Some of MSNBC’s top hosts may have to appear in court to testify about their alleged role in defaming a Georgia-based OB-GYN physician.
The lawsuit claims that hosts Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes made “verifiably false” claims saying that a Georgia doctor performed hysterectomies that were not necessary at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement center during the first Trump administration, Fox News reported.
Obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin was accused by a whistleblower nurse at the Irwin County Detention Center, where he provided medical care, of performing unneeded surgeries.
NBC News published the report even though its standards department had reservations about the veracity of the claims. Nevertheless, far-left MSNBC covered it heavily with a series of reports calling the doctor the “uterus collector” on September 15, 2020.
