sounds like maybe he thought it was an error and got distracted campaigning, paid it as soon as the article came out.

on the other hand, its insane that the democratic party in such a wealthy blue state produced a guy who lied about being from baltimore and also cant seem to keep up with his bills. the bar is so low.

blue no matter who though, ill take stupid over evil every day of the week and twice on sundays.

The baltinore thing is so weird. I mean he grew up in the Bronx in the 80s and 90s he could have written the same exact book and just said his life was the same as a kid on the streets of baltimore since in the 90s those 2 places were very similar. Why specifically say he grew up in baltimore when he didn't.

I don’t get this argument, though? He moved from Montgomery County to NYC to Baltimore. He lived in Baltimore at age 14. Did he actually say he lived in Baltimore his whole life? I tried to read the book years ago but was so GD bored by it I never finished.
