A Florida GOP candidate apologized on Monday for saying she has a College Diploma and even posting a photo of it to prove the first questions about it.
This is just as bad as it gets. How can someone with such lack of integrity even stay in a political race because she chooses to ?
If this woman wins then there is no hope for our future if we elect people like that to our government, local or national.
Melissa Howard last week posted a photo of herself sitting next to her college diploma that looked like it was from Miami University after being questioned about it and the diplomas accuracy.
The Ohio University later sent a statement to the press saying that Melissa indeed attended the school but never graduated. The Diploma was a FAKE.
On Monday Howard posted an apology on her campaign facebook page and admitted she did not graduate the school. This is her exact statement:
"I made a mistake in saying that I completed my degree. What I did was wrong and set a bad example for someone seeking public service. I am staying in the race and intend to win and lead by example from now on."
She did decide to stay in the race for Miami Legislature though and intends to win.
She said she wants to lead with example from now on...
Wow... is this a race for Junior High or Politics ?
EDIT: She decided to drop out of the race on Tuesday.
