A former Fox News guest and a pro-Trump blogger are apologizing to Seth Rich’s brother and parents for a series of lies.

“I don’t have any remorse at this point for the family. And let me tell you why: Because the family, the Seth Rich family has had every opportunity in the world to come forward. They are involved. They are 100% involved in this cover up. Joel and Mary Rich, Aaron Rich was involved in the leaks with Seth Rich…This is a massive cover-up of epic proportions. It’s on the level of a JFK cover-up. We know that Seth and Aaron did the leak.

There was no factual basis for any of these claims, Aaron stated in court. He had nothing to do with the DNC hack; never accepted money from WikiLeaks; and had no inkling whatsoever his younger brother, who was the best man in Aaron’s wedding, would be shot and killed.

Couch, a diehard Trump supporter, seemed to suggest in one of his livestream videos that his fixation on unproven theories about Seth and Aaron Rich were intended to undercut the reporting and intelligence assessments about Russia’s interference in U.S. elections, according to Aaron’s complaint.

Patbagley Good but Hannity who peddled the hoax for years should have been asked to apologize as well. seanhannity got off easy once more. These people and FoxNews are truly despicable.

What? Did they get sued like they should have been & lost?

EVERYTHING out of a trumper’s mouth are lies.

In layman's terms, 'We lied'

EarthOne_13 Good. The fucking asshole pricks.

Are they going on the air, going online, and taking out page ads telling their delusional followers that they have retracted?

Disgusting lies that they are finally apologizing for. So much damage already done.

Do you know if Cassandra Fairbanks was also sued for pushing this lie via Twitter and the outlets she may have been working for at the time (Sputnik and Gateway Pundit)?

Nice, but would be better if they published the retraction as many times as they published the lies.

Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted by father of Down syndrome child for using r-wordThe congresswoman had previously expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory but later disavowed it. Good. She deserves confrontation. Wow, same word used by a CCS school board member. Authoritarians and anti-democratic people like Greene are happy to disrespect and demean any identity group, especially those about whom they are completely ignorant. Seems the case here.
