebraska Freedom Coalition along with Patrick Peterson, Robert Anthony and Malia Shirley for the defamation of Senator Megan Hunt.
The Coalition accused Megan of abusing and grooming her own child which resulted in death threats, a call to action to kidnap her child with their home address posted online, and hundreds of other tweets, phone calls, and emails accusing her of being a child abuser, pedophile, and groomer.
Maliciously accusing Nebraskans of grooming and abusing children with no factual basis only seeks to defame, harass and marginalize them.
The Nebraska Legal Action Fund will use all the legal tools at our disposal to protect Nebraskans and expose extremists, their tactics, their supporters, and misinformation. When a teacher, public official or member of the LGBTQ community is defamed or harassed by extremists we will take action.
Please join us in our fight against extremism and defamation.”

On behalf of Senator @NebraskaMegan we just filed litigation against the Nebraska Freedom Coalition for viciously defaming her by accusing her of grooming and abusing her own child.
These false claims led to calls to abduct her child and that she be publicly executed. pic.twitter.com/HWyp5BHJMl
