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

Re: Oh, look. There's another one.
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.

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.)

Re: Oh, look. There's another one.
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.

Re: Oh, look. There's another one.
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.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: Oh, look. There's another one.
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.Appa23 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 1:16 pmYou really do not remember Biden's 1988 Presidential campaign?Bob Juch wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 12:29 pmPlease cite any false biographic claims by Democratic politicians.BackInTex wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:49 am

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