"The Associated Press is admitting that they were lied to by a white nationalist who claimed his group was connected to the school shooter in Parkland, Florida."
"Jordan Jereb, a member of white nationalist group “Republic of Florida,” claimed on Wednesday that Nikolas Cruz, the shooter that killed 17 people at a Parkland high school, was a member of his group and participated in paramilitary drills with them. The Associated Press ran with Jereb’s claims, leading a number of outlets to publish blurbs of their report."
"However, Jereb later backtracked on his claims and said he was “confused” because there are multiple men named Nicholas in the group and accused the media of “misrepresent[ing]” what he said."

He hears the same voices, too.
Like the Charlottesville incident, an ANTIFist was mowed down by a Dodge Challenger instead of an AK47, the Vegas shooter, like other psychos before him was a registered DEMOCRAT. And now once again another tragedy that didn’t quite give the left the desired results they were looking for. Oh, well, better luck next time /extreme sarc
I’m guessing this “white nationalist” is an FBI embed anyway.
No duping going on at the AP either.
There used to be a time when newspaper editors worried about verifying sources. Now they make them up and wonder why President Trump calls them fake news! Congress should make a law that forbid media from reporting anything without a certified source. Huge fines should be assessed.
He does have a it of that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome look.
The Ass Press is duped by a whole lot of nothing these days.

AP did not bother to check the story out before they ran with it? And, now they say they were duped?
Sorry their reputation is already ruined.
Hello AP from Russia
This is Vladimir Smirnov
I have the naked pictures of the Mr. Trump
Exactly. And the trolls at 4chan knew it.
Yep. Which is why I only use Liberty Daily now. Except for their links to The Blaze.
Admitting dupedom does not exonerate them from their probable disinterest of the real facts of the tragedy. They knew very well what they were doing.
The Daily Beast is still running with this on their front page. They were tweeting all over the place about this claim and arguing when people posted evidence to the contrary.

They have a long history of being duped.
That WN clown has a Gab account and yes clown with gun is apt
I stopped visiting Drudge’s page when that false flag called Charlottesville happened.
Drudge had a headline, “Make America Hate Again.”
It was the last time I ever logged onto his web site.
I'm surprised they owned up to their mistake.
The important thing, to the Fake News Media, is blaming Whites.
Nikolas de Jesus Cruz .... White Nationalist. That not an impossible formulation, but it should make a reporter or an editor or a “source” at the SPLC or ADL think about it for a couple of minutes. I guess they assumed that the “k” in Nikolas meant he was a Russian spy.
