Republican J.R. Majewski is insisting that he plans to stay in the race for a competitive northwest Ohio congressional seat after AP reported earlier this week that he misrepresented key parts of his Air Force service.
His latest remarks amounted to a far less robust description of what he says he did in the country. Majewski previously said he was deployed to the country, a term which refers to orders assigning servicemembers to a specific base or location.
They also gave no indication that he couldn’t discuss his service because it was “classified,” as Majewski said. “Is it possible he went on some night flight to Afghanistan to drop off supplies? Yes it is possible,” said Taylor, who was injured in a combat operation in Ramadi, Iraq, and had to be evacuated. “But again, he should have answered those questions right away.”
Majewski’s campaign previously said he calls himself a combat veteran because the place he operated out of — Qatar — is recognized as a combat zone. His military records state he has not received a combat medal.
