Thad Cochran: 'I Don't Remember Ever Saying' I Did 'Indecent Things with Animals' as a Child

When asked by a local television reporter to respond to his bizarre comments about unsavory acts he said he committed with animals as a child, Cochran said he doesn’t remember.

“I think maybe I was misunderstood,” Cochran said. “I don’t remember ever saying [that].”

What Cochran said–according to video posted online by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger–was that as a child he did “all kinds of indecent things with animals.”

His campaign spokesman Jordan Russell at first tried to play it off to The Daily Caller as if it were a joke but has not responded to followup inquiries about what Cochran meant by “indecent acts.”

A local reporter for WLBT, a local NBC affiliate, said Cochran “seemed confused” when he was asked to clarify the remarks on Thursday.
