Free Beacon Forces Correction From New Yorker's 'Vaunted Fact-Checking Department' on Graham Platner’s Mortgage
Left-wing Maine Senate candidate received a loan from his father, not a 'Department of Veterans Affairs low-interest mortgage,' as the New Yorker reported
The New Yorker on Friday corrected a report on Maine’s left-wing Senate candidate, Graham Platner, that falsely stated he purchased his home in Maine with "the aid of a Department of Veterans Affairs low-interest mortgage." In fact, Platner received a $200,000 loan from his Ivy League-educated father, a prominent attorney and Democratic donor, to purchase the home, as the Washington Free Beacon first reported.
