Dan Gillmor

Another right-wing member of Congress with a (partially) fictional resume. Not as egregious as Santos, but still pretty flagrant.

I'd like to see a foundation fund an organized crowdsourcing of resume checks of every candidate for Congress.

The making of Anna Paulina Luna

Luna’s sharp turn to the right, her account of an isolating and impoverished childhood and her embrace of her Hispanic heritage have surprised some friends and family who knew her before her ascent to the U.S. House this year.

@dangillmor I'd like to see a law that material misrepresentations during campaigning result in mandatory expulsion from Congress.

@dangillmor I mean, you'd think their parties would do it automatically before letting people get nominated, to avoid embarrassing oppo research...

@dangillmor she’s literally an actress hired by far right dark money to try and become the right wing version of AOC… hilarious
