Democrat Judge Kicked Out of Office After Getting Caught in Series of Outrageous Lies Including About Her Military Service

A judge in Louisiana lost her seat on the bench after making up a series of massive lies during her 2020 election campaign.

As The Daily Mail reported, Baton Rouge Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts was removed from her position by the Louisiana Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote. She is the first judge to be removed from office in the Pelican State in 16 years.

Foxworth-Roberts is a Democrat who was elected in 2020 by only 27 votes.

One Louisiana Supreme Court judge slammed Foxworth-Roberts’ “tortured explanations and excuses” while she was under investigation.

“Rather than take responsibility for her conduct, (Foxworth-Roberts) has persisted with tortured explanations and excuses,’ Justice Jay McCallum wrote. “Therefore, her conduct has done little, if anything, to show remorse or contrition.”

The biggest lie she uttered centered around her time in uniform. She claimed in a campaign ad to have served in combat in Desert Storm and has risen to the rank of Army Captain.

But there’s just one problem: Foxworth-Roberts not only never saw combat, but she was never deployed overseas at all.

The Mail reported:

In ads she ran while campaigning for the bench, Foxworth-Roberts wore military attire and claimed to have risen to the rank of Army Captain, and in one ad she said she was ‘no stranger to being on the front lines during the call of duty.’

But during the investigation into her claims, Foxworth-Roberts initially would not approve the release of her military records, and when they were eventually released, it was found that she never served in combat, and had never been deployed overseas.

Despite being found to have fabricated her combat record, Foxworth-Roberts reportedly argued that she played a role in Operation Desert Storm because she worked with veterans of the war at the Walter Reed Medical Center.

In addition to lying about her military service, Foxworth-Roberts submitted an insurance claim that stated $40,000 had been stolen from her after someone supposedly broke into her car back in 2020.

The crime actually happened outside her home, and the goods she reported stolen from the police were different than the ones reported to the insurance company.

Military Personnel on Social Media Call for Soldiers to Disobey Orders – A Violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice

Numerous videos have surfaced on social media depicting individuals claiming to be active-duty military personnel, in uniform, instructing troops to disobey President Trump’s orders.

Some of these videos are likely fake, created by individuals engaging in stolen valor, pretending to be active-duty service members or veterans. However, others appear genuine.

This conduct seems to violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which has long prohibited U.S. servicemen and women from making political statements or media appearances in uniform.

These posts not only violate that prohibition but could also be interpreted as insurrection or incitement.

Social media companies have explicit rules against “calls to action,” which are not protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Therefore, public calls to disobey lawful orders should be prohibited under both military and civilian law.

Yet because these posts target President Trump, social media platforms appear to ignore their own standards, while liberals applaud the so-called bravery of those who swore an oath and are now calling on others to break it.

One such video on YouTube, titled “Army Captain TELLS Troops to DISOBEY PRESIDENT’S ORDERS?!”, claims to show Army captain Dylan Blaha urging service members to defy orders if deployed under President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

The description reads, “An Army Captain is going viral after telling service members to disobey orders if deployed under Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

He calls their actions ‘authoritarian’ and ‘fascism,’ warning troops about unlawful orders and invoking the Posse Comitatus Act.”

Another video titled “Army Drill Sgt Calls Out Pete Hegseth?! ‘Karma’s Coming…’” features Staff Sgt. Corina Martinez, who went viral after posting a TikTok about “karma” and respect in leadership.

The description explains, “An Army Drill Sergeant, Staff Sgt. Corina Martinez, has gone viral after posting a TikTok about ‘karma’ and respect in leadership.

Now she’s being accused of taking shots at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth after his hardline Quantico speech.”

Trump Goes SCORCHED EARTH on Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, Demands Investigation Into Lies About His Vietnam War Military Service

President Trump went scorched earth on Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal and called for him to be investigated for lying about his military service in Vietam.

Stolen Valor Blumenthal, for decades, lied about being a ‘war hero’ in the Vietnam War.

Blumenthal did not serve in Vietnam. In fact, he joined the Marine Corps Reserve and received five draft deferments according to military records.

