A judge in Louisiana lost her seat on the bench after making up a series of massive lies during her 2020 election campaign.
As The Daily Mail reported, Baton Rouge Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts was removed from her position by the Louisiana Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote. She is the first judge to be removed from office in the Pelican State in 16 years.
Foxworth-Roberts is a Democrat who was elected in 2020 by only 27 votes.
One Louisiana Supreme Court judge slammed Foxworth-Roberts’ “tortured explanations and excuses” while she was under investigation.
“Rather than take responsibility for her conduct, (Foxworth-Roberts) has persisted with tortured explanations and excuses,’ Justice Jay McCallum wrote. “Therefore, her conduct has done little, if anything, to show remorse or contrition.”
The biggest lie she uttered centered around her time in uniform. She claimed in a campaign ad to have served in combat in Desert Storm and has risen to the rank of Army Captain.
But there’s just one problem: Foxworth-Roberts not only never saw combat, but she was never deployed overseas at all.
The Mail reported:
In ads she ran while campaigning for the bench, Foxworth-Roberts wore military attire and claimed to have risen to the rank of Army Captain, and in one ad she said she was ‘no stranger to being on the front lines during the call of duty.’
But during the investigation into her claims, Foxworth-Roberts initially would not approve the release of her military records, and when they were eventually released, it was found that she never served in combat, and had never been deployed overseas.
Despite being found to have fabricated her combat record, Foxworth-Roberts reportedly argued that she played a role in Operation Desert Storm because she worked with veterans of the war at the Walter Reed Medical Center.
In addition to lying about her military service, Foxworth-Roberts submitted an insurance claim that stated $40,000 had been stolen from her after someone supposedly broke into her car back in 2020.
The crime actually happened outside her home, and the goods she reported stolen from the police were different than the ones reported to the insurance company.
More from the Mail:
In the investigation into Foxworth-Roberts’ insurance claim, it was found that she had claimed around $40,000 in jewelry and expensive goods were stolen from her car during a break-in.
Police bodycam footage showed the judge told officers that the theft happened outside her home, but she told her insurance company that the break-in occurred miles from her house while she was out campaigning.
The judge initially told investigators with the Office of Special Counsel that she didn’t submit any insurance claim after the break-in, but later admitted that she had done so with USAA, the judiciary body said.
Officials also said that goods she reported stolen to police were different from those she reported to the insurance company, including adding an engagement ring to her insurance claim that she didn’t tell police about.
