Having won her primary last night, Julia Salazar is now essentially guaranteed a seat in New York’s state Senate, as she has no Republican opponent. And as a politician, she is uniquely qualified.
That’s because Salazar faked her own biography, almost from top to bottom. And more importantly, she managed to get away with it!
Per a Friday report in Fox News:
Salazar’s time at Columbia was as recent as 2013, meaning her swing from a conservative who appeared on Glenn Beck’s show to a democratic socialist was suspiciously rapid. Her own brother has even stepped forward to question the candidate’s claims about their family’s financial struggles and travels to Colombia.
But wait, there’s more. The Fox report continues:
It’s all very strange. Nevertheless, the Democratic Socialists of America seem to have figured out how to get their affiliated candidates elected around New York City. Salazar trounced a 16-year incumbent in Thursday’s Democratic primary. More than 20,600 of the 35,000 votes cast were fer her, amounting to an 18-point margin of victory over Martin Dilan.
Salazar is part of the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wing of the Democratic Party. Of course, there’s some irony in an insurgent, anti-establishment candidate being just as dishonest as your average lying politician. Whatever brings the revolution sooner.