After Blumenthal was exposed for lying about his Vietnam War service, he came out and absurdly claimed that he had merely “misspoken” and really meant to say that he served “during the Vietnam era.”

It was all a lie, and now President Trump wants Blumenthal investigated for lying about his military service.

“Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” – And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!” Trump said.

“STOLEN VALOR!” – Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber GOES OFF, Screaming at Gov. Tim Walz for False Military Service Claims and Lawless Sanctuary State Policies in House Hearing

After seven hours of grueling testimony in an explosive House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) called out his Governor, Tim Walz, for disastrous pro-BLM and sanctuary city policies, his statements comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo, and stolen valor claims.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, sparks flew when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Chairman James Comer had a confrontation with far-left Democrat Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost when he disrupted the hearing, demanding the committee subpoena DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Her crime: being accosted aggressively by another Democratic Senator who was thrown to the ground and arrested.

In Rep. Stauber’s fiery exchange with Tim Walz, the Congressman brought a photo of rioters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, burning a police station during the 2020 George Floyd riots. “It’s a precinct burning down because of your decision! Was this a peaceful protest?” Stauber said as Walz refused to admit the riots in Minneapolis were not peaceful protests.

Stauber told the Governor, “As I watched lawless devestate Los Angeles this past week, I was reminded of your failure to protect Minnesota from similar riots.”

The Congressman further slammed the Governor for refusing to apologize or walk back previous statements he was asked about at least four times throughout the hearing, comparing ICE officers to Nazis and calling them the “Gestapo,” which he refused to do once again in the seventh hour of the nearly eight-hour long hearing.

He then took aim at Minnesota’s record of welcoming and protecting illegal aliens, as a befuddled Walz fumbled answers to Minnesota’s harboring of Al-Shabaab terrorists, child predators, and whether or not the officers who arrested them are Nazi Gestapo. He kept referring to “the tactics of wearing masks,” which is done to protect the agents and officers from foreign enemies, gangsters, and murderers.

“Why did you tell us that they were the Gestapo? You believe that any of the violent illegal immigrants I have mentioned have a right to be in this country?” the Congressman exclaimed. Walz replied disgracefully, “I don’t know what their immigration status was.”

Eventually, after tearing Walz to shreds on his sanctuary state record, the Congressman started his war on Walz’s military service records and accusations of stolen valor against the failed Vice Presidential candidate, asking him, “What weapons did you carry in war?” When Walz began to answer with a lie about the weapons he carried in a war he never fought in, the Congressman cut him off, and Walz began questioning what weapon Stauber, who was a police officer, carried in war.

“Governor, you’re barking down the wrong tree, okay? You lied to the Minnesotans. You said that you carry weapons in war,” Stauber shouted. “Stolen valor! You didn’t carry weapons in war!”

Wes Moore apologizes for ‘honest mistake’ in claiming a Bronze Star

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has apologized for incorrectly stating on a White House application more than a decade ago that he was a Bronze Star recipient. 

Moore, a rising star in the Democratic Party, served in the Army Reserve between 1996 and 2014. He was deployed to Afghanistan in August 2005 through March 2006. 

Though he has won multiple awards for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal, he stated on a 2006 application for the White House Fellowship that his service won him the award of a Bronze Star. 

“For my work, the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Action Badge,” Moore wrote on his application, according to documents obtained and published Thursday by The New York Times.

The Bronze Star is awarded to service members who perform “acts of heroism in ground combat,” according to the Air Force’s Personnel Center.

But Moore never actually was awarded the prestigious award, according to the Times investigation. 

In a statement Thursday, Moore said he made an “honest mistake” in 2006 when he wrote on his application for the White House Fellowship that he had won the prestigious military award. 

“While serving overseas with the Army, I was encouraged to fill out an application for the White House Fellowship by my deputy brigade commander,” Moore said. “In fact, he helped me edit it before I sent it in. At the time, he had recommended me for the Bronze Star. He told me to include the Bronze Star award on my application after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.”

