After I wrote about her unwittingly linking to bizarre conspiracy websites on Facebook, Rep. Jenny Graham called me a "cocksucker," a "lying piece of shit," "disgusting," "hateful" "sleazy" and accused me of an " attack on human trafficking victims." https://www.inlander.com/spokane/after-an-inlander-article-about-her-links-to-conspiracy-theory-websites-rep-jenny-graham-responds-with-profanity-threats-and-another-conspi/Content?oid=20239155">https://www.inlander.com/spokane/a...
Check out my SoundCloud of Graham calling me a "lying piece of shit" and telling me "It& #39;s on. If you think for one minute you& #39;re going to pull this crap and you& #39;re going to walk away from it, you& #39;re nuts." https://soundcloud.com/daniel-walters-279099390/jenny-graham-accuses-inlander-reporter-of-being-a-lying-piece-of-shit">https://soundcloud.com/daniel-wa...
Obviously, I take being accused of being a liar -- or even getting something wrong -- very seriously. Which is why I tried to reach out to Graham by phone and text message, and asked her to have a conversation about her concerns.
She did not respond.
She did not respond.
In fact, even when asked by two others on her page -- both people I& #39;ve previously had tough interviews with -- what was false about the article, she refused to identify anything specific.
Instead, she challenged me to post the raw audio recording of my interview with her.
So here& #39;s all 78 minutes:

In one of her Facebook attacks on me, meanwhile, she linked to *another* conspiracy theory site, one brimming with posts about vaccines, QAnon, the Illuminati, 9/11, chemtrails, Wayfair furniture sales, COVID-19 and, yes, reptilian-human hybrids. https://twitter.com/danielwinlander/status/1299861409828757504">https://twitter.com/danielwin...
Graham both accused me of trying to "silence" and "intimidate" her, and also said she was seeking a lawyer to sue me/The Inlander for libel.
The original Graham piece was just intended to be a sidebar to this piece about 4th WA Legislative District Candidate Rob Chase, who much more knowingly promotes QAnon, even if he doesn& #39;t describe himself as an outright believer in the theory: https://www.inlander.com/spokane/matt-shea-endorsed-candidate-rob-chase-dabbles-in-qanon-9-11-and-other-wild-conspiracy-theories/Content?oid=20165927">https://www.inlander.com/spokane/m...
If you& #39;re wondering whether Graham called me a "cocksucker" (or, in daily newspaper speak, "a profane term often used by saloon owner Al Swearengen on the hit original HBO drama & #39;Deadwood& #39;") someone noticed that she quietly mutters that on the voicemail. https://soundcloud.com/daniel-walters-279099390/rep-jenny-graham-refers-to-inlander-reporter-as-a-c-cksucker">https://soundcloud.com/daniel-wa...
