On Friday morning, former Republican nominee for Illinois Attorney General Thomas DeVore filed a lawsuit against Illinois House Republican Minority Leader Tony McCombie for violating his First Amendment rights after he made “critical comments” of the GOP leader’s vote to support expanding transgender patient rights.
The suit, which was filed in the Third Judicial Circuit, and shared exclusively with Illinois Review, states that McCombie blocked the former attorney general nominee from viewing her official Facebook page, which is a public forum and “deleted, or otherwise suppressed” his comments.
The suit mentions that other Illinois citizens have been blocked from her official page – and their critical comments have been deleted as well.
