Move over, George Santos! Yet another questionable Republican résumé has emerged – By Jen Hayden (Daily Kos) / Feb 17, 2023
The newest faces of Congress continue to surprise, but not in the way voters might’ve hoped when they cast their ballots.
The latest sketchiness comes from Middle Tennessee, where the resumé of freshman Republican Rep. Andy Ogles—who won a highly gerrymandered seat in November—is getting a closer look. According to NewsChannel 5 in Nashville, Ogles has at various times claimed to be a businessman, an economist, law enforcement, and even an “expert in international sex crimes.”
Ogles gained a national spotlight during the vote to make Kevin McCarthy (barely) speaker of the House when he initially opposed McCarthy, alongside fellow freshman scammers George Santos and Anna Paulina Luna. Since then, NewsChannel 5 has unpacked his resumé, and bit by bit, his backstory seems to be full of holes.
