NY Dem. Assemblywoman does a George Santos: years of lying

Democrat Inez Dickens

It isn't only Republican Rep. George Santos and President Joe Biden who lie every time their lips move. Now there is Democratic Assemblywoman Inez Dickens who got caught after spending years telling people she was a graduate of Howard University. Not only did she not complete a degree there, she didn't get a degree anywhere. [H/T NY Post]

The Democrat is currently in a primary battle for the Harlem City Council seat being vacated by Kristin Richardson Jordan, a police-defunding lesbian socialist, although she would only cop to being a democratic socialist, as if that's a different thing. Jordan has been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. She only served the one term which was marked with abundant controversy so she had to step down or be thrown out.

Anyway, back to Dickens. 

She  “completed her studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C,” reads her official Assembly website, possibly at a time when Beau Biden was killed in Iraq if you believe Joe Biden's malarkey. 

A 2005 voter guide from the city Campaign Finance Board read that Dickens had a “degree” from Howard University. Also that year in a questionnaire by Citizens Union, Dickens claimed: “Education: Howard University (BA).”  Then again in a different questionnaire in 2009 she claimed she did graduate work at Howard, but the school registrar revealed that her claims were poppycock--she was never enrolled there to have graduated from there.

 

Her  CFB voter guide entry this year does not list any information about her education because she has been caught lying, and while Joe Biden has done the same myriad times, she doesn't get a hall pass.

Dickens’ campaign said the Chicago work had been a “federal Housing and Urban Development management certificate,” and confirmed she never received a degree from Howard. That's like getting a participation trophy for the schoolyard potato race.

They chalked up the educational discrepancies to “simple errors," when it really should have been chalked up to simply bull crap. 

“Inez has attended various institutions to receive relevant certificates so that she can further her education,” a rep said.

 But let's not forget that these lies makes her a qualified Democrat and highly electable over any Republican with a Harvard degree because she's a Democrat and that's what they do. Remember Kamala Harris? "It was a debate. A debate."
