Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-TN) acknowledged for the first time on Monday that he did not receive an international relations degree from Middle Tennessee State University.
I would be fired from my job yet this liar gets to be a Congressman with no accountability.
He didn’t know what is degree was in?
The Frist thing you do to graduate is to tally up your credits and make sure they all align and meet requirements.
(See how I stuck Frist in. First)
Now, back Hunter’s laptop
This is the entire comment, @discoasshole.
I was mistaken when I said my master’s degree from Harvard was in international relations. It is actually a GED. I regret misspeaking.
What kind of imbecile doesn’t know what degree he actually received?
Oh, there’s an R behind his name. Never mind. No doubt he has a PhD in lying his ass off.
“…calling himself an ‘economist,’ even though he took one college economics course that he barely passed.”
In all fairness, Republicans have a lot of trouble understanding basic economics.
He knew his major. He just didn’t want the word “liberal” on his resume.
“At the time it was my understanding I had completed my course of study in Political Science and International Relations,” Ogles said in a statement. After requesting his transcript from the university, Ogles explained,
“…I discovered that I hadn’t.” Ogles continued, “It turns out I’m too stupid to breathe. Or else I’m lying again. Either way, it makes me an exemplary Republican congressman.”
… he actually received a “broader degree in Liberal Studies with minors in Political Science and English.”
Liberal Studies?
Can’t imagine he figured that wouldn’t play well with the constituents whose votes he was seeking.
h/t @melvt
GOP pols are now finding it’s more electorally advantageous to have a faked college degree, or no degree at all.
I’m not sure what to say about the quality of a degree when the recipient cannot recall exactly what it is he got a degree in.
and calling himself an “economist,”
I flew economy class once. It taught me a thing or two.
The peanuts were salty.
But don’t feel you have to call me ‘Doctor’.
Just because there’s an egg shortage doesn’t mean the price should rise.
To this day I still have nightmares about counting credits to graduate.
Who doesn’t.
a broader degree in Liberal Studies
This is the degree you get when you have enough total credits to graduate but don’t have enough upper level credits to actually get a degree in anything. We use to call it a “BA in Intro.”
I would think these youngsters would realize that almost anything can be looked up on the Google.
Oh my god…I am normalish?!*
