This is going to be a shitnado.
I noted a couple days ago here that defence attorneys are going over her testimony, since she lied about having a relevant degree on the stand in numerous cases against people. Her testimony swung juries in dozens of cases, sending people to prison.
The university where she claimed to have a PhD said she never received any degree there, only taking a couple classes.
โI believe Taraโ has become like a mantra, rather than a statement of belief. Much like a fable of old, it doesnโt matter how ridiculous or fantastic it may sound, they cling to it and attack anyone who calls it into question. And generally for the same reason: There is something about the fable, some meaning to it or some use of it, that they cannot bring themselves to abandon.
At this point, I think Berners choose to believe Tara because to turn on her would mean abandoning what they see as the last hope for Bernie. If they acknowledge that Tara is a liar, then their ammo is spent, and they have no hope of convincing enough people to abandon Biden to make his nomination anything but inevitable.
