At what point is the libel? Could every Haitian living in the US join a class action to sue vance?

At no point would anything Vance says be considered libel.

Slander however...

I've never heard of a class action libel suit before, I don't think it's a thing. Seems like libel is saying specific damaging things about a specific individual. But IANAL, I just watch a lot of Legal Eagle.

It's a brave new world out there. Let's go for it and see what happens.

Ah, the right wing strategy for the last 7 decades. It's actually worked really well for them, they just sue for everything and let the courts decide.

The Haitian community in the Ohio River Valley should absolutely file various lawsuits tying Couchfucker up in court for the next 5 years, it's the American Way.

Libel is specifically for written defamation. It would be slander for anything spoken. Although, these dipshits have probably tweeted (or xhitted?) about this as well.
