THE GUARDIAN: Everybody loves Bernie Sanders – especially top Republican operatives

Illinois Democrat Cheri Bustos was recently caught breaking a promise about returning 10 percent of her salary. Once again, Bustos’ dishonesty is on display. In October 2012, she claimed to have divested from a mutual fund which had invested in the Hong Kong supply chain company Li & Fung.

But records show that she did not actually divest from the fund until May 2013.

[Her spokesman Colin] Milligan said at the time of the debate she thought it had been sold. “In her mind, it was,” he said. “She asked for it to be done.”

Bustos failed to confirm she had divested from the fund before she broadcasted false information and misled voters. Wouldn’t telling the truth be a lot easier?

Over the weekend, Gary Peters said that he had no intention of selling his investment in an oil company that produces products that he regularly attacks and called “dirtier than the dirtiest fuel.”

Peters had this to say to The Detroit News:

“‘Am I going to sell it? I have no plans of it, no,’ Peters told The Detroit News after speaking at the Michigan Democratic Party’s African-American alliance breakfast in Southfield. ‘It is an investment in the fourth largest oil company in the world. It has nothing to do with the Detroit situation.’”

So, Peters doesn’t care what a company does as long as it doesn’t do it in the city of Detroit. Those are some pretty strong convictions he has.
