O’Born says the paraphrased statement is incorrect.
“I’ve contacted the Ricochet and have asked for a correction,” O’Born said in an email to The Gargoyle.
“I would never say anything about highlighting the family status of any other candidate because it isn’t relevant. Such a view would be reprehensible and has no place in any campaign.
Ricochet is a gossip rag.
I am not acquainted with this paper. But to be fair you should have included the fact that not only the reporter claimed that this was the stance of the Freeland campaign as reported to him but the editor also called the campaign to get confirmation and he is also claiming he received confirmation and they are sticking by their story. I don't know who is telling the truth, the campaign manager or the two journalists. Usually two carries more weight than one.
