It has been three years since Senator Mark Kelly stopped claiming he did not dress as Hitler.
Here’s a photo montage of Senator Mark Kelly and yearbook photos from Mark Kelly’s Merchant Marine Academy days.
Senator Mark Kelly began claiming he did not dress as Hitler after National File’s Patrick Howley broke the exclusive yearbook photos of a man who looks virtually identical to Mark Kelly dressed as Hitler just ahead of the November 3, 2020, election, infamously won by the now retiring Joe Biden.
Within minutes of breaking the exclusive, the Democrat Party scribes at Gannett-owned AZ Central had four — FOUR — of Kelly’s classmates lined up claiming that it definitely was not Mark Kelly who dressed as Hitler in that photograph from the Merchant Marine Academy.
Within days, however, National File’s reporting smoked out one of the classmates — a highly paid Defense Department contractor who went to school with Senator Mark Kelly.
Huntington Ingalls executive Jenifer Boykin, who is paid more than $4 million a year to oversee a Dept. of Defense shipyard, admitted that she did indeed pose for a photo next to a classmate dressed as Hitler.
Mark Kelly and Perkins Coie quickly sued National File, claiming that Kelly did not dress as Hitler.
After nearly a year of legal wrangling, and a scrappy defense mounted by Patrick Howley and publisher Noel Fritsch at National File, Mark Kelly and Perkins Coie filed their own motion to dismiss the claim that Kelly did not dress as Hitler.
Kelly, it seemed, preferred to focus on his campaign going into 2022 against Peter Thiel conntected GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters. Kelly ultimately defeated Masters.
Fast forward three years, and Senator Mark Kelly — the same Mark Kelly who stopped claiming he didn’t dress as Hitler — and who had before claimed that he did not dress as Hitler — is being mentioned as a potential running mate for Kamala Harris.
Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed Kamala on Friday morning nearly a week after her ascension to the top slot on the Democrat ticket.
