A lot of people like to throw around the terms “misinformation” and “disinformation.” Ironically, a large portion of those same people engage in the very same practices. It looks as though, for some victims of mis or disinformation, they’re holding those that have besmirched their name to account.

In a cherry-picked clip from a June episode of podcaster and political commentator Tim Pool’s “Timcast IRL” show, Vice President and current Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ campaign posted said clip to X of Pool talking about holding Democrats accountable for alleged criminal actions done against their political rivals, the country and the people.

However, the Kamala HQ account framed Pool as a “Trump operative” just working on behalf of the infamous “Project 2025” that they claim is the basis for former President and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign and vision for the future, despite Trump’s claim that he’s never even read Project 2025.

In response to the post that has over 11.6 million views as of this writing, Pool reposted the video and claims that he has “engaged legal counsel” and is “preparing to take action.”

Pool went on to explain his possible defamation lawsuit against the Harris campaign on Tuesday evening’s episode of “Timcast IRL.”

“This is about Sean Davis of The Federalist, who said he wants to see lists of Democrats that will be arrested when Trump wins. The point I’m making, as you can hear but they’ve excluded in the context before this minute-long clip, is I said ‘make sure that there’s evidence, real evidence. The point was this; Sean Davis said he wanted to see lists of Democrats who Trump was going to arrest. Later on, we even had Steve Bannon say ‘there need to be arrests of 10 high-ranking Democrats who have committed crimes.' My point is this; if you are going to say that there are going to be arrests of Democrats you need to have real evidence and warrants and investigations and prove those crimes. That was the context of this.”

As a result, Pool says he’s in the process of filing suit against the Harris campaign.
