Republican Josh Mandel's Hometown Paper Warns He'll Lie His Way Through Senate Campaign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ohio Republican Josh Mandel's hometown newspaper has warned the public that he'll lie his way through his campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2022 to garner attention from the press.

Mandel, 43, a former Ohio state Treasurer and Marine veteran, announced his run for the state's open seat to replace retiring Senator Rob Portman earlier this month. The campaign will be Mandel's third run for the Senate. In 2012, the Republican lost to Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown and in 2018, he prematurely ended his campaign due to family health issues.

On Saturday, Chris Quinn, the editor of cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, explained that the paper will not cover Mandel in the same way as other candidates because of his alleged tendency to "not tell the truth" when delivering political statements.

"Usually with political campaigns, we cover where the candidates stand on various issues and report what they say," he wrote. "The issue is that Mandel has a history of not telling the truth when he campaigns—he was our PolitiFact Ohio 'Pants on Fire' champion during his first run for Senate because of the whoppers he told."

1. He sounds like a perfect GOP candidate, then.

No ethics, refuses to debate in good faith.

how all media should handle the lying liars of politics.

Josh Mandel goes all in for the Trump lane in Ohio’s Senate race

JI: What are your thoughts on Trump’s response to losing the election in the lead-up to the Capitol siege on January 6?

Mandel: I think President Trump told the American citizens to march peacefully. And I think ‘peacefully’ is a very clear word that every American understands. The events of January 6 are not President Trump’s fault. It’s the fault of people who chose to break the law. But what President Trump said was very clear — march peacefully — and I think everyone understands what the word peacefully means.

JI: Who in the Senate do you feel you have an affinity for?

Mandel: Ted Cruz. Mike Lee. Marco Rubio. Those are some.

A newspaper with some standards. Unlike most of the unethical rags that are only interested in making a buck...
