He’s certainly not the first. IIRC Senator Tom Harkin lied about being a combat pilot with over 100 missions in Viet Nam. He was a cargo pilot that never did get shot at.
How in the heck do these people get elected? Elizabeth Warren, Blumenthal etc? The republicans must not have good candidates.
When a man from UT named Stringfellow was found lying about his World War II record, he was soon hounded from office c. 1953. Times have a changed, and the American people tolerate untruth by their favoties than they once did.
Was it Harkin that blew his own legs off trying to toss a grenade in Nam? Or some other Dem libtard?
