OlderABC Refutes 'The Bachelorette's James McCoy Taylor's Claim They Supported Him During Capitol Riots
James McCoy Taylor, who was once a contestant on The Bachelorette, shared a tweet this week and publicly thanked ABC for having his back as he was involved in the Capitol Riots that took place last week in Washington, D.C.
However, ABC is denying his claims.
James, who appeared on JoJo Fletcher‘s season, took to Twitter and tagged both ABC and The Bachelorette pages.
Big thanks to #TheBachelor family for supporting me during this time… from top to bottom.
Conservative producers are the best!!
Thank you @ABCNetwork @ABC & @BachelorABC for having my back while I legally supported our President.

A source close to ABC told E! News that James‘ claims are “unequivocally false.”
After reading his claims on Twitter, The Bachelorette fans called him out.
“You were on the Bachelorette? I must have missed that episode…” one person wrote.
Another added, “have u considered disappearing yet.”
James‘ Twitter feed is full of support for President Donald Trump and his opinions about the “election fraud” that has been disputed. Days ahead of this tweet, James also posted about taking a bus to the capitol for the aforementioned gathering that turned violent.

Which one of your little friends killed the cop? Was that legal? If so, why are you all on No Fly lists? 🤔 By the way, The Bachelor scrubbed you entirely from Jojo’s special, so keep your alternative facts to yourself.

@ABCNetwork @BachelorABC please refute this claim ASAP, as I doubt it’s true. He clearly still needs to know that what he did was wrong.
