Reply to comment by AlVic40117560_ in Republican Doug Mastriano told supporters he didn't get any money from Ohio derailment train operator Norfolk Southern. Records show he took $1,000. by Pennzingers

If he knew, then

>I didn't get any money from that train network

Is a lie. If he didn't know, then

>I know my own finances

Is a lie. Either way, the traitor lied.

Sure. But again, weird thing to use as a “gotcha!” You could just look at what he campaigns on and quote it directly and it’ll be way better than this one. You can do this with literally anybody. Politician or not. To assume every single thing they a person is going to be correct is insane. People are wrong at times.

Well, not every politician has participated in an insurrection.

Again, a much better thing to point out than this $1,000 thing.

There is no sane person that thinks any person, much less a politician, is going to be a perfect person at all times, and asking a pathological liar to stop lying isn't asking much at all.

I agree with all of that. What I’m saying is this little thing he said is something that could easily be something he was just wrong about isn’t necessarily lying. It’s very reasonable to think he didn’t know the PAC was at all associated with the railway. Knowing all of your campaign finances off the top your head is definitely a stretch, but it’s not really worth attacking a guy over. Especially when you’re talking about one of the worst politicians in recent memory. There are so many things to get this guy on. Why is this something to write an article about?
