... what else will they lie about? |
A few weeks ago, I mentioned how Connecticut Attorney General and Democratic Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal lied about his military service record - he said he had served in Viet Nam when he hadn't. When confronted with the truth he said he had misspoken about his military service. More recently, Illinois GOP Senate nominee, Mark Kirk, lied about his military record as well. In his case, for years he has been claiming an award he did not earn. When confronted with the truth, he claimed his award had been misidentified on his official biography. Misspoken and misidentified are weasel words used to soften the fact that these two men had intentionally lied to inflate their image to the American public. The fact is, they still lied. The question I have about people like this is if they're willing to lie about their military record, which is something the press can easily verify, what else will they lie about?
