Yes. There are actually a lot of factual errors in his book. Which is annoying, if only because it shows his editor sucked.

The talk about his bronze star was discussed during his election. Not sure why folks are shocked now.


These dimwits don't write their own books. They're full of lies because it's all ghostwritten nonsense by their handlers, see also JD Vance.

It's called stolen valor. And it's a very big deal. And then it's also fraud when you use the stolen valor to land a job and pay you didn't deserve. If it was just a trinket, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to lie about it on resumes, bios, books, interviews.

Im sorry the main lie in the book was that he wasnt really friends with "the other wes moore", that isnt a factual error, it WAS the book. source: the other wes moores parents. i find that exploitive.

It came up repeatedly during his campaign and he claimed that he never made the claim himself and it was colberts and gwen's fault, had no idea where they got the idea from! thats the whole pt, and based on his latest response those reporters will keep digging. this is like santos/john edwards end game.

why bend over backwards when you have alsobrooks and others who dont lie constantly about unnecessary things to get ahead, what does he do about substantive stuff?

The Army gave out bronze stars like candy in those days. I think it’s an honest mistake.

If he had said ‘recommended for Bronze Star’ all would have been well.

oh yeah you know this to be 100% true?

and so what if true? more trumpy logic - it is a meaningless award. what did he do so badly to be the only one to never get it? why was that the ONLY line item on his bio used to introduce him at public events for a three yr period?

if there was that much deliberation on whether to include on app, how could you not know?

why did he say in 2022 that he had no idea where the claim he got it came from if he just realized he never got it?

none of these white lies come up for kamala biden hillary or obama. they come up repeatedly for him and he hasnt even done anything. this is his baseline MO

I see here he also claimed to have received the Maryland Football Hall of Fame Award.

"His resume with that application also claimed that Moore, then a captain in the Army, had received the Maryland College Football Hall of Fame Award. There is no such award."

I’m glad a democrat is willing to go on the record and agree with me that Wes Moore IS indeed a dimwit.

Thank you.

He also took the Hiesman Trophy and the Cy Young award the same year he was awarded the WBA Heavyweight Championship.

Yep.

Wes Moore may be re-elected governor if he does a passable job. He might even get elected Senator from Maryland some day. But now it’s unlikely he will ever reach the White House.

If you think the Bronze Star is a “trinket” you should sign up and try to go earn one.

He knew his statement was false when made. He truthfully could have said “recommended” or “nominated,” but he chose not to.


It was approved but not processed.
