A former congressional candidate in Georgia filed suit on Thursday against Fox News and host Brian Kilmeade, claiming they conspired to help one of his political opponents win the Republican primary for Georgia's 2nd congressional district. West also requested equal airtime from Fox News but was denied, the lawsuit states. State of play: Johnson finished third in the southwest Georgia district's May primary, behind Hunt and Chris West. "This lawsuit will be dismissed as quickly as Wayne Johnson was dismissed by voters of the 2nd district." "Chris West is actively participating in and perpetuating in this frivolous lawsuit," Hunt added.
