I'm Suing CNN.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin paffrak here i'm
pissed cnn is blatantly spreading
disinformation and lying to americans
about the recall election in california
it is a blunt
lie what they are doing they are lying
to people it is so wrong i'm so pissed
at cnn and therefore i've hired
attorneys to make sure we can fight cnn
and fight this kind of garbage this is
not even remote this isn't even like oh
i didn't like what they said or or some
baby crap this isn't weenie baby crap
this is serious i'm going to show you
serious proof that cnn is lying to
people and spreading disinformation this
is wrong this is different from even the
complaints i have against twitter
twitter even though i'm leading in polls
to replace governor gavin newsom twitter
won't verify me it's like all of the the
left-leaning organizations want to just
try to sandbag us even though i'm
technically part of their party i'm a
jfk style democrat right you all know
this i'm like in the middle i'm 51-49
but the fringes of the left oh my gosh
this is this is so wrong okay ready for
this watch first let me prove to you
that i'm not crazy 538 consolidated
these polls they didn't do the 538
didn't do these polls survey usa and the
san diego tribune they did a statewide
poll and they found that i was the
leading
challenger against newsome amongst all
of them look caitlyn jenner four percent
kylie three percent uh you know faulkner
five percent cox 10 percent elder 23
kevin paffraff 27
that's me okay this is the first poll
that we had in august this which is
after my court case where uh we we had
to rebrand and we couldn't use meet
kevin uh we wanted to have kevin meet
kevin paffrath on the ballot so we could
include my nickname because most people
know me as meet kevin
we weren't allowed to do that we fought
in court we got a judge basically who
pre-decided our case
you can actually see the entire case
there's a link to it on twitter if you
scroll down to the end of july you could
see the entire court case if you wanted
to but so we've had a lot of challenges
already we haven't let that stop us so
far
but anyway this poll has us leading a
second poll came out at a similar time
has us in this in second place one and
two with larry elder but beating all of
these other names look at this this
becomes important cox faulkner kylie
three percent i beat all three of these
people combined on wednesday wednesday
night uh i fly to sacramento to debate
cox faulkner and kylie i beat all of
them combined in both polls with a
margin look at this these three combined
is nine percent i beat them by four
percent over here ten five that's 15
plus 3 that's 18. i beat him by 9
combined i'm beating those other
competitors this becomes important those
are the two most recent polls
uh and there are two very appropriate
ones from august especially since now
we're branding as kevin paffreth take a
look at this what you need to know about
the california recall oh okay this is
interesting what do i need to know talk
about how the process works blah blah
blah who's running to replace governor
newsome
and so here we have talk about larry
elder john cox caitlyn jenner kevin
kiley uh faulkner i'm literally beating
these three people combined in the polls
and crushing caitlyn jenner as well
none all all the only mention about
democrats here is there are nine
democrats listed among the replacement
candidates but newsome in the california
democratic party are urging opponents of
the recall to vote no on the first
question and skip the second question
wait but where's the leading candidate
who's saying don't skip the second
question don't abdicate your american
duty and actually leave a ballot blank
that's stupid that's governor newsom
being a selfish
loser that's all it is it's newsom being
a selfish loser it is so stupid to leave
the second part of the ballot blank but
don't get me started on that okay that's
that's just the california democratic
party gambling with people's lives it's
so wrong it's messed up it's almost like
secretly they want a republican because
they know they would only have a
republican governor for a year they know
they would sandbag them or or or any or
her whatever whoever wins they would
sandbag them in the legislature because
we've got a 72 to 75 majority super
majority of democrats in the legislature
there's no way they're going to let a
republican governor get anything done
before the 2022 election which is just a
year away so maybe secretly they're like
sure let people have a taste of
republican again watch them get nothing
done and then we'll get a democrat back
in 2022. it's super shady super super
shady what the california democratic
party is doing but wait a minute where's
where's mention of the fact that there's
a leading candidate saying
vote yes on recall and don't leave the
second ballot blank that's this is like
just missing information right they just
totally ignore me in fact if you type
paf wrath nothing happens but this is
this is not why
i want to sue them this this is just
them purposefully ignoring me but hey
leaving somebody out is wrong but it's
not really like against the law right
take a look at this folks
posted last night
the key to california governor gavin
newsom's fate
full article here take a look at this
line folks take a look at this line
since there are or better yet since no
democrats are competing against their
own party's governor the state could end
up being run by a republican
a blatant lie
a blunt blatant disinformation
campaign to discredit all of the effort
we've put into this campaign all the
money we've spent on this campaign cnn
knows we exist the polls are blatant the
associated press covers us fox covers us
they know we exist shows from cnn have
reached out to consider setting up
interviews but then never followed
through on the interviews
so they know we exist they can't pretend
we do not exist but for some reason they
would prefer to spread disinformation
and lie this is a blatant lie and it's
wrong and hence i've instructed my
attorneys to file a cease and desist
letter so we could start the process of
suing cnn for the bullcrap
disinformation lies they spread it's
wrong it's blatantly wrong and it's
un-american and i can't stand by
passively allowing this kind of garbage
to happen this is this is a machine of
ugliness and nastiness it's cancerous no
wonder people hate politics it's so
disgusting we are the attorneys for
kevin paphrath also known as meet kevin
on youtube mr paparath is a leading poll
a whole leading democratic candidate to
replace governor gavin newsom in the
recall election occurring on september
14th the purpose of this letter is to
demand you cease and desist your
erroneous reporting which falsely states
that no democrats are conce competing
against their own party's governor they
should have like
a big apology blast because this is so
wrong your website at cnn contains the
false information your analysis even
links to a 21st cnn article saying there
are nine democrats listed as their
replacement candidates but mr
collinson's analysis seeks to memory
whole that truth basically make it as if
i just don't exist this is so scummy and
slimy and wrong the fact is kevin
paffreth is a moderate jfk style
democrat with emergency action plans to
finally do what the governor hasn't end
the water crisis prevent wildfires and
end the nightly horror of homeless
individuals dying in california's
streets mr pafrath intends to solve the
causes of homelessness disrepair in a
golden state we're ranked 40th in
schools that's the bottom 20 percent
california now has a mental health and
crime crisis and californians are
fleeing the state paffrath offers new
leadership at a time when it's needed
most and yet your website pushes
disinformation to california voters
looking for serious analysis of the
recall election your editors have
already been alerted to this truth gap
in your recall reporting because
i put them on blast last week about
their disinformation
and this could all rise to the level of
libel and defamation if it doesn't
already i think it already does but
anyway since your company a company was
on notice you knew or should have known
that mr collinson's analysis was false
but your company published it anyway
this demonstrates a reckless disregard
for the truth either a lack of fact
checking or printing a false story in
spite of knowing the facts
not a good look for cnn but worse is the
effect on the outcome of the election
paphrath is certainly a leading
prominent uh certainly a leading
candidate and so on and so forth folks
i'm pissed cnn is blatantly lying and i
am excited to take them to court
although
i'll also be up against
a lot of democratic judges
i just hope i can have some remaining
faith in this system because this is
messed up if you want to support me

fight

things about our campaign on twitter

a p stop the you can go stop
the bullshit.com as well but more
importantly go to meetkevin.com donate
and folks spread the word
cnn's not going to help us we got to
fight that fight

righteousness to government because
