CHILLICOTHE, OHIO—An Ohio activist is suing Oscar nominee James Woods for defamation over a tweet he sent out during the presidential campaign season. The Chillicothe Gazette reports Portia Boulger, a supporter of Bernie Sanders, filed a federal lawsuit this month. The Twitter account @voxday identified Boulger as a woman in a Donald Trump T-shirt appearing to give a Nazi salute during a March 2016 rally for Trump. Woods’ account tweeted the photo and information, asking, “So-called #Trump ‘Nazi’ is a #BernieSanders agitator/operative?”The same day, @voxday issued a correction, saying the woman wasn’t Boulger. Woods tweeted 10 days later that she wasn’t Boulger.
