Privileged Patrick Murphy’s fictional biography keeps haunting him even as he tries to shrug off the pile of evidence that he’s lied about every line on his resume.
Murphy has once again been shredded for his fabricated record, this time by a Sun-Sentinel editorial that refuses to let him off the hook for ‘stressing technicalities’ and ‘squinting at facts’ in order to ‘soft-pedal the extent to which his wealthy father has boosted his career.’
Everybody wants their resume to "pop." Sometimes that leads to a little exaggeration here, a smidge of embellishment there. But exaggerate too much, pile on too much embellishment, and the resume doesn’t pop, it blows up…
Sure. We get that if you stress technicalities and kind of squint at the facts, Murphy can sort of justify most of the material he has included on his resume. We get that he wants to stress his financial expertise and soft-pedal the extent to which his wealthy father has boosted his career.
But this kind of resume-padding is what you’d expect from the guy who wants to manage a dollar store. It’s not what voters deserve from a man who wants to be their senator…
Murphy’s campaign called the recent CBS report "deeply false" and "misleading." Not really. There are some quibbles, but this clearly is a case of resume inflation by Murphy.
And Murphy’s list of nonstop problems keeps growing as he continues to enjoy a life of unimaginable privilege while taking a taxpayer salary. While Florida was under a state of emergency for a toxic algae outbreak in Murphy’s home district, Privileged Patrick was spotted over the weekend on his family yacht in Nantucket.
While he refuses to acknowledge a lifetime of resume inflation and his constituents are trying to remedy toxic waters back home, Murphy enjoyed a relaxing weekend on ‘Cocktails,’ which, according to the Tampa Bay Times’ Adam Smith, costs $100,000 just to fill with fuel.
Must be nice.
