Earlier today Twitchy reported that Sally Kohn hadn’t yet retracted the “sure fact” that Michael Brown was “fleeing with his hands up” when he was shot by officer Darren Wilson.
Here are Kohn’s responses in light of a leaked autopsy report that found Brown was not shot in the back:
.@sallykohn Do you still stand by your statement that Michael Brown was shot while fleeing with his hands up? http://t.co/11eG1OSHTQ

My tweets about #Ferguson shooting were in good faith based on apparent facts at the time. @TwitchyTeam

“Sure fact” downgraded to “apparent fact.”
I was just citing other sources then, but yes, some of what’s being leaked out now contradicts what was originally reported. @TwitchyTeam

It’s also interesting to note that Kohn doubled-down on the lie about the Michael Brown shooting even after an earlier autopsy report showed that Brown was not fleeing when he was shot.
We’re all innocent until proven guilty and I was lifting up that evidence at time, versus rush to indict/smear Mike Brown. @TwitchyTeam

To me, important is why so many on Right determined to smear Mike Brown from start. Why? What’s that about? @TwitchyTeam

But it was OK to spread the “sure fact” that a police officer was a murderer right from the start?

@sallykohn @TwitchyTeam So this is how you justify smearing the cop from the start? What's that about?

@sallykohn your tweets contributed to the false and destructive narrative. You should apologize
