An embattled former Democratic candidate for a Florida State House seat admitted to state investigators that she fabricated her entire story of being a medical doctor and pulling 77 bullets out of 32 victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in June 2016. Before running for House District 28 just outside Orlando, Elizabeth McCarthy was the legislative director for the Florida Democratic Party's LGBT Caucus.

"I personally removed 77 bullets from 32 people ... It was like an assembly line," McCarthy said at a gun control panel earlier this year. She claimed to have been a cardiologist at Orlando Regional Medical Center on the night of the attack. She also repeated these claims in statements at campaign events with U.S. Rep. Darren Soto (D-Fla.) and in an interview with Florida Politics.
