The Daily Beast reports:
After the Associated Press reported that Ohio Republican congressional hopeful J.R. Majewski had wildly exaggerated his military and professional background, Majewski held a press conference Friday to insist that his full military records are “classified.”
Despite frequently boasting about being a “combat veteran” who fought in Afghanistan after 9/11, military records published by AP showed that he only spent six months loading planes in Qatar, where there are no frontline battles.
Read the full article.
Also, Majewski:
-claims he’s considering suing AP
-says if elected he’d push for a law that would make it a crime to “besmirch veterans”
-says he flew into “multiple bases” in Afghanistan but does not provide specifics
-Says he has photos of himself in Afghanistan, might share— Luke Ramseth ⚔️ (@lramseth) September 23, 2022

J.R. Majewski is trying to do damage control after the AP found he misrepresented his military service. Last night he appeared with Teddy Daniels and laughed after Daniels called me a “homo-looking dude” for writing about the story. https://t.co/vfmZ07clNE pic.twitter.com/rRFxDu0DJG
