What do you know? Another up and coming young socialist Democrat has a little biography problem:
A Democratic Socialist candidate for New York Senate faces questions after reports emerged that she falsified her biography, including claims about being an immigrant and Jewish, while her previous work shows she was a Christian conservative advocate.Julia Salazar, a progressive Democrat affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, has been touted as the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a young and hip socialist who would move the party further to the left. She also received an endorsement from the New York governor candidate Cynthia Nixon.But Salazar came under fire last week after an expose in Tablet magazine, which examined Salazar’s claims about her biography.The candidate for state office previously told multiple outlets that she’s an immigrant from Colombia and noted that her family immigrated to the U.S. when she was young. Her father, she said, was Jewish but the family had little contact with the American Jewish community after they arrived to the country. (Fox)
We've now reached a point where Democrats need to embellish their resumes with "ethnics" or clicking every box in the census.
It would make more sense if they would tell us the truth about their ethnic background and then explain how they are going to pay for "Medicare for All".
