Breaking news! Another republican gets caught "embellishing their record, George Santos style" lies and said he was a cop

Another Republican congressman is facing accusations of embellishing his professional experience and résumé just weeks after reports surfaced concerning Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y.



ccording to a Thursday report from WTVF, a local Nashville CBS affiliate, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., repeatedly misrepresented himself as "an economist," boasted about nearly nonexistent experience in law enforcement, including handling "international sex crimes," and exaggerated his role working for a nonprofit combating human trafficking.

Ogles' office told Fox News Digital that the discrepancies are due to "condensing his résumé" while on the campaign trail, and that the reported accusations are fueled by political bias. Republicans are facing increased scrutiny after revelations that Santos falsified details of his life beyond just his education credentials.

WTVF reported instances in which Ogles claimed to be an economist, and noted that he also claims in his congressional bio to have studied "policy and economics" at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). The outlet reported, however, that Ogles has never worked as an economist,



Additionally, WTFV reported that Ogles previously worked in what appears to be an administrative role as executive director at the Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics, but that no economic reports from the institution authored by him could be found on its website.


On Ogles' law enforcement claims, the report noted that during his race last year, he referred to himself during a debate as "a former member of law enforcement, worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking," along with other examples of him using similar language.


The outlet reported that the Williamson County Sheriff"s office said "there is nothing in Mr. Ogles' training or personnel file that indicates he had any involvement in 'international sex trafficking'trafficking'


When reached for comment, Ogles' office attributed WTVF's report as "an attempt by the liberal media to make something out of nothing."
