Wohl is a piece of work. He created a fictitious PI firm, and the number on the website goes directly to his mommy's voicemail. Lolz.

The press conference makes for a good laugh, as well. "Are you ready to go to jail, Jacob?"

Worth noting Wohl has banned by Twitter for harassing others. His father is also a Fox news pundit.

Why aren't Wohl and his co-conspirator facing criminal charges?

Aren't these the same bozos that tried the same thing with Mueller? Why were they not criminally charged at that time? Folks, these are crimes.

Hunter Kelly, a 21-year-old gay Trump supporter, said conservative activists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman sought to use him for the "despicable scheme" they concocted to blunt Buttigieg's momentum and help the president's reelection bid. The incident may offer a glimpse into disinformation tactics, powered by fake social media accounts and partisan news sites, that could become a staple of the 2020 campaign.

Wohl denied Kelly's accusation, saying the student had reached out to him. Burkman said on Twitter he believes Kelly's initial account of the assault was "accurate and true."

Story smells fishy. Kelly says he was recruited by Wohl and Wohl vehemently denies it. Someone is lying, so instead of the typical knee jerk liberal reaction, I’m going to be fair and let the truth of the facts play out. There are two sides to every story. If Wohl did do such a thing, he should be sued, if Kelly lied the same should happen to him.

It would been funny if a gay Jewish Anglican from a place named South Bend became next world leader!

Could become? Fake social media accounts and partisan news sites have been around for years. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/us/politics/fbi-russian-election-interference.html

What? ROFL Partisan extremists like leopards don't change spots. They just wait for Trump or his media spokespeople to tell them what to think.

One reason why I don’t vote Democrat.

They just wait for Trump or his media spokespeople to tell them what to think.

Funny, I hear the same talking points of the day where Liberals and the media shout the exact same garbage....coincidence?

Should be investigated, charged and prosecuted for spreading lies and malicious gossip. Or for making makes a false allegation.

Yeah, he is more along the Nate Silver sleaze line.

Once again the right show themselves to be pathetic, despicable, and of zero moral standing.

I think it’s despicable that all of these Democrats would sit down and have dinner with one of the most racist person in US politics.
