Colorado Springs man sues Rep. Elisabeth Epps, attorney general for blocking him on X

Colorado Politics: A Colorado Springs man is suing Rep. Elisabeth Epps, D-Denver, for blocking him on X (formerly Twitter), an act he alleges violates his First Amendment rights. 

According to the lawsuit, which names Epps in both her official capacity as a legislator and her personal capacity as a Colorado resident and Colorado Attorney Philip Weiser in his personal capacity, Epps blocked Michael Freeman from her @elisabethepps X account following an exchange about a bill she was sponsoring during the 2024 legislative session. 

Freeman, who describes himself as “politically independent and a staunch advocate for constitutional rights and rational legislation,” goes by the handle @TheAntiGrifter and frequently posts and retweets right-leaning content.
