Notes -
There are a lot of politicians whose public story has significant mismatches with available facts. From Warren claiming Native ancestry, to Obama being marketed as Kenyan and associating with domestic terrorists, to Ilhan Omar descent from a genocidal war criminal and her fraternal marriage... Seems to be a common theme there. Does it raise to the level of Arday or Abagnale? Probably not, at least not in the public record. But is it in the same direction couple of steps removed? I think so. Most politicians are fabulists by trade, and many of them do not resist the temptation to apply this trade to their own story.
It’s a bit tinfoil hat, but I suspect many of them are completely sheep-dipped actors.
