In 2021, Cory Tomczyk, who is now a Wisconsin State Senator, attended a public meeting which was discussing a resolution regarding diversity and inclusivity. During this meeting, Tomczyk used a homophobic slur against a 13-year-old boy. The Wausau Pilot & Review watched the video of the meeting and interviewed several people who witnessed the event, and then they committed the dastardly deed of reporting the news!
Oh, humanity!
Tomczyk decided to sue the paper for defamation because they accurately reported on his behaviors. He lost that case. So, in an effort to bankrupt the small paper, he appealed the ruling. Earlier this week, he lost again. Judging by the pity party he threw for himself, he didn't take it well:
In a statement this week, Tomcyk said he’s currently reviewing his legal options, adding that the Wausau Pilot had “smeared” his “reputation and name.”
The appeals court “punted” by concluding that Tomczyk counted as public figure in the context of the Community for All debate, the statement said.
