Introduction [0:00]
The speaker introduces the topic of Wes Moore, the black governor of Maryland, and suggests that he is a frontrunner for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination in 2028. The speaker believes Moore is likely to be a VP pick due to his race and woke politics, but also because he is allegedly a liar, similar to Tim Walz. The speaker highlights that Moore is being confronted by CBS and other mainstream media outlets about inconsistencies and alleged lies in his biography, including claims about awards, his family's history with the KKK, and military honors.
Questions About Oxford Thesis [3:41]
The speaker presents a clip from an interview where Wes Moore is asked about his Rhodes Scholarship and attendance at Oxford University. The interviewer notes that Oxford does not have a copy of his thesis and asks if he submitted it and why it might be missing. Moore responds that Oxford has verified he completed his degree and received a master's in international relations, emphasizing his integrity and dismissing the inquiry as a right-wing attack. The speaker then plays a news report detailing inconsistencies in Moore's academic record, including conflicting dates for his degree completion and discrepancies in the title of his thesis. The report notes that Oxford could not confirm or deny that Moore was ever a doctoral candidate or that he submitted a thesis.
Doubts About KKK Claims [9:04]
The interviewer questions Moore about claims in his book and campaign speeches that his great-grandfather was run out of South Carolina by the KKK in the 1920s, noting that the Washington Free Beacon has cast doubt on this with church records. Moore dismisses the inquiry as coming from a right-wing blog. The speaker argues that Moore is relying on dismissing the allegations as partisan attacks to deceive people into believing he is honest. The speaker emphasizes the importance of addressing the facts rather than deflecting with accusations of political bias.
Historical Records Contradict Moore's KKK Story [11:18]
The speaker asserts that there are no historical records to support Moore's claim that his grandfather was forced to leave the country by the KKK. The speaker presents evidence suggesting the opposite: that Moore's great-grandfather voluntarily left for Jamaica to replace a deceased pastor. The speaker shares findings from church documents indicating that the white community in Pineville, South Carolina, held Moore's great-grandfather's church in high regard. The speaker cites reports of a prominent pastor's death in Jamaica and Moore's great-grandfather's subsequent appointment to take over the position, suggesting a planned and formalized transfer rather than an escape from the KKK.
Conclusion: Moore as a Potential VP Candidate [17:12]
The speaker concludes that Moore is likely auditioning to be the Democratic VP candidate in 2028. The speaker argues that Moore fits the profile of a Democratic VP candidate because he is a liar who is willing to embellish his resume and experience for political gain. The speaker draws a parallel between Moore and Tim Walz, suggesting that Moore's race makes him an even more appealing candidate. The speaker emphasizes that the records indicate inconsistencies and potential lies, raising questions about Moore's integrity and honor.
