Jeffrey Catalan - Kavanaugh Accuser 5

I didn't know there was a fifth Brett Kavanaugh accuser until the claim had already been recanted.

From The Daily Caller:

A Rhode Island man who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting his friend apologized on Wednesday and said he “made a mistake.”

The man called Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s office and claimed that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, a high school friend of Kavanaugh, drunkenly sexually assaulted one of his friends, according to interview transcripts released by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

...The man’s name was redacted in the transcripts released to the public but the investigator quoted verbatim several outlandish anti-Trump tweets from the man’s Twitter account, allowing reporters to identify him on Twitter as “Jeffrey Catalan.”
"Jeffrey Catalan" took back his claim, and addressed the matter with this tweet:



This craziness is out of control, and the Democrats and their media partners are stoking it.

From The Daily Caller:

CNN and The Hill both spread a bombastic accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday, without mentioning that the man who made the accusation has since retracted the claim and apologized for making it.

...The Hill’s initial misleading story did not note that Catalan had apologized for his claim, despite being published more than 20 minutes after he retracted it.

After an inquiry from The Daily Caller News Foundation — which The Hill did not return by press time — the publication noted the Twitter account’s retraction.

The update was placed more than halfway down the piece, which still left out the accuser’s outlandish tweets.

CNN, which did not immediately return a request for comment, similarly left out crucial context in its initial report, which was titled, “Kavanaugh denies two additional accusations to Senate Judiciary Committee.”

CNN updated its misleading report late Wednesday night to note the accuser’s retraction, though it did not include his inflammatory tweets.
Fake news.

The Leftists continue to disgrace themselves.
