What Bevin did was list "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" in the education section of his resume. It is misleading because what he actually did was attend an unaffiliated entrepreneurship program that rents space on the MIT campus. I wouldn't say it is a lie, but an attempt to mislead people who looked him up and make them think he went to MIT. Enough for the democrats and liberal media to crucify you over.
This is the screenshot of his profile from The Hill article about it. I had never heard of the story until I clicked the link in the OP.
