Well knock me over with a feather, Charges of Mayor Pete Sexual Assault Were Fake News
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.”
To absolutely no one's surprise, the allegation that Mayor Pete Buttegieg, a Democratic presidential contender , raped a young man a few months ago were retracted after investigations into the matter by the media showed the whole thing was a dirty trick from Trump supporters. The alleged victim , one Hunter Kelly, had this to say
“It's important for everyone to know that I was not sexually assaulted and would never falsely accuse anyone,” he wrote . “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.”

The alleged mastermind of the hoax, Jacob Wohl, has attempted smears and dirty political tricks on Trump's behalf in the past.
A little early for the Trump scum to lay their cards on the table, but they must be real scared.
They held him prisoner until he would sign the document? Isn't that a criminal act? Why doesn't he have charges laid against those bastards? Just a law suit is lame.
Personally, of all the potential candidates, I would vote for Buttigieg if I were an American. I respect and admire people with his qualifications and accomplishments.
I think about the charge of kidnapping, but he is twenty one and it would probably take some lawyer to explore just how he was "detained."
He even signed "something" and then thought better of it and spoke up. (I'd bet his family/friends got into his head - after those two 'villains' did.)
Call it whatever you want, kidnapping, forcible detainment, whatever, but if it's true he was threatened that if he did not sign the document he would not be permitted to leave, I still think that threat is a criminal offence. If he is suing for damages, then I'm not quite sure his damages would be worth millions of dollars. The damages from this whole matter are really suffered by Buttigieg - his reputation has been unjustifiably smeared, and that would have a major effect on his chances of being a candidate.
Oh, the irony of trying to use a homosexual republican (a "fresh face" too) to bring down an "older" homosexual democrat. And the 'round' blew up in their chambers!
Not a word from our chief purveyor of fake news here on newstalkers
Lucky for him he's a Democrat. Otherwise the FBI would use the false accusations to start spying on the Buttegig campaign and the media would press for a special prosecutor to investigate him.
Actually, it looks like the 'lucky' one is Jacob Wohl. Wohl filed a false police report in Minnesota and submitted false evidence. It didn't make the evening news.
He should be in jail right now. IOKIYAR.
(Meant to answer Sean in previous comment)
Can you try to hold your side to the same standards you hold for everybody else? The entire fake narrative you are quoting is just that - fake. (Meuller told Barr his Barrspin was not correct, Barr decided to spin instead of tell the truth about what Mueller said, by the way) So we aren't buying more of those lies about spying on Trump and the reasons the FISA warrants were issued multiple times. It was about RUSSIA. Now we see Trumpers committing crimes to try to smear democrats and that is no problem for you. Again. Hold conservatives to standards or nobody cares about this whine. And I hope the perps get prosecuted. This wasn't even the first time they tried.
"Kelly resisted."
Kudos to young Hunter Kelly! A gay republican stood up for the truth and for the sake of his conscience.
Those evil bastards who attempted to put him up to this, should now be sued in court by Buttigieg and his husband. This could have spoiled or seriously damaged a marriage!
Those two, conservative activists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, should be removed from their positions; they are irresponsible. And nothing would prove this more than a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed—YESTERDAY!!!
While all politics have their seamy sides, this is a bit beyond the pale.
But then again in this day and age winning with honor seems to have become a joke.
What a shame that people who post fake news here (I mean, really, an article that was on InfoWars and WorldNetDaily?) don't post apologies when they're proven as the crap they are.
You don't really expect a retraction and an apology, do you?
I posted something similar in Sinners and Buttheads
