Earlier in the day, we went to Cohen’s campaign web site. We started calling people on his “endorsement” list to find out if they still endorsed him.

Cohen won Tuesday’s democratic primary for Lt. Governor. Since then, allegations of spousal abuse and police records of an arrest have raised concerns about the character of this candidate. Several public figures have called on Cohen to resign and withdrawal from the race.

Just now, we returned to the site to fact-check a name and the “endorsement” page has been taken down. Good thing we copied the list before they had technical problems:
