This image provided by the Ohio House Republican Caucus shows Rep. Dave Dobos, a Columbus-area Republican, sitting in the House chamber at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio on March 1, 2023. Dobos is under fire for falsely claiming for decades that he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has since stepped down from a House committee leadership post following the revelation.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A freshman state lawmaker in Ohio falsely claimed to have graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to the prestigious university, and he has stepped down from a House committee leadership post after that revelation. “I have known Dave to be a hardworking member for his constituents. This is disappointing news,” Stephens said in a statement.
Republican candidates are lying far too regularly about their backgrounds and qualifications. We need to start verifying all GOP bios BEFORE they get elected, and hold them legally accountable. The political funding/donations they receive are based on fraud.
But he didn’t get kicked out of the State House, like a couple of Tennesseans recently. Hmmmm. I wonder why-te.
(R)lying…SOP
He’s been a scam artist for years! I knew him when he was Columbus City Schools! Glad he is finally caught being the conartist that I knew he was! daviddobosliesagain
The NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY- LIE ABOUT EVERY FKN THING.......
They are all liars & cheats. Down to the very last one.
So this is a trend. Republicans lying to get elected!!!!!
They are all frauds and liars. Every single one.
DingoWTF58 Interesting tactic by the GOP. Destroy education in the US and lie about having one. How tongue in groove.
a republican lawmaker lying on his resume?...hard to believe (not)!
Why aren't there background checks for the nations highest leaders, law makers and decision makers? Seems important? You can't get a job at an entry level job without passing a background and often a drug test. WTF congress? SenSchumer RepJeffries create a bill to address this
The QOP is full of liars.
It is ALWAYS a Republican “embellishing” their educational background. Then those LIARS attack higher education & those who are actually educated. On top of all that, they strenuously resist any help re college loan debts for actual graduates.
PegsCooley Are any of them not frauds?
Another one? Another Republican falsifying their credentials? It’s…like a pattern…
In 2023 we now say falsely claimed instead of lied so we don’t hurt the feelings of lying liars who lie.
A Republican lied? Shocking!!🙄
Red/Blue, all swine.
Thoughts and prayers?
Why is it always the Republicans that seem to be lying to get into office? It's almost like they don't know that things they say can't and won't be checked.
chrislongview Is republicanism just a lie?
At least he didn't emulate George Santos by shrugging and saying, 'So what?' I guess that's what passes for ethics in the Republican Party these days.
Is it just me or are members of the MAGA GOP incapable of telling the truth? Why does anyone believe them? Remember, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. They seem to assume we're all fools.
If we can’t trust gop to vet their own candidates…how can we trust Americans will act responsibly with guns? The more these kinds of revelations come out, the more they undermine their argument for SelfRegulation. If you truly want less regulation, prove you’re worthy of it.
Maybe he simply IDENTIFIES as an MIT graduate. That's allowed. Isn't it?
It’s a god damn Republican EPIDEMIC! JFC! Can’t trust the so called “moral majority” - 🤣what a bunch of liars! 😵💫
JohnJHarwood A Republican lied? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!
TGearhardt Liar, liar pants on fire!
HC_Richardson So had this information NOT been made public, he would have continued in that role? republicanshavenohonor
What will Kitara Santos say? Kitara: LOL!
Anoth GOPLiar. Must be a day that ends in “y.”
Republicans sure lie a lot… deplorable af
I think its time for a comprehensive audit of every Republican congressperson's resume. There are so many now that at this point I presume that a Republican is lying about his credentials until I see evidence to the contrary.
This man taught an ACT course at a sister highschool in my area. I attended but was surprised to learn (after the fact) he did not graduate from MIT.
JohnJHarwood Who does this guy think he is? George Santos?
HC_Richardson It’s so hard to remember whether you graduated or not.
GOPLiesAboutEverything
We need to come up with some kind of standard for requiring truthfulness that holds them to some kind of standard. Misleading people to get them to vote for you seems to be getting more and more common. I'm looking at you, George Santos.
HC_Richardson Lie after lie after lie. The Republican Party has become a cabal of poorly educated liars and grifters. Maybe it always was, but at least they used to pretend to have a few scruples.
