Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has threatened to sue a publication after it revealed details of his tax returns, which he had sent to them by mistake.
According to Lagniappe Daily, which broke the original story, “In a cease-and-desist letter emailed Saturday afternoon, the former Auburn coach’s attorneys demanded the article be removed, accused Lagniappe of ‘unlawfully accessing’ the information.” The letter further “claimed it was illegally published without Tuberville’s consent, and … it was not protected speech under the First Amendment.”
Nah, fuck that. If you are stupid enough to send sensitive information to the literal body who’s job it is to post information, then this is how it works.
If it were AOC, I would absolutely believe they should be posted. I think it should be required that every individual that holds an elected position in government should be required to share this information publicly. I extra agree with it for people that are the shittiest.
Tuberville is a cunt, and he should have not been an idiot. Cease and desist means fuck all when someone voluntarily hands over information.
