Current congressional candidate and Pennsylvania state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie claimed to be 29 years old when he was actually 37, an eight-year discrepancy.

      Do you just show up to say inflammatory shit just so people will converse with you?

      What’s your damage?

        He appears to be a downvote troll. Just block him.

    There are plenty of GOP members doing truly horrific shit to not have to scrape the bottom of the barrel like this

      Yeah, but highlighting the horrific shit doesn’t seem to stop them. Maybe highlighting the embarrassing will get them to at least feel shame for once in their lives.

    For those wondering, he’s 37, and he said 29.

      That’s probably the least worst thing any member of the GOP has ever done.

      Meh, as long as he’s only dating adults and not abusing anyone, i didn’t care. People lie on those stupid things all the time, and age is at the top of the list along with height & weight.

        I’m not saying it’s completely okay, but I do think that’s one of those lies that is kinda almost expected now.

        I might tease a bit, but no matter what age a girl tells me she is, I’m going to go with it. I’m not really expecting the real number there and that’s totally fine for me at least.

        Yeah, particularly because he’s clearly doing it to try and prey on 20 somethings but you’ve fed us on PREMIUM corruption.

        This amateur hour shit doesn’t cut it anymore, we NEED our FIX

        A little, but both sexes do it, and often. It’s really scraping the barrel.

    Kinda weird but really nominal considering what the rest of the party is being forgiven of by their base.
