His lie exposed, Kean chooses to stick with it
Give this much to Sen. Tom Kean Jr.: Once he tells a lie, he has the courage to stick with it, even after hard evidence proves its a lie.
You can begin to see why he had no trouble endorsing President Trump for a second term.
The lie is vicious and personal, a charge that Rep. Tom Malinowski, the Democratic incumbent in the 7th district, worked to protect child sex predators in 2006 when he was Washington director of Human Rights Watch.
The ad claims that Malinowski lobbied to oppose a national registry for sex offenders, and thats simply not true. Human Rights Watch stated in writing at the time that it did not oppose a sex registry, only the bills harshest provisions, like the one that could ensnare a kid charged with public urination. Its on HRW spelled this out in a letter that is in the Congressional Record, page H691, so theres no wiggle room. The ad is just a lie.
