Expecting integrity and honesty from a candidate is not “values signaling.” We all make mistakes in life and I can accept that candidates are human, but when I see repeated red flags of dishonesty, it is absolutely going to cause me to pause. I felt the same way with Biden at first, considering his repeated allegations of plagiarism. I voted for him, as I will Moore, but it will absolutely be with reservation. I value honesty.

It’s a moral high horse that Ds love to perch themselves upon an end up looking like hypocrites in the process. His mother moved to Pasadena when he was 16, while he attended middle school. It Is quite common for AA who grew up in Pasadena or Columbia to spend their time in Baltimore as teenagers. The book is telling the story of how his life could’ve gone in a very different direction and the fact that he split time between the Bronx, MD and military school and became a scholar is the point of his story. Thinking like yours is exactly why decent people don’t run for office.

Just stop. He literally said in interviews that he and the other Wes Moore grew up in the same streets. I’m not saying this is a fatal flaw, but please stop pretending that he didn’t completely misrepresent his background in the name of selling a book. The insistence that the misrepresentation didn’t take place makes it worse.

If you say so 🙄

The denial is becoming Trumpian. I didn’t say so, Wes Moore said so. Read the CNN article linked above.

I read the article, the book and listened to his speeches, your assertions are a stretch.

My kids are growing up as close to Baltimore as Pasadena and if they ever said they grew up in Baltimore I would laugh in their faces! Absurd.

I promise that your teens will end up running around Baltimore without your knowledge. That seems to be the gist of Moore's claim - he was running around Baltimore when he was an adolescent and young man. Just like every other suburban kid in Bethesda who ran into DC to hang out with their friends in those same decades.

Here’s the thing, this wasn’t the gist of his claims. He wrote a book that was premised on 2 Wes Moores growing up at the same time in Baltimore who followed very different paths. This book was not premised on Wes from Pasadena who came into Baltimore to hang with friends on break from military school and Wes from Baltimore who was running the streets taking 2 different paths in life. No one would have cared about Wes from Pasadena’s path vs. Wes from Baltimore’s path, so he stretched the truth to create a hook for a book.

Are you a person of color? I’d would surmise that in the year 2000 when Wes Moore was 22 and there was a manhunt less than 20 miles away for another Wes Moore in there late teens/early 20s who shot and killed a police officer in Baltimore proper you might draw a few life parallels.

My race has nothing to do with it. He wrote a book that didn’t draw parallels, but led everyone to believe that he grew up in the same neighborhood and faced the same life circumstances as the other Wes Moore but chose a different path, which was patently false. Why in the hell are people so intent on dancing around this and making ridiculous excuses?! Acknowledge the poor judgment in fostering and allowing the misconception to perpetuate and move on, but continuing to double down and pretend he didn’t embellish this part of his story is ridiculous and quite frankly a little Trumpy.

Wasn’t he the head of DNC when the emails were leaked?

No, that was McAuliffe.

No ones dancing, we just don’t see this as some egregious affront to our sensibilities. It was a fantastic book, he is a wonderful candidate and I’m sorry (not sorry) your guy is not ahead on the votes. PS lose the Trump insults, not everyone who disagrees with you is a Trump supporter.

To each their own, some people don’t mind lying and misrepresentation as long as the person’s heart is in the right place I didn’t have a guy I strongly supported, so I really don’t care all that much other than to be appalled at Cox’s win, but I am just incredulous at people not acknowledging that this book, though you may have thought it was fantastic, was creating an image of Wes Moore’s life that wasn’t true. And let’s be real, if Cox or some other Republican candidate had written the same type of book you would excoriate him. I am so over the double standard of the current political climate.
