Navy veteran John Garofalo appeared on a Fox News segment this month, showing off a massive presidential seal he carved for President Trump while receiving praise for his service in Vietnam as a SEAL.

The piece was broadcast nationally and featured cascading shots of all Garofalo’s medals. Online, it went viral, racking up 1.5 million Facebook views on Fox’s Facebook page.

“The Vietnam War veteran served seven years as a member of the nation’s first Navy SEAL team,” Fox News reporter Bryan Llenas said. “He was awarded 22 commendations, including two Purple Hearts.”

Um, not exactly:

Garofalo said he had falsely portrayed himself as a Vietnam vet and a SEAL for years.

“It got bigger and bigger,” Garofalo told Navy Times in a telephone interview. “What I did I‘m ashamed of, and I didn’t mean to cause so much disgrace to the SEALs.”

Records show Garofalo did serve in the Navy from Sept. 6, 1963, to Sept. 6, 1967, as an aviation boatswain’s mate ― aircraft handling, or ABH, a job that involves overseeing various ground-based functions involving aircraft.

The closest he ever got to Vietnam was a tour in Rota, Spain.

Hint: The google is your friend.

So he is no different than a sitting Senator in Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). Meh.

Fox gets trolled a good amount.

Al Frankin looked in the mirror and lied to himself. Nobody likes that dude.

Trump lies. His supporters lie. Fox news lies. America is finally great again.

Obama/Hillary lied. Their supporters lied. CNN lied.

See how easy that is.

He lied, but the comment didn't make the news besides local stuff until it was proven to be a lie by the NYT. Nobody did a national feature on his awards and "time in Vietnam".

That's because he's a Democrat. The mainstream media hides the foibles of Democrats while simultaneously exposing those of Republicans. I've watched it happen for my entire life.

Well hell, if you like your plan you can keep it. If you like your doc you can keep him too...

No, it's because he never made a habit of saying it and only said it away from the media. He did a good job of keeping it in rallies with vets and not coming up with awards that don't exist.

Ah, so it’s okay now to lie to Vets cause it’s behind closed doors. Go it. Or is it because he has D next to his name?

One is an example of some, likely, young underpaid producer failure in looking up backgrounds or confirmation on potential guests while looking for people to fill air time.

The other isn’t that. He used lies to gain political and financial advantage.
Much like that other fraud up there, fauxcahontas.

Who said it was ok? I just said it was the reason it never made big news.
