Report: Minnesota Dem Senate Nominee Peggy Flanagan Falsely Claimed Phi Beta Kappa Membership, Misrepresented College Credentials

The Wall Street Journal reported that Minnesota Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan misrepresented her college credentials, falsely claiming Phi Beta Kappa membership and listing two majors instead of one major and a minor. However, the Flanagan campaign later reversed its position, confirming she was indeed a member of the honor society. This follows an initial statement from the campaign claiming she had never joined the prestigious organization due to the associated costs of membership.
