Clock Boy Father Sues Numerous Conservative Personalities for Slander

Naming not just Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne, Mohamed Mohamed singles out Glenn Beck, his media outlet The Blaze, Ben Shapiro, and Fox TV in the lawsuit, alleging that each of the above parties committed “slander” against him and his son in their coverage of the affair. After all, wouldn’t want anybody to find out about the “hoax bomb” his son brought to school:

“Mohamed Mohamed complains that The Blaze aired a show on September 22, 2015 that was hosted by Glenn Beck with guest VP Jim Hanson of the Center for Security Policy and Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne. As to this broadcast the petition recites:

During the discussion of the arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, Mr. Beck ‘proposed’ the following: ‘My theory is that for some reason Irving is important to the Islamists, not the Muslims, but the Islamists. It could be as simple as the progressives trying to turn Texas blue, and this is just the place where they’re just going to start planting the seeds and taking a stand. You (Mayor Van Duyne) pissed them off, and now this is a dog whistle. This is not a story that is for anybody to hear, except for the Islamists because once you create a boogeyman, now all the money, all the resources, all the intellectual power, all is focused on your little town of Irving, Texas.’ Mr. Beck contended that the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Mohamed could not be ‘explained’ any other way.

As to Mr. Hanson, the petition urges:

Mr. Hanson agreed with Mr. Beck’s contentions, stating ‘I think it’s happening. I don’t think there’s any question that this latest event was a PR stunt. It was a staged event where someone convinced this kid to bring a device that he didn’t build, as you mentioned. It’s a RadioShack clock that he put in a briefcase, and in a briefcase it looks like a bomb…..They did that to create the exact scenario that played out. They wanted people to react, and they wanted to portray this kid as an innocent victim. I think he was a pawn of potentially his father. His sister actually claimed that she was suspended. His sister told MSNBC that she was suspended by the same school district for making a bomb threat years ago. Don’t know if that’s true yet, but she said that in her own words. So, there’s a vendetta from them, and they’re tied, as you mentioned, with CAIR and CAIR is Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas tied. They’re basically involved in civilization jihad, so I think you’re right.’

Mohamed contends that Mayor Van Duyne ‘participated in this discussion and did not object to or correct any of the comments.’ The Blaze he adds, ‘failed to act with due care in the broadcasting of this false and malicious content.'”
