The New York Times published a list of supposed "Jewish leaders" in Michigan, claiming more than 500 of them support Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate. But it seems The New York Times was hoodwinked and didn't do a lot of vetting on this story, as many of the names on the list are raising eyebrows and questions.

Now, the story originally ran September 17, but it seems we're just catching on to some of the signatories, including one with the name "Jack Mehoff," which is a crude joke.

Here's more from the original article:

A group of Jewish voters in Michigan is urging support for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the state’s Democratic nominee for Senate, in an open letter that acknowledges concerns among some Jewish voters about his candidacy and his criticism of Israel.

The letter, signed by more than 500 people who identify as Jewish leaders or voters in the state, says that the election of Dr. El-Sayed, a staunch critic of Israel, is “clearly the better choice for Jews” compared with his Republican opponent, former Representative Mike Rogers.

“Some of us are enthusiastic supporters of El-Sayed,” the letter, published on Wednesday, reads. “Some of us have reservations: There are disagreements with El-Sayed on important issues, including aspects of his approach to Israel and the language used by some of his allies. These concerns remain serious for many of us, and we will vote for El-Sayed.”

"Mehoff" appears at 403 in the Google Doc.

Dozens of names have only a first name and a last initial, making it impossible to verify who they are, if they are Jewish, or if they are Jewish leaders of any kind.

What a time to be alive.

It's literally a Simpsons episode.

It really is.

This is very true.

As of right now, more than a month and a half after publishing the story, The New York Times hasn't issued any sort of statement, correction, or retraction.
