Marino plans to file defamation lawsuits against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-big-tech-and-media-actions-to-steal-the-election-heres-whats-going-on-in-pennsylvania-and-michigan\/\" title=\"Democrat, Big Tech and Media Actions to Steal the Election \u2013 Here\u2019s What\u2019s Going on in Pennsylvania and Michigan\">media outlets<\/a> and others who have labeled Comrie a racist and a thief.<\/p>\n<p>Since the video went viral, Comrie has been placed on leave from Bellevue Hospital, where she worked. Marino has shown media outlets timestamped Citi Bike receipts that represent the contested bike and another bike Comrie rented to get home. Despite this evidence, many on social media and some media outlets quickly ran with the framing that Comrie had tried to steal the bike from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-liberal-lies-jon-ossoff-lies-about-kelly-loeffler-after-she-is-pictured-in-photo-with-some-guy-she-doesnt-know-who-was-once-a-klansman\/\" title=\"MORE LIBERAL LIES: Jon Ossoff Lies About Kelly Loeffler After She Is Pictured in Photo with Some Guy She Doesn\u2019t Know Who Was Once a Klansman\">black man<\/a>, labeling her a \u201cKaren.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Unfair Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-clinesmith-altered-an-email-in-the-trump-russia-probe-to-keep-it-going-he-just-received-probation\/\" title=\"Kevin Clinesmith Altered An Email In The Trump-Russia Probe To Keep It Going.
