'Malicious': Pelosi pays thousands for 'harassing' man with text messages

The campaign apparatus for ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has paid an Illinois man $7,500 for a series of "invasive and harassing" text messages she sent him demanding campaign contributions.

A report from Breitbart explained that was the settlement after Jorge Rojas took her to federal court with his accusations of violating the 1991 Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

That law orders telemarketers not to contact U.S. residents listed on the Do Not Call Registry, which Rojas had joined in 2008 to get "solitude from invasive and harassing telemarketing calls," the report explained.

The man was contacted 21 times via text messaging by Pelosi and her campaign. Defendants in the case were Pelosi, her campaign, and the Democrats' fundraising machine called ActBlue.

The complaint stated, "As the Supreme Court has explained, Americans passionately disagree about many things. But they are largely united in their disdain for robocalls."

The defendants were accused in the case of a "malicious, intentional, willful, reckless, wanton and negligent disregard" for Rojas' rights.

Because of their barrage of messaging, he "experienced frustration, annoyance, irritation, and a sense that his privacy has been invaded," the report said, quoting from the complaint.

Will this precedent lead to more politicians being sued?

The case was dropped recently, and now campaign finance disclosures show Pelosi’s campaign paid Rojas $7,500 as part of a "settlement."

A commentary at the Gateway Pundit said, "This sets an interesting precedent. Can anyone sue politicians on this basis? If that’s the case, we’re going to see a lot more lawsuits like this one."

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.

Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.

Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
