Serial liar George Santos is the politician Americans deserve

Man listed by George Santos as his new treasurer denies being George Santos' new treasurer

 

Scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos (R-NY) suffered a fresh embarrassment on Wednesday when the man whom the New York Republican listed as his new campaign treasurer denied being Santos' new campaign treasurer.

ABC News reports that fundraising committees associated with Santos' campaign notified the Federal Elections Commission this week that veteran campaign treasurer Thomas Datwyler was now working for Santos.

However, an attorney representing Datwyler tells ABC News that he is not working for Santos and that the filings were signed under Datwyler's name without his consent.

"On Monday, we informed the Santos campaign that Mr. Datwyler would not be serving as treasurer," attorney Derek Ross explained. "It appears that there's been a disconnect between that conversation and the filings today, which we did not authorize."

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production.

Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

Serial liar George Santos is the politician Americans deserve

The congressman’s many lies are the product of a political system that incentivizes dishonesty and punishes sincerity

It’s hard to keep track of what, exactly, the newly elected Republican congressman George Santos has said about his own life. His story changes and contradicts itself; his lies seem indiscriminate, and largely ad hoc. He says he worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, which he didn’t. He said he graduated from Baruch College – he didn’t do that, either. Some of his fabrications are so trivial and specific that it’s impossible to ascribe a nefarious motive to them.

What could Santos possibly have to gain, for instance, by claiming, as he apparently did to a local Republican party leader, to have been a college volleyball champion? Others are transparently self-serving, his attempts to cover them up so brazen as to be frankly hilarious. On the campaign trail, running in the heavily Jewish third district of New York, on suburban Long Island, Santos claimed that he was “a member of the Jewish community”, and descended from Ukrainian refugees. When this turned out to be untrue, he later tried to claim that he merely meant that he was “Jew-ish”. It was like a line from Seinfeld; punning, implausible, shameless. At times like this, it’s hard to take Santos’s dishonesty seriously. It seems less like an affront to the dignity of the democratic process and more like some kind of durational satire, a piece of performance art.

But if you take his fictional biography as a whole, it’s clear that Santos was appealing to particular American longings. He was quite savvily inventing a character who would assuage the anxieties and comfort the vanities of the affluent, Republican-leaning voters in his district. On the campaign trail, Santos presented himself as the embodiment of 20th century-style American upward mobility. He claimed to be the son of Brazilian immigrants, who grew up in “abject poverty” and attended public schools before ascending to become a blue-chip financial trader and wealthy philanthropist. It’s a dream that no doubt many still want to believe in. But it should have been a red flag. Anyone who assesses America with clear eyes knows that Goldman Sachs traders don’t come, as Santos says he did, from basement apartments in Jackson Heights, Queens. They come from Dalton, Choate and Exeter.

He professed the identities that have been most easily demonized in the Republican imagination: he was supposed to be Jewish, a member of the group targeted by conspiratorial QAnon theories; he was supposed to be gay, a member of the group increasingly smeared on the right as pedophiles; he was supposed to be a Latino immigrant, a member of the group associated with dark fantasies in the white mind about demographic change and crime. But at the same time, he was a Republican, a defender of these bigotries; his membership in the very groups his party worked against seemed to absolve his voters of complicity even as they indulged their bias. The identities were not meant to be investments in the pluralism of our country, but moral shields, flimsy cover behind which attacks on those very groups could be launched....

The only question I have is ==> WHO IS THE BIGGER LIAR -- GEORGE SANTOS OR VERY WIDE ASS?

 

 

 

 

Just like our overlord President Joe Biden.   Whose Fascist Policies have divided America and impoverished many of the citizens.

I never said the lesser of two evils was a good candidate. For some reason you dont have any problem with trump's history of racism. It makes me think that racism isn't a big deal to you unless it's done by someone who shares a different political opinion than you.

Um, no, not at all. I said that Biden was a racist during the run up to the Democratic primaries. I've also said that trump is a racist. But in typical conservative fashion, you only see things in black and white, pun intended. Trump was and is a greater threat to democracy in the US than Biden, which is why I voted for Biden. None of this changes the fact that as long as you say dog whistles or outright racist shit, you can get elected by the GOP. Maybe you should get your head out of your ass so you dont get caught making these pathetic attempts at exposing some perceived hypocrisy of mine.

Blahblahblah. You said "All you have to do as a republican candidate is say bigoted shit and you'll get elected" 

The president you voted who you claim  is a racist pig is not a republican. Now you're trying to remove foot from vagina.  

Biden is a bigger threat to Americans. He abandoned them to die 2X .  

Percieved? LOL .  you're a racist pig. You hate minorities  who got out of your racist plantation and made something of themselves.  Your vagina stinks. Douche it , girl.

Trump got elected because he said racist shit. Biden got elected in spite of it. If our democracy didn't depend on Biden winning he would have lost like he did all the other times he ran for President.

Where have I said that? You voted for a guy who literally tells minorities (Americans) who disagree with him to go back to their country.
