Mum of James Holmes claims ABC NEWS mischaracterized her statement
AURORA, COLORADO: In a not so surprising twist to the typical propaganda surrounding ABC NEWS, the mum of James Holmes [Arlene Holmes] has come forward claiming that the news outlet read her statement to the public wrong after having contacted her around 6 a.m on 20 July.
“This statement is to clarify a statement made by ABC media. I was awakened by a call from a reporter by ABC on July 20 about 5:45 in the morning. I did not know anything about a shooting in Aurora at that time,” Holmes said in a statement this afternoon, read to the national press by attorney Lisa Damiani. “He asked if I was Arlene Holmes and if my son was James Holmes who lives in Aurora, Colorado. I answered yes, you have the right person. I was referring to myself.”
“I asked him to tell me why he was calling and he told me about a shooting in Aurora,” she continues. “He asked for a comment. I told him I could not comment because I did not know if the person he was talking about was my son, and I would need to find out.”
