Far-right conspiracy theorist and Russiahipster coffee shop connoisseur Jacob Wohl has accused Elizabeth Warren of being a cougar, and she confirmed it in a tweet.
Sort of. (They were talking about different kinds of cougars.)
In his latest attempt to galvanize the public against the left, Wohl and conservative lobbyist Jack Burkman claimed Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren had a years-long consensual fling with a 24-year-old ex-Marine bodybuilder within the confines of an open marriage. But those claims are quickly starting to fall apart.
Warren didn't comment on the claims, but instead used the viral momentum as a launching pad to reaffirm her push for canceling student loan debt and tweeted an image of her alma mater's mascot.
"Go Cougars!" she said.

Wohl, who made a name for himself by tweeting that the young millennials occupying Los Angeles' "hipster coffee shops" were quietly supporting Trump's presidency, is a known grifter. His running list of failed smear campaigns include inaccurately accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller of sexual misconduct with a bizarrely traceable fake intelligence firm, getting kicked out of this year's Conservative Political Action Conference for trying to hold a press conference about a vile, spreading a racist rumor regarding Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and her brother, and promising to release the name of the whistleblower who exposed President Donald Trump's calls with the Ukrainian Prime Minister. Wohl has yet to successfully dox the whistleblower.
Wohl and Burkman, who was involved in the absurd Mueller claims last year, held a haphazard press conference outside Burkman's house that included a television screen displaying this incredible graphic.

I, for one, will never be able to stop thinking about the varying fonts in the poster that reads, "Elizabeth WARREN Cougar?"
Someone from Wohl and Burkman's team was tasked with passing out a stunning document in which a man named Kelvin Whelly said he met Warren through an escort site called Cowboys4Angels. The site is "for attractive young men who provide companionship escort services to well-heeled women," according to a document shared during the press conference. Sugar babying for the yeehaw agenda, if you will.
Cowboys4Angels isa real male escort agency, and was featured in a Showtime series called Gigolos. But the company's CEO and owner Garren James told Rolling Stonethat Whelly never worked for Cowboys4Angels, and that he wouldn't be hired anyway because he is "not up to caliber to work at our agency."
James added that while he has "many other high-profile clients" Warren has never hired an escort from his company.
Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer noted that the accuser, who was actually present at the press conference unlike past Wohl-backed accusers, couldn't stop cracking up while addressing the press. When he laughed giving his own statement, Wohl shot back, "What's funny?"
At one point during the conference, someone shouted, "Do you think this is going to hurt Elizabeth Warren's campaign? Because I think 'Elizabeth Warren fucks' fucking slaps."

American politics can be bleak, and Wohl's ridiculous press conferences just add to the muck.
