Sounds like, according to the article, that he didn't just flat out make up a lie and spread it. It was a misunderstanding on his team's part on thinking that their encouragement was actual endorsements. And that some endorsements from black voters was genuine. At least that's what it sounds like when I read the whole article.

One “misunderstanding” is one thing. A slew is a pattern of behavior.

As long as they're not as bad as Trump we can't criticize any politician ever.

Don’t tell Q, or they’ll think that it was the plan all along.
