Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald apologized today for mistakenly saying in a videotaped exchange with a homeless man that he had served in the special forces, though his service was entirely with the 82nd Airborne Division.
"Secretary McDonald has apologized for the misstatement and noted that he never intended to misrepresent his military service," a White House officials told ABC News. "We take him at his word and expect that this will not impact the important work he's doing to promote the health and well-being of our nation's veterans."
The exchange with the homeless man was part of a report about an effort to find military veterans among the homeless that aired on CBS News on Jan. 30.
Lying POS
That’s the CULTURE these days. EVERYONE is lying about their background and upgrading their supposed status.
This is not some kind of political statement that I’m making about one party or the other. I’ve seen this ACROSS THE BOARD ... almost everyone making up stories about their background ... even just “bumping it” a little bit.
I’ve heard people say that they include stuff on their resume ... because ... “they never check that stuff out” ... and it looks good. That’s the way the upcoming generation is with this kind of stuff.
AND ... it’s also catching on and spreading among the older ones, too ... the ones who should know better.
We’re going DOWN THE TUBES as a country ... for sure!
Yeah, “mistakenly”. He was “malquoted”! Down the memory hole with it!
Brian Williams takes ground fire from Apache Indians...
Wonder how dirty his career at Procter & Gamble was.
What is it about liberals and lying...?
at the battle of Lake Titticaca, seared into my memory. JFrikin K.
Lying about your education, experience, military service or other credentials is considered a resume enhancer by democrats.
They just keep coming and coming and coming.
That's where he met Brain Williams.
“...mistakenly said...” He just doubled down on his first lie...no one who served in the capacity he claimed EVER FORGETS! Any which way, it’s stolen valor and he should not be head of anything, except maybe a latrine!
The major POS in the White House is the reason...If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
It wasn’t enough to have served in the 82nd Airborne?
Post of the day! :)
Elizabeth Warren can get away with using undocumented (fake) Cherokee lineage to obtain jobs and promote Harvard, yet she is a LEADING Presidential candidate for the Dems. They have no honor or they wouldn’t LIE (misspeak).
I despise this bunch, all of them.
Maybe he misremembered and really meant Special Services.
This is stupid. There is nothing wrong with the 82nd and lots to be proud of. this is insulting to lots of people.
