In an attempt to set a narrative that young people simply aren’t interested in John McCain, CNN quoted one Mr. Eric Pearlmutter, a supposed College Republican at USC. Mr. Pearlmutter was quoted as saying:
“We try to get people out to our College Republican meetings, but we can’t seem to get the same amount of support.”
Only problem is, USC College Republican President Ben Myers has never heard of Mr. Pearlmutter and says he isn’t on the roster.
“I have never met Eric Pearlmutter. I have never seen him at a College Republican meeting. He is not on our membership roster. I don’t know why someone would think he speaks for us. As far as I know, he could be a Democrat.”
Thank God for all of those layers of fact checkers at CNN!
