The organization sent Swift's legal team a strongly worded letter denouncing her threat to sue a California blogger who, without any evidence, accused the singer of supporting the white supremacy movement. The ACLU made the letter public on Tuesday.
The spat began when Meghan Herning wrote a piece on the obscure culture blog PopFront that accuses Swift of supporting racist eugenics and compares the singer to Adolf Hitler. The Oct. 24 post — titled "Swiftly to the alt-right: Taylor subtly gets the lower case kkk in formation" — is fairly convoluted, replete with long diatribes about eugenics and the Trump administration.
