Not my area, but...yes?

I read earlier about that c_nt Pelosi calling Bannon a white supremacist a couple of times during a press conference.
I don't know what the other PT shysters have said but here's my quick take:
He is a public figure. He would have to prove actual malice. Pelosi's defense is that she was merely expressing an opinion on a matter of public interest, and "white supremacist" is a mere pejorative or vulgar abuse, like calling him an a-hole, which is also a defense.
In Texas, calling someone an illiterate, backrupt, homosexual, communist [together or separately] is considered per-se defamation if the statement is false. In other words, you don't have to prove that those statements are defamatory. Those words are defamatory as a matter of law (not fact).
With the truth on my side, I routinely call them commies.
fricking commies!!!

i don't know if it's been said, but in addition to being a public figure, that's likely going to be defended as political speech, which is our most protected form of speech.
