At least Mikie showed a strong desire to not be caught in a lie.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., a Democrat primary candidate for governor of New Jersey, admitted in an interview with Charlamagne tha God that her family has seen its net worth more than triple to nearly $14 million during her three terms in Congress.
The admission came during questioning on Wednesday’s edition of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne’s popular syndicated radio show.
Charlamagne pressed Sherrill about reports in Newsmax and the Washington Free Beacon, which detailed her and her husband’s $7 million gain in net worth from stock trading.
Sherrill in December paid a fine for failure to report her gains.
Sherrill appeared to stumble when Charlamagne asked about her substantial increase in wealth and being fined for the unreported trades during the interview posted to X.
"I, I, uh, also don't trade individual stocks," Sherrill first replied. "It's been widely reported. I've, uh, I, my husband doesn't trade, we don't trade individual stocks.
"I don't think anyone in Congress should, quite frankly."
When pressed on just how much Sherrill was forced to report having made, she attributed it to "automatic" stock trades, then had an awkward pause before accusing Newsmax itself of having been fined. Sherrill’s allegation is false; Newsmax has never been fined. ...
I'm totally out of individual stocks, and I, like I said, I think every member of Congress should be."
She additionally answered she was unaware of her windfall of more than $7 million since she was first elected to the House of Representatives from a district in northern New Jersey in 2018.
"I, I haven't," she said. "I don't believe I did, but I'd have to go see what, what that was alluding to – again, what kind of came from."
Later in the interview, she essentially acknowledged the wealth increase, attributing it to her husband.
"So," she said with another extended pause. "I think we made money from, um, my husband's job. He gets paid in, stocks. They're automatically sold. So, I think we made money there.
