Republican Congressman-elect is a total charlatan with an entirely fake résumé

[Anonymous]

But wait there’s more. Love a congressman who defaulted on less than two grand on his Discover card. Plus this:

“Mr. Santos asserted on Twitter that stones and eggs had been thrown at his house and that he had spent four and a half hours filing reports with the police and insurance companies.

Ms. Pothos, 72, said that she did not recall any such incident. The New York Police Department, when asked if it had reports of violence, vandalism or disputes at the Whitestone address for early that January, said it had a report of an incident there in October 2021. It did not respond when asked to clarify if that was the only reported incident at the address that year.

Mr. Santos told Newsday in March 2022 that he had left the Whitestone home, purportedly because of the vandalism, though he refused to share a new address. But Ms. Pothos said that Mr. Santos had not moved out until August and asserted that she had to spend $17,000 to repair severe damage left behind.”

👀 MCCARTHY KNEW THIS GUY WAS SHADY AF.

PLUS, even the Washington Times is looking into this, seems to be getting serious. This also might explain the “senior House GOP aide” who told Cook Political Report months ago that “they’re not touching him with a 10-foot pole,” quoted earlier in the thread.

“A campaign staffer trying to raise money for Republican Representative-elect George Santos called up donors last year pretending to be Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s chief of staff, a GOP insider claims.

The source, connected closely to the New York Republican Party, told the Washington Times that Mr. McCarthy’s aides first learned of the Santos staffer’s behavior in August 2021 when a suspicious donor flagged as “unusual” the contact from Mr. McCarthy’s congressional office.

State GOP operatives found out the scheme by the Santos campaign staffer involved not only impersonating McCarthy Chief of Staff Dan Meyer but sending follow-up emails to the donors from a fake email address.”

Why did these voters choose this low life? This is a pretty educated, affluent district?

Latest question is whether the guy is even a citizen. For the record, this is not verified at all and is just another statement that doesn’t get. But he once told a friend apparently that he was born in Brazil. He has also said, I believe, that he was born in Queens. If he was born in Brazil, did he become a naturalized citizen?

It’s a nice, quiet, Republican free thread. Just another crook wholly embraced by the GOP.

Plenty of Rs on the thread. This man is a fraud and the voters were defrauded. It's bizarre that you are making it the fault of the voters because they dared not to vote D.

Give me a break. This candidate offered nothing. The voters on LI went to vote for that election denying trump humper Zeldin, and then just voted down the line like lazy fools. They got what they deserved.

I think it’s the fault of the GOP voter that they will accept any swill at all and that it’s the fault of the GOP itself that they never enforce any standards whatsoever. What’s bizarre is that fraud and crime are the hallmarks of Republican politicians.

Was this behavior disqualifying for Santos or is this district stuck with this loser?

Uh, they voted for the guy. Twice.

It just shows how horrible the GOP is, but god forbid a democrat wife is abused by her husband and is forced from office, or a senator who used to be a comedian took a funny picture 10 years before he considered public office and is forced from his seat.

No, don't go both siding this or blaming democrats.

Where were the Dems? This was a democratic seat. They let this low level scam artist walk away with it. Pathetic.

Don’t go blaming Dems for Republican voters gladly voting for another con man because he had an R next to his name. The GOP and their voter base have a serious morality problem and it’s no one’s fault but their own.

TBD. Tish James is looking into him and I expect he lied on federal forms filed with the FEC so the FBI will probably get involved as well. But he’s pledged to support McCarthy for Speaker so he won’t care.

Where was the opposition research hammering at this clown BEFORE the election. This was has second run as well.
