His lie exposed, Kean chooses to stick with it

[TexasTowelie]

Give this much to Sen. Tom Kean Jr.: Once he tells a lie, he has the courage to stick with it, even after hard evidence proves it’s a lie.

You can begin to see why he had no trouble endorsing President Trump for a second term.

The lie is vicious and personal, a charge that Rep. Tom Malinowski, the Democratic incumbent in the 7th district, worked to protect child sex predators in 2006 when he was Washington director of Human Rights Watch.

The ad claims that Malinowski lobbied to oppose a national registry for sex offenders, and that’s simply not true. Human Rights Watch stated in writing at the time that it did not oppose a sex registry, only the bill’s harshest provisions, like the one that could ensnare a kid charged with public urination. It’s on HRW spelled this out in a letter that is in the Congressional Record, page H691, so there’s no wiggle room. The ad is just a lie.

1. Pandering to Q-Anon and the RWNJs in NJ

While NJ is a dark blue state, it also harbors an inordinate amount of hate groups. The KKK is one of many. My guess is that Jr. is trying to build a legacy independent of his father. It's like George P. Bush, Jeb's son, endorsed Trump after the latter insulted his father repeatedly.