Tim Walz’s Malignant Lies Disqualify Him From Being Anywhere Near Power

Ionce had a boss who was filled with big ideas. I quickly learned he was full of something else. He was eternally on the verge of landing the next lucrative deal that would save the company and make everyone rich. He delivered empty promises. Lies. 

But to this day I can’t decide whether he was just a run-of-the-mill, big-talking BSer or a malignant narcissist telling people what they want to hear to serve selfish purposes, buying time with the next lie.

Pathological gamblers think that way. 

Tim Walz is a “lying dog-faced pony soldier,” as Democratic Party-deposed President Joe Biden — a world-class liar in his own right — would say. Walz, the Marxist Minnesota governor who finds himself in the white-hot national spotlight as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate on the Dem presidential ticket, can’t even keep the “soldier” part of his story straight. His impressive resume of public lies has always seemed to be for the furtherance of power.

Stolen Valor Walz Plays Victim: “You Should Never Denigrate Another Person’s Service Record”

Bragging that he’s “a champion of our men and women in uniform” during a recent labor union conference for government employees, Walz also clapped back at media reports criticizing him for lying about his National Guard service.

“I’m gonna say it again as clearly as I can. I am damn proud of my service to this country. And, I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record. To anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent, I just have a few simple words. Thank you for your service and sacrifice,” he told the audience.

However, people aren’t denigrating Walz’s service record, they’re exposing the fact that he ditched his National Guard unit just after he learned they’d be sent to fight in the Iraq War.

The complaints are also coming from high-ranking servicemen like Walz’s battalion commander and others.

2008 Video Shows Tim Walz Implying He Suffered PTSD from Afghanistan Deployment

Newly resurfaced video from a hearing in 2008 shows Minnesota Governor Tim Walz implying heavily that he suffered PTSD from deployment to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Walz was speaking to the family of a Gold Star veteran at the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee on Veterans and Mental Health when he made remarks that suggested he had personal experience of PTSD after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004 with the National Guard.

“I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back. We were in support of OEF [Operation Enduring Freedom]… when we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it. That was in 2004.”

Since Walz became Kamala Harris’s presumptive running-mate, there has been intense scrutiny of his service record. Walz has been accused of “stolen valor” for making misleading statements about his rank and operational deployments. Walz never took part in Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for US operations directly in and above Afghan territory, but was posted to Italy with the National Guard in a support role. He has also been criticized for retiring from the National Guard in order to avoid a deployment to an actual warzone, Iraq.

On the mediocrity and mendacity of Tim Walz

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s new vice-presidential candidate, plays as a huntin’ and fishin’ Midwestern dad.

In truth, he leans even harder left than Harris. As governor of Minnesota, he legalized recreational cannabis, pushed net-zero carbon emissions, made his state a sanctuary for teen transgender surgeries, and was a hard-core Covid authoritarian.

All predictable for a blue-state governor. But put aside Walz’s policies (for now) and consider what we have learned about his personality and history since he was picked.

Nothing fueled Walz’s rise in the last few weeks more than his canny description of JD Vance and Donald Trump as “weird.”

The media and Democrats lauded him as plainspoken, a straight shooter who calls it as he sees it. A typical New York Times encomium1 for him began:

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota presents as a regular dad from the Midwest. He hunts. He fishes. He ice fishes… He is so normal that his normality has become exceptional…

[He has] the energy of a sitcom dad, one who embodies the archetype so winningly that he walks onto the pilot set and immediately becomes a star.

But n comparing Walz to a breakout actor, the Times may have stumbled upon an unfortunate truth.

When it comes to his military service, arguably the key to his political biography, Walz has – at best – danced between the raindrops for a long time. He put in 24 years in a Minnesota Army National Guard battalion, rising steadily through the enlisted ranks.

But he quit in May 2005, just before his unit was deployed to Iraq.

Walz says he had decided to leave in order to run for Congress before the unit received any formal deployment orders. The key word there is “formal.” Walz was among the battalion’s most senior enlisted men, and it was no secret by the end of 2004 that the war in Iraq was not going well and United States would likely need to call up and send more units.
