Billionaire Bill Ackman spent days after the ABC presidential debate promoting false claims that a network “whistleblower” had allegedly uncovered collusion between ABC and Kamala Harris’ campaign. Now, a month and multiple denials later, he sees the claims differently.

“It seems pretty clear that the alleged @abc whistleblower debate story claiming that @KamalaHarris was given questions in advance and other advantages was a fake,” Ackman posted on X alongside a blog post by Megyn Kelly discussing the dubious claims.

What Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, did not acknowledge, however, is that he was one of falsehood’s early boosters.

So who is this dude, and what brings him here now?

5. if it seems odd that he would apologize out of nowhere about something everyone forgot about

it might be that something is about to come out about the "source" of that lie.

That "source" just came produced a new sex smear involving Tim Walz, and NewsGuard is looking deeper into these people...
