Well, birds of a feather do flock together, and in the case of Democrats, put two in close proximity, and there is a good chance they lied about their past to get there. Recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has been falsely claiming a Native Indian lineage, has endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Socialist Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, who has been discovered to have declared himself as Black on his application to Columbia University. Apparently, lying on college applications about your ethnicity to gain an advantage over other applicants is standard operating procedure. It is not surprising that the WOKE people who created the boxes they want to put us in are experts in how to dishonestly use those boxes to gain advantage over the heathen masses.

Can you forgive a person, or specifically a politician, for lying? I think you first must consider the context of the lie. If it was about a fact that was simply misinterpreted, then maybe, but the magnitude of the lies from Democrats tends to be much larger in scope and speaks to the liar’s character. In this case, absolutely not. Take these few examples:

Adam Schiff (D-CA) is in the news daily due to the lies he told and the misinformation he manufactured. He lied about his permanent residence to save thousands on a real estate bank loan, and he propagated the phony Russian Collusion hoax for years. Bill Maher recently pointed out to Schiff that for more than a decade in office, we have only heard about a bogus hoax and know nothing of his stance on important issues like Social Security or Medicare. Sadly, Schiff’s career had been built on lies, and the foundation is finally coming down.

Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) famously lied about his role in the Vietnam War. He reported that he served overseas in Vietnam, but he actually never left the United States during his service. This is not a slip of the tongue, but a blatant attempt to elevate his standing for votes. It is an insult to the American people and specifically to every name on the Vietnam Wall. I cannot look at Dick without seeing a big “L” on his jacket.

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) will be forever known as the congressman who slept with a Chinese spy and compounded his dalliance by aiding his pillow partner’s escape from the country back to China, knowing she was about to be arrested by the FBI. Instead of being tried for treason, Swalwell continues to be reelected by the ignorant voters of California, who probably never heard a word of the story.

We are learning more each day about Zohran Mamdani (D)-NY)and the cracks in his story. Being endorsed by Cortez, who falsifies her relationship with her husband, and Warren, who lies about her ancestors, should be enough to condemn him on his character. Still, the side-stepping and back-peddling he is doing on the campaign trail speaks volumes. Mamdani is a sham, and the people of New York City must wake up before they give this charlatan the keys to Gotham.

So, no, you cannot forgive these people, for they show that in addition to being leaderless and lacking in any sound policy, Democrats have a massive character deficiency (DCD). Maybe they should treat their DCD, before focusing on the TDS.
