BREAKING NEWS! Remember when Kolton Krottinger was arrested for allegedly posting a political meme?
🚨 After his release, he decided to SUE those involved and today, I have an AMAZING update!
A federal judge just DENIED the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Even more importantly, the court refused to throw the case out based on qualified immunity at this stage.
That is a HUGE win.
I remember when I first started reporting on this case. A few corrupt people rushed to defend Hood County and the sheriff, insisting they had done everything right.
But this is exactly what I believed this case was about from the very beginning: political retaliation, unconstitutional targeting, government censorship, and the abuse of power.
This isn’t just a victory for Kolton. It’s a victory for FREE SPEECH and for holding Hood County accountable. The judge ruled that the lawsuit can move forward, meaning the defendants don’t get to escape this case at the outset by claiming qualified immunity. Now the case moves into discovery, where more evidence can be uncovered.
Kolton deserves this win after everything they put him through. He was arrested over an alleged political meme, had his phone seized, and now gets the opportunity to continue pursuing his constitutional claims in federal court.
And a huge shoutout to CJ Grisham, who has been an absolute freedom fighter throughout this fight. Americans need people willing to stand up when government officials allegedly overstep their constitutional authority.
This case isn’t over yet. But today is a major win for free speech, a major setback for qualified immunity in this case, and another step toward holding public officials accountable when they are accused of violating constitutional rights.
👇In this video, you see Kolton followed and boxed into his parking spot. Then immediately arrested for posting a MEME. This was the moment that Hood County Sheriff screwed up and now they are FINDING OUT!
