ADL the Radical Leftie Cowards backdown after being threatened with massive Lawsuit from Chaya Raichik

 

After much pressure, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has finally removed Chaya Raichik and her Libs of TikTok account from its “Glossary of Extremism.”

In response, Raichik tweeted, “BREAKING: The ADL finally caved after immense pressure and threats of legal action and REMOVED my name from their Glossary of Extremism!”

She added, “Just goes to show that the ADL knows I’m not a violent extremist. The decision to put me on their ‘Glossary of Extremism’ was all political theater. They’re a propaganda tool of the radical Left and they went too far with this.”

The decision came after Raichik demanded that her name be deleted from the organization’s website, a demand she vocalized on Twitter. Raichik even threatened the organization with legal action if it didn’t remove her from the glossary by Tuesday.

In a March blogpost on the ADL site entitled “At CPAC 2023, Anti-Transgender Hate Took Center Stage”, the featured headline image was Ms. Raichik.

The article said, “They [Republican politicians] were joined by conspiracy theorists like Jack Posobiec, purveyors of COVID disinformation like Dr. Robert Malone and anti-LGBTQ+ extremists like Chaya Raichik.”

“The Advocate” quoted a spokesperson for the ADL, downplaying the decision. “While we maintain any potential litigation is meritless, we have temporarily removed the entry from our Glossary of Extremism while we continue to review the matter. Other material reflective of Libs of TikTok’s odious views about, and harmful impact to, the LGBTQ+ community remain on the ADL website.”

The Advocate also obtained a letter sent from the ADL’s chief legal officer, Steven Sheinberg, to Raichik via Twitter, part of which said:

“I understand that you have expressed concerns about your inclusion in the ADL Glossary of Extremism and have threatened legal action.

As a preliminary matter, we disagree with your assertions that ADL has done anything defamatory or otherwise harmful to you. Our reporting and opinions are constitutionally protected, reflect your status as a public figure and are accurate.

At the same time, we are not immune to criticism of our work, and take such feedback into consideration. Indeed, the Glossary of Extremism is an evolving resource and one we are presently reviewing in terms of brand, substance, and function including examining the mechanics of how materials are recommended to users. As a result, we will temporarily remove Libs of TikTok from the Glossary.

This is not an endorsement of your body of writing and other material reflective of your odious views about, and harmful impact to, the LGBTQ+ community remain on the ADL website.”

It is sadly ironic that an organization which claims its sole mission is to fight defamation, actually was guilty of defaming Raichik, because she defended innocent children from woke, immoral indoctrination. Even more sad, Raichik is an orthodox Jew, and the ADL purports to protect Jews from this sort of targeting.

Before she was removed from the glossary, Raichik was described as “a popular anti-LGBTQ+ twitter account operated by former real estate agent Chaya Raichik. The account, which has over 1.3 million followers as of August 2022, attempts to generate outrage and stoke anti-LGBTQ+ hostility by reposting selected out-of-context social media content created by LGBTQ+ people and liberals. The individuals, events and organizations targeted by the account are frequent targets of harassment, threats and violence,” according to an archived version of the ADL’s “Glossary of Extremism.”
