At what point is the libel? Could every Haitian living in the US join a class action to sue vance?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

At no point would anything Vance says be considered libel.

Slander however...

I've never heard of a class action libel suit before, I don't think it's a thing. Seems like libel is saying specific damaging things about a specific individual. But IANAL, I just watch a lot of Legal Eagle.

Libel is specifically for written defamation. It would be slander for anything spoken. Although, these dipshits have probably tweeted (or xhitted?) about this as well.
