TRIVEDI ADMITS HE HAS BEEN LYING TO
VOTERS FOR NEARLY 9 MONTHS ABOUT HIS EMPLOYMENT
Hospital Officials Confirm Trivedi Hasn’t Worked There Since the Fall of Last Year
(Glenmoore, PA) - In a PA2010.com news story Wednesday, DCCC-backed candidate Manan Trivedi admitted that he was not a doctor at Reading Hospital despite intentionally misleading voters to believe he worked there for the last nearly nine months. In fact, he has not set foot in the hospital since the fall of last year (in all of 2009, he reported income of only $18,000 from the hospital, proving he hardly worked there to begin with). Still, even today, images on Trivedi's website continue to associate himself with Reading Hospital and his Facebook profile lists the Hospital as his employer.
Trivedi has centered his campaign credentials on the fact that he is a doctor at Reading Hospital. His admission yesterday indicates he knowingly and repeatedly gave false information in hundreds of campaign speeches and in approved campaign material sent to thousands of voters and countless left-wing donors. Among some of the documented examples:
- Trivedi’s current Facebook profile, which even today still lists his employer as Reading Hospital, is in fact, FALSE.
- when Trivedi dropped a mailer May 5th stating "he is now a physician at Reading Hospital and Medical Center,” approximately six months after he stopped working there, that statement was in fact, FALSE.
- when Trivedi circulated a 6-page fundraising packet June 17th in advance of a fundraiser with lawyers, when it twice stated he was a "primary care physician at Reading Hospital and Medical Center,” approximately seven months after he stopped working there, that statement was in fact, FALSE.
- when Trivedi updated that same 6-page fundraising packet and circulated it last week in advance of a health-care oriented fundraiser in Washington, which twice stated he was a "primary care physician at Reading Hospital and Medical Center,” approximately eight months after he stopped working there, that statement was in fact, FALSE.
- Trivedi continues to use his association with Reading Hospital, as it is prominently featured in photos on the homepage of his website, to imply he is a doctor there, which is FALSE.
"The fact that he continues to say today that he is employed at the hospital, when he has not worked there for nearly nine months, speaks directly to his credibility," said Mark Campbell, Gerlach campaign spokesman. "Trivedi's campaign is a hoax and he has truth problems. He lied to Democrat primary voters to defeat Doug Pike. I guess he thought he could continue the big lie without anyone actually checking."
