Buckle up, MSM: Lawyer for defamed Citi Bike nurse teases scorched-earth approach to getting justice

For some ungodly reason, Ben Crump’s defamatory tweet about the pregnant nurse who tried to “STEAL a Citi Bike from a young Black man in NYC” is still up. As in he still hasn’t deleted it, even after being Community Notes’d to hell for completely misrepresenting what actually transpired, i.e. that the nurse had paid for the bike and it was the “young Black man” and his buddies who were the ones trying to steal the bike, harassing and verbally abusing the nurse in the process.

This is unacceptable! A white woman was caught on camera attempting to STEAL a Citi Bike from a young Black man in NYC. She grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat. This is EXACTLY the type of behavior that has endangered so many Black men in the past! pic.twitter.com/CLUMNzjSDY

And, as we told you, the mainstream media — full of journalists whose job it is to get all the facts before reporting — have followed Crump’s lead and fell all over themselves to join the pile-on. We reported specifically on NBC News’ journalistic malpractice, but they’re far from the only offenders.

And now, according to the nurse’s lawyer, the media are gonna pay for it — literally:

"She's been called a racist. She's been called a thief. There are reasons defamation laws exist, and we plan to pursue that."
