Well, well, well. The Clayton Tucker lies and exaggerations certainly go back a LOOOONG ways, don’t they? All the way back to around June and July of 2012, as it turns out!
I always knew the “water researcher” bullshit on his resume was complete and utter nonsense. He was a junior in college at the time, and the entire “program” lasted approximately 41 days – of which one week was spent “training” in Pittsburgh. Not exactly enough time to have the slightest clue about any subject – especially when everyone over there speaks Chinese.
It certainly sounds like there was no hard science in young Clayton’s college career. Just a bunch of political “science,” which isn’t science at all. You can read the article here:
You don’t want to miss the awesome photo either!
Here’s my favorite part, where it basically admits this was all some “political science” bullshit and had absolutely nothing to do with any REAL research. Oh, and it was all in China.
In addition to the Chinese classes he has taken at Southwestern, Tucker said two other classes helped prepare him for the program. One was theTexas Politics Internship Program taught by Political Science Professor Tim O’Neill and the other was the Japanese Politics class taught by Political Science Professor Alisa Gaunder. Tucker said the Texas Politics class covered a lot about environmental policies in Texas…
The program began with a week of training at the University of Pittsburgh, and then participants headed to China June 20.
Tucker was assigned to apolitical science research team that included a political science professor from the University of Pittsburghand three other students − one from Middlebury, one from the University of Kansas, and one from Cornell. The team spent two weeks in villages along the Yellow River Corridor conducting research on the relationships between local economic development, overdependence on coal mining, the central government, and China’s water supply. Several Chinese students helped the team with conducting interviews, and finding and translating documents.
Wow. Sounds like hard-hitting research! A REAL LIVE political “science” professor was there to guide your research! Impressive. Now I see where his complete lack of anything grounded in facts, mathematics or hard science comes from. He never touched on any of that stuff in college. It was ALL political bullshit from day one.
Oh, also – Alisa Gaunder was educated at Berkeley, in case you are wondering where Comrade Clayton got his communist streak from.
I remember when I was in college, the three big joke majors were (1) political science (2) communications and (3) psychology. This was in 1988, before they had invented the current 27 joke majors like gender studies and all of that crap.
We did get another nice nugget from this article (and another):
Tucker said participating in the program has reinforced his interest in Chinese international relations and Taiwan issues.He hopes it will prove to be a good stepping stone to further studies in graduate school.
After graduating from Southwestern,Tucker hopes to attend graduate schoolin either Taiwan or China to study Mandarin.
Ah! Graduate school! Now THAT is something I definitely would have expected. The boy who wants to be a professional student forever, becoming more and more book learned in total bullshit subjects and getting letters after his name so he can labor under the delusion he’s super duper smart – and never having to get his hands dirty doing any real work.
[Sounds like someone else we know! “Doctor” Ryan Mata!]
I wonder what happened to that dream? Did good old Dad put his foot down on ANOTHER $80,000 in tuition wasted just to pad Clayton’s resume? Was he not smart enough to get in?
Whatever the reason, it is VERY clear that all this “fifth-generation” rancher bullshit was nowhere on the radar up until about four years ago when he realized he needed to put SOMETHING on the resume when he ran for office!
Here’s another blurb about his dreams a few years later…with no mention of ranching yet again!
Once a liar, always a liar. He’d be a great politician – if he could just get elected!!
