I agree, Santos' degrees likely are B.S.

Apparently he told coworkers that he was born in Brazil, so it's possible that he's not even a citizen: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-george-santos-a-us-citizen

if he is a naturalized citizen why would this matter?

I’m getting Aaron Coleman vibes from this guy, I’m sure there’s more to come.

It wouldn't. But given everything else, would it be that much of a stretch to say he's lying about being a citizen?

“Santos ran a failed campaign in 2020, during which he filed a financial disclosure declaring virtually no assets and a salary of $55,000. In his 2022 campaign, his disclosure claimed a $750,000 salary and several million in assets, including an apartment in Brazil valued at nearly $1million.

‘These massive jumps in income and assets have not been explained or documented. In both financial disclosures, Santos signed statements that his claims were ‘true, complete, and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.’ ”

I freaking called it… and I was just joking.

next up: he’s not actually Latino

Or he doesn’t even have American citizenship

I mean, he probably did learn it from him.

So here's a fun fact for everyone: Great Neck, which the fictional village of West Egg from The Great Gatsby is based on, is in this district. If Jay Gatsby was a real person and alive today, Santos would be his incoming congressman.

He admits to lying about his education and work history and says he still intends on being sworn in as a Congressman.

Oh f*** off with this! I've used that joke before since my Jewish background is very secular, but my mom has a blatantly Jewish surname, so it's much less of a stretch.

Well, if that's true, nothing else here really matters.

[ProudModerate2]

Since a vast portion of his credentials (who he is) is all fraud/lies, can the House choose not to seat him?
This idiot should not be in office.
And are there any laws in NY where he can be prosecuted for this?

I mean, I hate the way he is trying to downplay this atrocity ...

“To get down to the nit and gritty, I’m not a fraud. I’m not a criminal who defrauded the entire country and made up this fictional character and ran for Congress. I’ve been around a long time. I mean, a lot of people know me. They know who I am. They’ve done business dealings with me.”

“I’m not going to make excuses for this, but a lot of people overstate in their resumes, or twist a little bit. … I’m not saying I’m not guilty of that.”

Ok I think I'm officially moving this to Lean D in 2024.

Glad this far-right grifter is getting his just comeuppance.

I think there's enough moderates/establishment Republican types left that if Jeffries decides to try and go there, he will have the votes for it.

My prediction now is that he and Sinema will join forces for… something. New party? NFT art gallery? Their own crypto? An Onlyfans? Who the hell knows at this point, all I know is both of them seem to be grade A attention who’res

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

For anyone wondering why I refer to Santos as 'far-right/alt-right' just keep in mind the type of company he chooses to keep. Absolutely zero sympathy for this lying bastard although really, with the modern state of the GOP he fits right in so I have zero faith that they'll disown him.

Do we know for sure he isn't Black?
