Internet fumes as Ruby Freeman recalls threats she received after Rudy Giuliani's election fraud claims

WASHINGTON, DC: Ruby Freeman, a Georgia volunteer poll worker, gave a compelling statement on Wednesday, December 13, recalling the two times she had called the police for assistance because she believed that someone in Donald Trump's 2020 campaign may have tried to kill her.

She said that her phone was "just ringing, ringing, ringing. Just ringing non-stop" on December 4, 2020, following Rudy Giuliani's public comments in which he falsely claimed that she had manipulated votes in the previous month's presidential election, as per CNN. 

Ruby Freeman received 'horrible racist threat calls' after Rudy Giuliani's accusations

Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, are suing Giuliani over remarks he made about them after the 2020 election that they claim are defamatory. The evidence was heard on Wednesday in the trial that will establish the amount of damages the former Trump lawyer has to pay.

Given the duo's demand for millions of dollars in damages and Giuliani's prominence—he is required by the judge to be in court every day—the case in Washington, DC, has the potential to become a landmark case in the field of defamation court cases.

While the former president is awaiting his own criminal prosecution in the same courtroom, the lawsuit has also brought attention back to the human cost of the misinformation that Trump and his allies allegedly disseminated during the 2020 election.

After the initial video of Giuliani spreading falsehoods about them was released, Freeman claimed, "I just started getting phone calls, text messages, emails, the phones just going crazy."

Her phone rang so often during her interview to file a police complaint that the police lieutenant had to answer it when she went to report some of the calls.

A transcript of one of Freeman's 911 calls was also shown to the jury on Wednesday in court. She stated that when she first heard the voicemails, she thought they were "horrible," "racist," and "scary."

As one of the voicemails was played, which included a woman's voice repeatedly using the [N-word], the courtroom remained motionless while Freeman dabbed at her eyes with a tissue. Giuliani looked on indifferently.
