There’s nothing wrong with what he did at the time at all. What is wrong is that he lied about having a degree.
I'm not a Rand Paul fan, and certainly not a fan of either lies or of Rand's father, but this is not a lie. Many people consider medicine to be a part of biology. The difference between the literal truth and his literal words, even for those who do not consider medicine to be part of biology, is not worth the time needed to clarify a peripheral detail. I've "lied" about my degrees too, claiming a high degree on my resume two full days before it was awarded, but after completing all requirements.
“What is wrong is that he lied about having a degree.”
I don’t think the vat majority of people would see it that way...
[What is wrong is that he lied about having a degree.]
His hair made him do it.
Are we sure he didn’t complete his Biology degree while at Duke? Just out of the gate, I’d prefer to believe Paul than the Wapo. Although, I am for Cruz; not Paul.
No, an M.D. Is a degree. A much tougher one than BA, I might add. I know from personal experience.
