(24,698 posts)I have a cousin who has been trying to elevate himself in the party since Reagan. His schtick is "I was in the motorcade with Reagan, I ran trmp's campaign in Oakland County, I met with trmp and he's considering me for Ambassador to Lebanon", etc. My mom keeps getting fb messages from him - "John A***** is at Mar-A-Lago". He went crazy on me right before the election at my mother's house, right after answering his phone. I'm sure it was someone he wanted to impress with some "I had to straighten out my liberal cousin" bullshit. By the way, I was in the motorcade with Kennedy, just so you know. I was 4 years old and we were trying to get to his campaign speech in Mt. Clemens MI but the roads were packed. My mother said "Look, there's the motorcade!" I stood up in the backseat and looked out the window of our '58 Edsel just in time to see a couple of Lincoln limos drive by. There, now you know.
