The shameful smear of Sydney Kamlager -Dove of journalist Matt Taibbi – Orange County Register

It is appropriate that on April 1, the national day of jokes, the Sydney Kamlager-Dove Congress decided to launch a wits battle with journalist Matt Taibbi.

She was so courageous to go without arms.

Kamlager-Dove is the best democrat of a chamber’s foreign subcommittee of foreign affairs which held an audience on the censorship of the government of freedom of expression protected by the Americans on social networks. Taibbi was one of the witnesses. Reading his opening declaration, Kamlager -Dove has coated Taibbi by repeating and introducing false and discredited news in the record that had affirmed – before the stories were corrected by publications – that Taibbi had been a “sexual harassment in series” years ago.

Congress members cannot be prosecuted for defamation for what they say on the floor of the room or in a courtroom. But Kamlager-Dove was so impatient to distribute her performance widely that she published the clip on her official account on X, formerly Twitter, and on Bluesky, a liberal refuge for leftists who do not bear to be an unwelcome discourse. She even added a sarcastic remark that he “said” that Taibbi did not “defend”.

Taibbi immediately brought a legal action of $ 10 million against Kamlager-Dove “for the defamation resulting from false declarations made during a convention audience in Washington, DC, which has become defamatory statements on the hour when they were republished by the defendant on April 1, 2025, and republished by the defendant on the Social Media Sites X and Bluesky, and on the official Congressal website on the same day. ”.

Matt Taibbi is an award-winning investigative journalist and author of four New York Times bestsellers who helped tear the coverage of the American government’s secret actions to force social media platforms to act as a speech police.

Kamlager-Dove is a life politician. She started by working for a non-profit organization led by Holly Mitchell, and when Mitchell was elected to the California Assembly in 2010 and later the State Senate, Kamlager-Dove was its district director. In 2015, Kamlager-Dove began its rapid rise on the political scale by winning a seat on the board of directors of the Community College. She quickly jumped into the Assembly in 2018, presenting herself and winning a special election when Sebastian Ridley-Thomas resigned.

She was again on the scale in 2021 when Mitchell resigned from the Senate because she had won a siege to the Council of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles. Kamlager-Dove ran and won the Senate headquarters during a special election but did not stay long. In 2022, she rushed into a race for the congress to fill the seat that Karen Bass had left to appear to the mayor of Los Angeles.

Kamlager-Dove’s career has been largely funded by special interests. For example, its State Senate campaign in 2021 was assisted by more than $ 200,000 with an independent expenditure committee sponsored by the California labor federation and AFL-CIO, and $ 335,000 from another IE committee supported by the health, insurance, energy and housing sectors.

It is almost as if the Californian democratic policy was made up of political machines that advance people whose main competence was to read what is brought before them.
