Tim Pool is planning to take legal action against the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris. Her campaign account on X, Kamala HQ, posted an out-of-context clip and then claimed that Pool was calling for the death penalty against Democrats should Trump gain a second term in office.
“Trump operatives say their Project 2025 plan is to give Trump total, unchecked legal power so they can jail and execute those who don’t support Trump if he wins,” Kamala Harris’ campaign posted on X, noting by way of accusation that “They have since scrubbed this video from YouTube.”
In response to the post, Pool said “I have engaged legal counsel. We are preparing to take action. More to come.”
That “more” came on Tuesday when Pool addressed the post and the allegations on his morning broadcast. Not only is Pool not at all affiliated with the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 nor with the Trump campaign, he staunchly opposes the death penalty and has for the entirety of his career.
He walked through the defamatory comments from Harris’ post and debunked each one, including the inferred allegation that the video was “scrubbed” to hide the commentary. It was in fact removed by Pool precisely because he does not advocate for or condone advocacy for a death penalty.
“I feel that the lies from the Kamala campaign have become so shockingly, shockingly egregious, they strike at the conscience of any good, rational American,” Pool said as he detailed the reasons behind the forthcoming suit.
