Rush Limbaugh Threatens to Sue DCCC

The DCCC stated in a September fundraising letter that “Rush Limbaugh is advocating for the tolerance of rape.”

Mr. Limbaugh’s legal team has notified the DCCC that they intend to sue them for defamation.

Limbaugh retained the services of lawyer Patty Glaser and demanded that the DCCC “preserve all records in anticipation of a lawsuit for defamation and interference” after the Democratic Party group led a campaign against Limbaugh based on out-of-context statements the host made about sexual assault. Limbaugh’s legal team delivered a letter to DCCC representatives Monday informing them of the legal threat. Limbaugh has also demanded a public retraction and apology.

The Limbaugh team is currently proceeding from the standpoint of litigating and has not yet made a decision as to whether the DCCC could make any concessions at this point to prevent the lawsuit.

Has the DCCC bitten off more than it can chew?
