Should have had him swear an affidavit right at the outset. Then he either stands by it or is charged. Now it’s just a joke
Perhaps Johnson did pay him for the interview (no wrongdoing by McDaniel), then the pastor decided there was more money to make by doubling back and damaging McDaniel by making this allegation.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Cockran’s campaign decided to turn a negative into a positive for them by paying off the guy to double back and accuse the McDaniel campaign of laying him to lie.
Nothing is too low for a GOPe/ rat.
