Davidson College Grad Apologizes for Presidential Fake News Fiasco
The only option in politics for this duplicitous fellow is as an operative, a plumber, a James O’Keefe; because he’s demonstrated that he is a mercenary in it only for the money, and there aren’t lines he won’t cross. He has a bright future with the GOP. Do I feel the least bit sorry for him losing his job and other future prospects? Not in the least, there should be dire consequences for willfully creating lies to profit from false political propaganda.
A recent Davidson College graduate at the center of a fake news storm involving the presidential election has been fired from his job as a Maryland legislative aide and apologized for his actions late Wednesday.
“I apologize to those disappointed by my actions, and my wish is that I will be allowed to contribute my informed experience to a larger dialogue about how Americans approach the media, tough issues, and the manner in which we, collectively, will inform our decisions going forward,” Cam Harris said on Twitter.
Maryland lawmaker David Vogt III, R-Frederick, told The Washington Post he terminated Harris “on the spot” after learning he was the mastermind behind the fake news.
“I was shocked to hear that he could do such a thing,” Vogt told the newspaper on Wednesday night. “He seemed like a bright young man that was interested in getting involved in politics.”
