What a perfect campaign scandal. Montana Senate candidate Tim Sheehy says in stump speech he was shot in the arm in Afghanistan. Post finds a Ranger report of him admitting he accidentally shot himself in the arm in Glaciar National Park in 2015 and paying a $525 fine over it.
Sheehy says the campaign speech version is correct, and he was lying in 2015 about shooting himself to protect his former Afghanistan platoonmates from an investigation.
Considering how close Glacier National Park is to Afghanistan, it sounds pretty Credible to me. Was he platoonmates with Tom Cotton?

I hear those international Park Service investigations are brutal
@NurturingRobinDemocrat1mo1MO
Ex-Navy Seals who choose GOP politics really are some of the worst people. Big red flags all over them. Never vote for them

Van Orden has an alcohol problem, Sheehy maybe shot himself, Eli Crane is bat **** , Greitens is an awful human who had to resign and should have been charged. Crenshaw might be the only halfway normal one.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
Is it ever acceptable to lie about personal experiences for a greater good, and where do we draw the line?
@FreedomSummerRepublican1mo1MO
How hard is it to verify records of a serviceman getting shot in Afghanistan? Not that hard, yet WaPo didn’t even take a minute to verify which story was correct???
