GOP Lies – Dave Brat Said He Went To Princeton, He Did Not Go To Princeton

Dave Brat

This little missed piece of nugget came after the Washington Post contacted the school asking for information on The Brat. The response from the school was a tad bit shocking!

“We have no record under that name.” said the University spokesman, Martin Mbugua.

As it turns out, he did obtain his masters in divinity in Princeton, which is a well respected theological institution but not the prestigious Ivy League school that Princeton University is recognized as.

Mbugua says that occasionally people “make an association between the institutions here in Princeton — an incorrect association.” Although the two institutions are located in the same town there is no connection between the two.

The WaPo has sent an e-mail to Brat’s campaign requesting a comment on the discrepancy, but has not yet received a reply.

Interestingly, Brat appeared on Mark Levin’s radio show and accused Cantor of making false statements about him during his primary campaign. Levin was one of the-far right talk radio personalities who supported Brat, saying that most of the party “sound alike, they look alike almost” and that the rank and file wanted a “Constitutional conservative in the leadership, not just the next guy in line.”

Jamaican Teen Offered 9 Scholarships by US Universities

TCHAKAMAU, the ambitious and brilliant schoolgirl the Jamaica Observer featured two years ago along with her brother for their academic achievements, has been accepted into 11 American universities, nine of which have offered her scholarships.

Her mother Kamau Mahakoe shared the news with the Observer yesterday, noting that she was proud of her daughter’s achievement.

“Clearly, l’m ecstatic. I feel really good for her because she has been focused from the start,” Kamau said of her 17-year-old daughter, who had been home-schooled before moving on to Immaculate Conception High School in St Andrew, and then the Hillel Academy on a scholarship.

“She has never lost sight of her goals… you don’t have to push her… she uses her initiative,” Kamau added. “I’m happy for her. Really happy.”

Among the 11 institutions in the US that have accepted the teen’s applications are Princeton, Duke, Yale, and Stanford universities and the University of Chicago.

The teen is still not clear on which she will be attending come August/September to pursue double majors in physics and biology. She wants to become an astronaut, her mother said.
