Melissa Howard, the GOP candidate for a Florida state House seat who was accused of lying about her college degree and NRA rating apologized on Monday, pledging to stay in the race and lead by example from now on.
After questions arose about Howards academic credentials, the state House candidate posted a photo of what she said was a copy of her transcripts to Facebook. She also sent photos of what she said was her diploma to media outlets, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

She sounds like a stealth democrat. It’s a good thing the primaries are a couple weeks away. I hope she loses.

She thinks she is too cute to get speeding tickets. Sad to see it’s a republican, but kick her skanky ass out of the party.

Dang. She just should have sealed all of her records from birth until now. It worked for the ‘magic negro’ -— even up to the office of pres__ent

She is just another politician that is so used to lying that she does not know what is the truth. Just like other politicians to her the truth is what she says.

Needless to say, the local leftmedia rag, the SHT (that's "Sarasota Herald-Tribune") has been short-stroking this for the last two days.
I don't know how any GOP candidate can think they can pull off something like this. Even the smallest lie, the most minuscule mistake, will be scrutinized and magnified to make a mountain out of whatever molehill the DNC propaganda ministry can find.
Of course, the folks they approve of, the Democrat Socialists (hey, that's what they call themselves now), get a free pass.

It was an accident. People fake mock-ups of college diplomas all the time, no big deal. She’s still “honest and a good person”, just as she says.
To: ToxicMich
Too late...she did a LOT of work to fake her background. This was no accident.

It’s worse. She lied about her NRA rating.
To: ToxicMich
Now she's into grade inflation... The Herald-Tribune also reported that Howard posted about an A rating from the National Rifle Association on Facebook; however, Marion Hammer, a former NRA president who now leads the group's lobbying efforts in Florida, said Howard actually received a B grade.
