This reeks of STOLEN VALOR, says Congressional Candidate Kelly Cooper, referring to OD Harris' bold claims of military heroism.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Cooper writes:
This reeks of STOLEN VALOR.
Chandler City Council candidate, OD Harris claims to have served from 97-2000 as an admin and counterintelligence in the military.
His DD 214 appears to show he washed out of basic training after recycling multiple times (couldn't pass basic). He also includes, as service, a year in JROTC while in high school. Signing the blank check, which he did, is honorable. Lying about your service is dishonorable and reprehensible.
As a Marine Corps veteran and Chandler resident, I call on OD Harris to step down and withdraw from re-election or present a complete accounting of this video and his claims. He appears to have lied about his service and is bringing shame to his post on the city council. The men and women of Chandler deserve an honest representative they can believe.
Resorting to smear campaigns will never work in your favor. Show some integrity and respect for yourself. The hateful signs around Chandler are enough. Focus on your campaign rather than smear tactics because you can’t get the job. Absolutely disgusting
