As Twitchy told you earlier, a black female student at a school where Karen Pence teaches who said she was assaulted by three white male students who forcibly cut her hair has recanted the story and now says it was all a lie:

But as you know, that didn’t happen before the New York Times and many other media outlets ran with the story, and they sure made it known that it allegedly happened at a school where Karen Pence teaches.
The press was only to happy to have the headlines scream “ITS WHERE KAREN PENCE IS A TEACHER!!!”
Trying to insinuate it’s her fault? She’s an ickie racist Jesus freak dontcha know… Or somethingWill this get the same attention? I think not.
The press is pure trash https://t.co/Czf9czRVyz— LaurieAnn ??♂️ (@mooshakins) September 30, 2019
So what’s next for the media? Will they have a full mea culpa and pledge to wait until all the facts are in the next time before churning out stories that fit a particular narrative? More than likely some will simply find an updated spin. Charles C.W. Cooke predicted one such possibility:
Quick, pivot to "Karen Pence's school found to be hotbed of lying." https://t.co/nfgaF6qOXg

That would not be unexpected, and neither would these:

New Narrative: school were Karen Pence teaches found to produce students prone to lying.

"Is Karen Pence's religious school is teaching children to lie about children of other races?"

Let’s just say we would not be surprised by that one bit.
