I WAS NOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
It's important for everyone to know that I was not sexually assaulted and would never falsely accuse anyone.
To keep it brief for now- I was approached by a political figure to come to DC to discuss political situations from the standpoint of a gay Republican. When I arrived they discussed Peter Buttigieg and started talking about how they would be working a campaign against him.
I went to bed and woke up to a fake Twitter @RealHunterKelly and an article that I in no way endorsed or wrote.
I have since left and am working on a formal statement to give to everyone including the Buttigieg family.
Thank you for standing behind me and knowing that I would never accept or allow any of this.

(8,196 posts)Unfortunately, all of our candidates will probably experience this kind of false smear. We need to learn how to recognize and defuse it quickly.
It looks like we're getting better at it. I don't think many people are buying this one.
One thing puzzles me--why would they have used someone's real name who would almost definitely refute it? Are they hoping to plant doubt in just enough peoples' minds?

(37,648 posts)If you were sexually abused by any of these candidates and haven't spoken up by now, too late! This is getting ridiculous. And the plots are being hatched to sabotage the various candidates.
I think we all need to stick together, no matter who the target is at the moment, against attacks like this.

I'm sure those tweets have been deleted by now.
Since Jim Hoft has long held the title of dumbest man on the internet, then Jacob Wohl has to settle for being dumbest boy on the internet.
