Scandal in the Wind 2023. George Santos gets Sashayed

[wbrocks67]

Well, at the very least, with presidential turnout in 2024, Santos seems like one of the most vulnerable Rs in a Biden seat.

[Alben Barkley]

So to summarize:

- No record he ever worked at Citigroup or Goldman Sachs
- His “charity” is not registered as tax-exempt by the IRS
- No record of him attending the college he claimed to graduate from
- No clients for his “firm” exist
- No records of the properties he claimed to own existing
- Omitted key personal financial disclosures during campaign
- Charged criminally for check fraud in Brazil
- Lied about losing four employees at the Pulse nightclub shooting
- Evicted multiple times
- Bounced between several failed business ventures over two years
- A person at the address where he is registered to vote said she is not familiar with him

[Independents against George Santos]

I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to figure this out, but I also wish I had as brazen an ability to lie on my resume.

Earlier in my career I used to be responsible for sorting through resumes and interviewing engineer candidates (which thankfully I don't do anymore).  One guy had the most impressive educational resume I ever saw, featuring BS, MS, and PhD in EE from Stanford, MIT, and Caltech in some combination.  It was indeed too good to be true, as I quickly discovered by calling the universities, and into the wastebasket it went.  I've never understood how people think they can get away with something so easily verifiable.

Is the dude even real? Where is Mr. Trump demanding a birth certificate? Biden or another rank and file Dem should demand him to release it and offer to donate 5k to a charity of his chosing.

What a massive oppo failure by the DCCC. The good news is that this story seems bad enough that they can still use it against him in 2024. Politicians embellishing one or two things on their resume is common and can easily fly over the heads of voters, but to completely lie about your entire past? That's a f*** up the size of JR Majewski's waistline and it points to a closet full of skeletons. It's going to be really tough sweeping this under the rug.

[Gracile]

The DCCC was aware of some of Santos' questionable background during the campaign:

SPM needs to be excommunicated from the Democratic Party.

I was thinking less about claiming I graduated top of my class from an Ivy, and more of being able to BS my way through claiming a compentency in some software I've maybe used once.

Turns out the iceberg runs even deeper than we thought

[Suburbia]

He's a joke.

Did Italians support him?

[DrScholl]

Democrats are known to take the high road too much so it wouldn't surprise me if at least a few people in the Democratic apparatus knew about this and just didn't touch it. He shouldn't even take his seat, but a huge liar like this is not going to act honorably.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The R party is a mess and voters voted for Vance a Maga R and Johnson and this guy in NY 3

[Joe Republic]

Why would Santos resign?  His idol Donald Trump has fabricated most of his accomplishments and nobody cared except the people who already hate him.  The Republican playbook is just keep doubling and tripling down, never apologize, whine about liberal media lies, and carry on like nothing happened.

[President Johnson]

He's a total fraud? Sounds like Trump's guy!

[Adam Griffin]

Gays are persuasive liars, news at 11

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

George Santos is going to be the most legitimate congressman of all time. Democracy haters beg like dogs for him to resign so they can steal back his seat.

[Spectator]

Zimemrman’s campaign never thought to do a background check on him?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Can't wait til 2024 so we can nix the Filibuster and pass Voting Rights that's why Liz Warren and Sanders are running for reelection

[It's not just that you are a crook senator]

Honestly, I have no choice but to stan.

[Ferguson97]

Absurdity of these lies aside, this guy is clearly a serial liar and is not qualified to serve as a member of the House. This isn't like the Ohio GOP veteran who embellished his service record, this is unhinged behavior.

[kwabbit]

Do we actually know if he’s gay? One would wonder why someone would lie about that, but the same is true for a lot of this other stuff. He’s gotten some attention for being the first Republican to be elected while out, maybe it was to make him stand out.

[Ferguson97]

Do we actually know if he’s gay?

I mean this is by definition impossible to prove one way or another.
