A former Florida Democratic House candidate recently admitted to lying about removing 77 bullets from dozens of victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, a claim that led to her being cited with violating state law, documents show
The documents, released by the Florida Department of Health, say Catherine Elizabeth McCarthy admitted to a state investigator that she lied about being a doctor, including when she said she was one of the doctors who treated victims of the June 2016 massacre, which left 49 dead at a gay nightclub in Orlando. McCarthy was a registered nurse in the state until her license expired in 2005, but has never been a licensed doctor, according to the Washington Post.
During one of them, the congressman introduced her"as a cardiologist with Orlando Health Regional Hospital" and"a doctor who showed her mettle and heroism after the Pulse nightclub shooting," according to the documents.In a statement provided to CNN on Monday, Soto said he was"deeply troubled by these sick fabrications" and that his office"has adjusted our license vetting protocols as a result of this situation.
