Another Democrat, would-be congressman, Ammar Campa-Najjar, caught faking his military record -report

Another Democrat, would-be congressman, Ammar Campa-Najjar, caught faking his military record -report

What is it about Democrats and fake and checkered military records?

So many of them do it. According to the California Post, Democrat congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar is identifying himself on voter ballots as a ‘Navy Officer’ instead of a ‘Navy Reserve Officer’ and apparently campaigning while in uniform. The title issue is considered an inflation of his ‘service’ while the campaigning-in-uniform issue is a violation of military directives.

The Post reports:

A California congressional candidate and boyfriend of a San Diego billionaire heiress is in hot water for allegedly fudging details of his military service to help his campaign — going so far as to stage campaign photos at the gravesite of a deceased Navy veteran.

The US Navy is investigating claims that Ammar Campa-Najjar — a Navy Reserve officer and boyfriend of Rep. Sara Jacobs who’s running his third campaign for Congress — violated Department of Defense rules against campaigning in military garb.

“Lt. j.g. Campa-Najjar is a Navy Reserve officer assigned to Fleet Public Affairs Center San Diego,” said a US Navy spokesperson in a statement.

But he appears to have inflated his position — describing himself as a “Navy Officer” in campaign filings and on social media before editing the mentions in recent weeks.
