Deep dives
No Labels Claims Violation of Federal Rico Statute
No Labels, a political organization aiming to put up a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election, alleges that their political opponents violated the federal Rico statute. They accuse their opponents of engaging in acts such as threatening potential supporters, blacklisting individuals associated with the No Labels effort, and planning to release damaging information on potential candidates. However, legal experts dismiss these claims as baseless and assert that they are protected political activities covered by the First Amendment. The attempts to invoke the federal Rico statute in this context lack credibility and are seen as an attempt to deter opposition to the No Labels campaign.
