Mitch Mcconnell just lied to America from the Senate Floor...Re: New York Times & Ramirez

McConnell said the New York Times refused to report on Ramirez (second Kavanaugh accuser)

Link to tweet

Dean Baquet is a hero of mine and I also respect you immensely, Erik—but it is not accurate to say the Times “declined” to publish Ramirez’s story. Their reporter pursued Ramirez aggressively. She declined to participate because she was talking exclusively to the New Yorker.

He went on and on about the NYT passing on the story because they could not substantiate anything and insinuated that the NYT thought she was lying.

What a disgusting man.
