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

It’s a stretch to say that someone who didn’t grow up in Baltimore is misrepresenting where he is from when he says/writes that he and another man with the same name, who did in fact grow up in Baltimore, grew up at the same time in the same streets? Your idea of being honest and forthright is clearly different than mine. It’s this type of playing fast and loose with the truth that bothers me, along with the unwillingness to own it or correct it.

Though at this point it doesn’t matter because I’m not voting for Dan Cox. So it’s Moore or bust.
Here’s a CNN article breaking it down:

I didn’t vote for Perez either but while he was DNC chair the Democrats gained back control of the House, the Presidency, and the Senate. Really not sure how anyone could call that an “absolute disaster.”
The presidential nomination process was a disaster and he consistently favored candidates too far to the left to win.
