Moms for Liberty Leader Allegedly Hijacked Dead Woman's Facebook Page to Harass Foes

Pennsylvania mom Libby Leonard had been dead for a year and a half when her Facebook page began attacking another mother.

“EVERYONE...Say Hi to a real DUMB worst word you can call a woman (because she earned it),” the March 14 post begins. “Can’t wait for her to meet her KARMA...It’s already beginning, but until then I think a taste of her own medicine is amusing. However, I will be sharing legally and EVERYWHERE.”

Of course Libby didn’t write this. She was stabbed to death by her children’s babysitter in 2021. Instead, the post appears to have been authored by Nicole Prussman, a local leader of the right-wing group “Moms for Liberty” who had inserted herself in Libby’s life and marriage before her tragic demise.

The rant’s target was a New York mother who opposed Moms for Liberty’s efforts to intimidate teachers and remove certain books from classrooms. Now that mother has filed a complaint with police, who issued a harassment citation for Prussman, a 42-year-old mom and self-styled “educational consultant” who has yet to enter a plea in the case. (On Wednesday, a summary trial was scheduled for May 4 and the name of Prussman’s attorney was entered into the record. He could not be reached by press time.)

The founder of Mom's for Liberty was recently appointed to the board of directors that Ron DeSantis appointed to take over Disney's Reedy Creek. She flipped out when they discovered that thier powers had been transferred to Disney by the prior board. She is a very frightening person and we cannot just ignore this group as they are infiltrating school boards across the United States.
