Conservatives are a cancer on humanity.
A Michigan college student whose name was used in an embarrassingly bad attempt to smear Pete Buttigieg says two far right conservative activists promised him a house in exchange for going along with accusations of rape against the Democratic presidential candidate.
In a Medium post published under the name Hunter Kelly, which has since been blocked by Medium, “Mayor Pete” was falsely accused of raping Kelly after supposedly meeting him in a Washington, D.C. hotel bar. The post says Kelly awoke in a hotel room after having been sexually assaulted.
Kelly, 19, now denies ever meeting Buttigieg, and denies even ever being in D.C. before this week.
So, it’s all false, of course, as The Daily Beast reports the two men behind the illegal scheme are notorious Republican con men.
It seems, according to The Daily Beast, that Kelly initially entertained the idea, and was flown out to D.C.
“For a week, Wohl had been attempting to find gay Republicans who would levy accusations against Buttigieg,” the story goes. “Kelly appears to be the only one who took the bait.”
Kelly expressed concerns, but later Burkman told him he was a “‘star’ and people are eating me up.”
Buttigieg accuser says conservatives promised him ‘any house I wanted’ if he falsely claimed mayor raped him
