Sen. Orrin Hatch calls FAKE NEWS on CNN's Jim Sciutto for claim about 'offer to Christina Blasey Ford,' suggests correction

As Twitchy told you yesterday, CNN correspondent Jim Sciutto helped prove that media bias is alive and well with this take about what Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser faces:

The offer to #ChristinaBlaseyFord is blunt: testify in public six days from now while under death threats or your allegation will be ignored in the confirmation of a SCOTUS nominee. That is quite a choice.

GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch’s Twitter account called out what is not only an incredible level of bias, but also not even close to the truth:

This is not close to the offer to #ChristinaBlaseyFord.

Chairman Grassley offered an open or closed hearing, reached out to discuss timing that would work for Dr. Ford, has even offered to send staff to California.

This deserves a correction.https://t.co/DcafA30Y4P

We wouldn’t hold our breath waiting for any correction.

Well, @jimsciutto?

So far, crickets.

Update:

Miracles do happen, but guess which one will get FAR fewer retweets:

Jim Sciutto tweets a lie – 5,400+ RTs.

Finally tells the truth and tweets a correction, 20 hours later – 30 RTs.
