God I hate this child. Policies aside I fucking hate politicians that lie about their backgrounds for clout. Like all I hear about his book is how it describes growing up poor in a small rural town. The place he lived in as a child has a population around 50k now and, best I can find, also did when he was born. It’s like half way between Dayton and Cincinnati in their suburban area so it’s not even rural.
And Bernie Moreno who’s running for the other Senate seat in Ohio this year is trying to pull the same shit. This dudes parents emigrated to Florida but his dad was a doctor and his mother ended up buying a 4 bedroom house using money from her parents shortly after they moved to the US. Like bro you didn’t grow up poor.
Yeah I grew up around that region and you’re absolutely right it’s halfway between suburban and rural. Everyone I know from the area that’s read the book says he comes across as a middle class person cosplaying as Appalachian poor.
