Far right activist sues Los Gatos council members, resident for defamation
Briefly

Hogan's complaint details her exclusion from Democracy Tent meetings due to alleged death threats, asserting this exclusion was a violation of her First Amendment rights and caused her significant emotional distress.
The lawsuit specifically points to an instance where councilman Moore allegedly shared misleading information about Hogan's past to mischaracterize her, framing his actions as defamation and an intentional act to vilify her.
Hogan asserts extreme emotional harm as a result of being defamed publicly, describing feelings of extreme shame, humiliation, and mortification due to the statements made by Moore, Ristow, and Fagot.
The legal action seeks over $35,000 in damages, highlighting the tensions within local politics around freedom of speech and community engagement, particularly in the context of controversial political views.
