Numerous inconsistencies in Sheriff Gore’s account regarding his FBI exploits

Kimberly DvorakKimberly Dvorak 3 Comments

In a stunning turn of events, just days before the California primary, Sheriff Gore appears to have embellished his FBI exploits. Statements like “I stormed hijacked planes, I did all that stuff,” could have been exaggerated and needs further explanation. The emotional aspects of the San Diego County Sheriff’s race may have caused Gore, the current appointed caretaker of the …

The attention given to this race is not surprising since there is no elected incumbent for the highest law enforcement position in the county. We’ve seen some unusual …
