Kamala's Fake Lover: Jacob Wohl Told Me It Was for a Spike TV Show

Last edited Fri Oct 11, 2019, 09:06 PM - Edit history (1)

ON UPDATE: The article also says that at first the actor was given the wrong script -- one making claims about Joe Biden. So maybe he's up next.

Inept conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman held another bizarre press conference in Burkman’s driveway on Wednesday, this time to smear Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) with obviously fake allegations of an extramarital affair.

And like past efforts to manufacture sexual claims against Trump foes—from Robert Mueller, to Pete Buttigieg, to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)—the Harris charade fell apart quickly.

The pair’s bogus accuser—26-year-old Sean Newaldass—told The Daily Beast on Friday that he had no idea the event in which he alleged that he was in a romantic dalliance with the Senate was real. That’s because Newaldass had met Wohl and Burkman by replying to an ad posted on Craigslist seeking a “male actor” for “performance art.” When he showed up at Burkman’s Virginia home and delivered his lines alleging an affair, Newaldass was under the belief that the press conference was actually an audition for a Spike TV show. He said he had no idea that Harris was a politician. Indeed, he assumed she was a fictional person.

“I thought I was acting for a role in a movie, like a role in a TV series,” Newaldass said. “I thought everything was staged, I’m thinking everyone is an actor.”

At this point, no credible news agency should pay his press conferences any attention.

We've seen that again and again with those making these claims for Wohl. With each stunt it gets less believable that they didn't know what they were doing and just use it as an excuse to avoid getting into legal trouble. I wish there would be legal consequences for making false claims, just to teach them a lesson.
