Democratic Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland falsely claimed on an application to have been awarded a Bronze Star Medal for his Army service in Afghanistan in 2006, according to The New York Times.
Moore claimed to have received the honor on a White House fellowship application in 2006, and has failed to correct television hosts who have wrongly introduced him as a recipient of the award in the past, the New York Times reported. Moore, who has also defended Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz amid his accusations of stolen valor, called the discrepancy an “honest mistake” and expressed regret for not correcting his application, according to a statement from Thursday.
“I was encouraged to fill out an application for the White House Fellowship by my deputy brigade commander,” Moore said in a statement. “In fact, he helped me edit it before I sent it in. At the time, he had recommended me for the Bronze Star. He told me to include the Bronze Star award on my application after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.”
“Still, I sincerely wish I had gone back to correct the note on my application,” Moore continued. “It was an honest mistake, and I regret not making that correction.”
We all know what “honest mistake” means. He got caught in another lie.
The DemonicRats are the party of the father of all Lies! Satan! they offer up only death and destruction!
It’s been 18 years and he has failed to correct his “honest mistake”…..Yeah Right !!!
I like how he blames it on his superiors. I’m sure he MEANT WELL.
Translation: Sorry I got caught embellishing a thin record. But it was 18 years ago and I’ve been busy with padding other parts of the resume, as well as toting the line for the offshore wind crowd who are going to make bank while totally jacking electricity rates for the dummies voting for me as well as the bills of those who vote against me.
IIRC, didn’t Fake Day get a Bronze Star where the commendation cited two days of sustained work?
BTW, I’m pretty sure I’ll be nominated for a Nobel Prize, a Pulitzer and an Oscar so I’ll add them to my resume on a presumptive basis; if it’s good enough for Les Less it’s good enough for me.
Moore has been positioning himself for national recognition and prominence i.e. the future President Moore. Why not? He’s black, liberal and now a proven liar, ergo a prime candidate for democrats’ consideration. His big test is going on now: will he be able to muscle in the offshore windmills despite overwhelming opposition? If he can, he’s their hero and we’re screwed.
I never even heard of Moore until he ran for governor. Was he another “community organizer”?

All military service is honorable, and there is no reason to embellish it, unless, of course, you want to project yourself and claim false honor. This is the problem with politicians. Just be yourself. Don’t lie. THAT would be refreshing for voters.
You’re asking politicians not to lie? You don’t want much, do you?
