[K Gardner]

and Rappaport's widow. States, per Twitter, "Crazy day" and that he is "transcribing".

No clue as to what conclusion he has reached after doing post-smear interviews.

[dchill]

1. Hopefully, he's fixing himself up a feast...

Of hat and crow.

[K Gardner]

2. Or Humble Pie.. I hope if he retracts, Tweety

also has to apologize

[TwilightGardener]

3. Capehart, born in 1967, is not the final fucking arbiter and needs to

stop presenting himself that way. Fucking Clintonite tool.

[TTUBatfan2008]

4. Should have done that in the first place...

Lousy journalism.

7. beat me to it.

Peace.

5. I'm calling it right now.

He will just say there are conflicting memories and no way to know for sure. There will be no admission that he made a mistake.

[valerief]

6. Bingo! Although I do think he'll add something about "leaning" toward Rappaport and not Bernie.

Cuz, uh, Clinton.

[Punkingal]

16. Yep....he won't admit it's Bernie. That's why he put Sanders in quotes.

[TTUBatfan2008]

9. I would bet so...

That is how these things work.

[K Gardner]

10. I thought it funny he put Sanders name in quotes in his tweet n/t

[PufPuf23]

28. Unfortunately I think you are correct.

I do not intend to forget Capehart nor this episode.

8. Someone tweeted:

@CapehartJ aren't you supposed to do this BEFORE you publish the story?

In response to his:

11. The fate of the planet is in the balance.

12. lol. A peaceful place

or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid, we may lay our home to waste.
Thanks Warren.
Peace.

14. Something like that would get a lot of people fired.

Don't hold your breath.

24. The web of support(lies)

See this one:

I love the edit at the end.

[arcane1]

15. He sure seems to be taking his time "transcribing" n/t

[Fumesucker]

17. Aka: Cherrypicking

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

18. I was checking out his Shitter feed. The guy is obsessed about this photo

[Bluenorthwest]

23. he's obsessed with himself, he did not even bother to research the photo itself before doing his

road show about his own made up version of things. If the photo mattered to him he would have investigated the photo. He did not do so. He gave himself the gift of gab fodder.

[K Gardner]

29. He has been absolutely trolled on his Twitter feed.. still no retraction n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

20. The photographer has already confirmed that it is Sanders in the photo

Who gives a fuck about who Capehart interviews or, for that matter, anything further he has to say about the subject?

[Skwmom]

21. Capehart was on quite a while back nervous as heck b/c some Anti-Hillary stuff was

being talked about. He wants to keep his job.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. He should have called Danny Lyon before he ever opined on his photo. This is a bit late, Jon.

Who pays this guy to do research after he reports his made up stories and only when public outcry forces him to? Who is the schmuck who writes that check?

[Skwmom]

25. Capehart is full of it with this statement.

the least his campaign could do is remove that photo from its Tumblr feed and stop physically placing him where he existed only in spirit.

In the photo that he agrees is Bernie the caption discusses housing sit-ins. To say "where he existed only in spirit is b.s." Pathetic.

[grasswire]

26. someone on another thread said his husband works for Hillary.

Anyone know who that is?

[K Gardner]

30. Giuseppe Lignano - looking for more info..

will update
He's an architect, can't find anything about him working for Clinton

[Sekaer]

27. Case closed. Proof from the photographer

There is an article on Daily Kos with photographer Danny Lyon's response complete with contact sheets proving it is Sanders. Sorry that I couldn't copy the link, just google Daily Kos Sanders photo.
I am so angry--Lyon is one of the great photojournalists of the 20th century and is royally and rightfully pissed

[Oilwellian]

33. No, it's not quite over, yet

Capehart hasn't posted his retraction yet, which is the point of the OP.

Welcome to DU.
