CNN's Daniel Dale debunks Dem super PAC's escort, abortion claims about Lauren Boebert

2022-06-28

[NYPOST] CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
fact checker Daniel Dale refuted uncorroborated claims circulating online that Rep. Lauren Boebert once worked as an escort, had two ~~child sacrifice~~ abortions, and advertised her services on a "sugar daddy" website.

The rumors were started online by American Muckrakers PAC, a Democratic Party

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
-aligned super PAC that was behind the unearthing of embarrassing and compromising videos of Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC).

Among the spurious claims that went viral about Boebert (R-Colo.) was that she was introduced to Sen. Ted Cruz;
...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet...
(R-Texas) after being hired as an escort by a member of the Koch family. Boebert, who has denied the claims, has threatened legal action against the super PAC.

Dale appeared on CNN on Monday and relayed to viewers that David Wheeler, the super PAC co-founder, "acknowledged to me that all five of these [claims] were indeed inaccurate, but that his group still stands by what he calls the main points of the allegations, all of which Boebert vehemently denies."

Dale’s on-air remarks were reported by the online news site Mediaite.

"But so far the PAC has not provided corroborating evidence to prove the so-called main points," said Dale.

#3 Sullivan and the copyright laws are "ripe" as attorneys say, for re-consideration.

#2 I agree. Sullivan was decided in a MUCH different America with a MUCH different media. It's time to revisit.

#1 ...This sort of thing is EXACTLY why Justice Thomas is encouraging a good, hard look at Sullivan. If Sullivan got shot down, American Muckrakers would be watching their little business go right into Rep. Boebert's pocket.
