She's staying in the race and said her intent was not to deceive anyone and that she would win and lead by example? WTF and LOL?

As I read...."Alternative Diploma".

Trump likes her, maybe he will invite her to the oval for some pussy grabbing.

I love that she came out and said it was not her intention to mislead. What do you call going out of your way to make a fake diploma then post a picture with it?

The deception continues.

I feel like this needs to happen when someone tries to do something like lie about academic (or even professional) qualifications.

Has any one asked her what her intention was then?

Ironically Trump questioned Obamas diploma as well. I guess if you are black there are twice as many hoops to prove your credentials are real.

Is there a penalty for presenting forged documents?

Actually there is, but I doubt anyone will charge her, unfortunately. It's a first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1000.00 fine.

Florida statute 817.566 states, “Any person who, with intent to defraud, misrepresents his or her association with, or academic standing or other progress at, any postsecondary educational institution by falsely making, altering, simulating, or forging a document, degree, certificate, diploma, award, record, letter, transcript, form, or other paper; or any person who causes or procures such a misrepresentation; or any person who utters and publishes or otherwise represents such a document, degree, certificate, diploma, award, record, letter, transcript, form, or other paper as true, knowing it to be false, is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.”

Oh I can totally relate to her. I hate it when I'm walking through the house, trip over my broken morality and accidently create a fake diploma! OMG!

I'm pretty light on my feet so this has never happened to me. I'm assuming her morality is pretty small. It must have looked like tripping on air.

Well if she got it from a Cheerios box who are we to question it's legitimacy? Dayum! We (dems) really are out to get 'em if we're willing to delve further in to a thing when clearly there was no "real" need. We're assholes! :)

This kind of reminds me of Trump's campaign spiritual advisor who claimed to have a BS and then had to recant and then another R nominated for office who was caught plagiarizing papers for her Master's. Is anyone surprised by this trend in the new swamp?

"Howard’s announcement brings to an end one of the more bizarre chapters in Southwest Florida politics and brings relief to many local Republicans who worried her campaign was embarrassing the local party and making it a national laughingstock."

Too late!

THIS is what would embarrass them? I mean it should but there's a line of things ahead of this that should have embarrassed the party and has absolutely made it a laughingstock.
