RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina appeals court says President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign organization isn’t responsible for a state director accused of pointing a loaded pistol against another Trump supporter’s knee.
The state Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that former campaign worker Vincent Bordini can’t revive his lawsuit against the Trump For President organization.
Bordini last year dropped his lawsuit accusing former North Carolina campaign director Earl Phillip of assault with his .45-caliber handgun as the two rode in a vehicle. Phillip said it never happened.
Appeals judges ruled that the Trump campaign couldn’t be sued because Phillip was working in 2016 as an independent contractor with minimal direction from higher Trump campaign officials.
Judges said campaign managers hadn’t been told of earlier incidents of Phillip erratically waving his gun around people.
Success has a thousand fathers. Pyscho-boss assault with a deadly weapon is an orphan.
Also, I guess this shows the upside of not vetting your hires.
Slightly OT, but the twisted, deranged NRA and its cult followers love it when schools get shot up by NRA lovers, because only in a horrific, tragic incident like that is the true strength of the 2nd Amendment tested. When a gunman attacks a school, it’s proof that the NRA is winning the battle to keep guns free of control/regulation/registration. That’s how disgusting the ammo-sexuals are in their crazed lust for ubiquitous guns.
How cute. This appeals court seems to believe that if Spankys campaign had known this guy was a gun nut that had a history of threatening people with his handgun they would not of hired him. More likely had they known about his gun history they would have hired him for a more important position in the campaign and then made him a cabinet secretary.
Wonder how many campaign volunteers were needed to complete a full set of teeth…
It’s always fun to replace “gun” with “dick” in these stories. Probably wouldn’t even change the outcome.
