Episode Description

He lost his primary election, and he's headed out the door, but State Senate President Stuart Adams isn't leaving quietly. Now, he's threatening to sue several of his critics for defamation. Lawyers for Stuart Adams sent "cease and desist" letters to four of his critics, asking them to correct the record or face a lawsuit. Adams claims that comments made after his primary election loss by State Auditor Tina Cannon, Gabi Finlayson of Elevate Strategies, and two hosts of a conservative podcast were false and defamatory. But those critics aren't backing down.