What was worrying to me was that he neglected to mention that he owes more than $1 million. I decided to look further & it gets worse. He’s not only a liar, he’s a crook. Seems to be requirement to be in today’s GOP.
JohnJHarwood Typical republican
JohnJHarwood ha ha ----good.
Damn, George Santos got us again!! fraud GOPClownShowContinues
HC_Richardson See that RepSantosNY03 - that's what you're supposed to do when you are caught in a lie - you do the honorable thing, but in order to be honorable you need to have regard for what is morally right. Guess that leaves you out.
I don't understand why people lie about things that are so easily verified or disproven
Embarrassing
They all lie but not about something as benign as that. Biden lied about his education early in his career too, but everyone got over it because they knew he was full of bull all the time.
HC_Richardson Republicans lie ALL THE TIME.
ZaleskiLuke It’s like a bad version of the movie Ground Hog Day. Every day I wake up & it’s a rep getting caught with sexual assault, fraud or in an excessive lie. It never ends…🤷🤷♂️🤷
There is no need for that. I don't concentrate exclusively on a candidate's education as much as I do their leadership experience in the private sector. I don't understand why anyone would lie about that.
JohnJHarwood
HC_Richardson He may be a GOP fraudster but at least he is not a GOP pedophile. So he has that going for him.
HC_Richardson The lies just keep on coming! So happy the truth about this bozo was found out.
HC_Richardson It sure seems like it is a coordinated effort amongst Republicans to lie about their qualifications to get elected. So, so many of them have done this.
I just checked and of course, he's a Republican.
HC_Richardson GQPClownShow doesn’t realize it would be easier to attempt to get an actual education then lie about it.
HC_Richardson Seems to be the “thing” with Repubs. Falsify school records. Falsify job history. Lie to constituents about their agenda. Dems to be the only way they can win elections. Lots of lying going on.
JohnJHarwood SpeakerMcCarthy Santos4Congress
Yet another liar and fraud on that side of the aisle.
Republicans are lying scum example number infinity
GOP why is it always you?! Liars, pedophiles, criminals always pointing the finger yet ITS ALWAYS YOU! 🤡’s
filterednews What's new? Republicans fake it until they make it and then they get found out for the lying fakes who they truly are.
What is with this trend of Repubs lying on their resumes?
Republicans just lie to our faces now.
Another example of republicans lying. I will be surprised when I hear a republican tell the truth. Gowdy was close by basically saying it is ridiculous for republicans to support trump based on who he is and his actions. republicans have shown repeatedly a lack of integrity
People who are caught lying about these kinds of things need to be removed altogether. There shouldn't be any room for this kind of nonsense. If someone working a regular job lied like this, they would be fired on the spot. Government positions should be no different.
When the leader of your party is a habitual liar, where literally 90% of what he says is a lie, why would anyone be surprised?
The GOP ALL LIES ALL THE TIME.
Always Republican...always...
Trump really taught Republicans that there are zero consequences for lying. The GOP is apparently full of frauds and grifters. This is just what they are now. And like, this guy got found out, but doesn’t look like he’ll actually suffer any consequences.
Hold politicians accountable.
This is a pattern, huh?
Liars lie
Just sad....
Another Republican committing fraud to gain power?
Biden lies every day. 🤡🤡🤡
lol a Republican who attended MIT if you're going to lie, at least make it sound plausible
Every candidate, every elected official should go through a thorough background check. Unfortunately, local press coverage is diminishing, ordinary citizens will have to take this task up. Ironically, we should all thank Santos for this new scrutiny.
Really guy? Why do people lie all the time?
These mf'ers lie about EVERYTHING....ALL THE TIME!!!!
Only a dumb, angry pedophile would vote for a Republican. They want society to collapse so they can molest more kids.
Another lying republican. Surprise.
Another Republican - is anyone surprised?
Why are candidates not put through some kind of background check prior to having their names on a ballot? Falsifying your resume is becoming a common practice for GOP politicians.
This tells me that the Democrats need a better vetting system.
How in the world can this keep happening? College degrees are the easiest fact to check...why are we not doing this? Don't automatically believe ANY candidate-- the colleges themselves should fact check. SMH.
Come on, people! Geez! 🤦♀️
