Cain chief of staff lies on national television
Mark Block: “At the press conference it was brought up that Karen Kraushaar had come out as one of the women, so we’ve come to find out that her son works at POLITICO, the organization that originally put this story out.”
Sean Hannity: “Have you confirmed that? I’ve been hearing that all day, rumors about that, you have confirmed that now right?”
Block: “We confirmed it with ahhh… that he does indeed work at Politico and that’s his mother, yes.”
This is simply 100% false. Block never names the reporter in question, but Josh Kraushaar used to work for Politico up until June 2010. I know Josh. I worked with him when I was at National Journal’s The Hotline. Josh is a personal friend of mine.
Josh does not work for Politico and Karen Kraushaar is not his mother. Josh has since returned to The Hotline where he now serves as executive editor. -Conn Carroll
