Oh, look. There's another one.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna made up parts of her biography from whole cloth. So I guess George Santos has company in the Liars' Caucus. --Bob

Luna and Santos have something else in common: aliases. Then again, many fine American leaders, such as presidents Ford and Clinton, had more than one name.

Some sorts of information are questionable in this.
Well, then

New Right-Wing Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Responds to Recent Claims That She Fabricated Portions of Her Past

One claim that’s got attention is that she has a Jewish background, after Santos’s outrageous lies on that subject. Actually, her grandfather fought in the Wehrmacht. No wonder she took her grandmother’s last name, not her father’s name Mayerhofer. (Her parents weren't married.)

And then there were three.

Meet some version of Rep. Andy Ogles. --Bob

As much as I find this disturbing, I can't help but wonder if the media were to turn its attention to Democratic legislators they would find the same thing happening.

You don't have to wonder. Joe Biden has made many false claims about himself in the past. Elizabeth Warren, Ilhan Omar, and others. And the media (the conservative side) covered those. I'm sure there are more. Policticians in general (left or right), especially at the lower levels, tend to exagerate their qualifications. I don't know why they would in this day and age of finger-tip investigation.

You really do not remember Biden's 1988 Presidential campaign?

I recall that a consultant wrote a speech for him that copied much of one by a British politician. That's not claiming to be what he's not.

Just have to open your eyes. It's all there. You can use Google.
