On top of everything that has spilled out — actually, gushed out — regarding New York Republican Rep. George Santos, there’s this little tidbit: Republican officials were aware as far back as fall 2021 that he
was a serial liar and fraudster. But Santos, 34, resisted warnings that
he would embarrass himself and the party if he didn’t withdraw. Miscalculations abounded by both parties amid assumptions that the
Santos problem would die as the scandals surfaced. But they didn’t.
Then, to the shock and surprise of all involved, he won on Nov. 8.
The New York Times this week explained the long series of investigative failures that allowed Santos to slip through the cracks. Those failures included lapses by journalists whose job is to check the backgrounds of
the candidates they cover. There were even warnings that someone in
Santos’ campaign had impersonated now-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's
chief of staff while soliciting campaign donations. McCarthy told CNN on Tuesday that he had “always had a few questions” about Santos’ suspicious background.
Yet now that it’s time for McCarthy to punish Santos, the speaker has
opted to look the other way. In 2021, 11 Republicans joined Democrats in revoking the committee assignments of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene,
R-Ga., to hold her accountable for antisemitic and other offensive
remarks. But Santos so far has escaped so much as a wrist slap. He fraudulently claimed academic degrees and employment by blue-chip Wall
Street firms. He is wanted in his native Brazil for check fraud and
theft. He misrepresented his religion and falsely claimed to be a
descendant of Holocaust survivors. Campaign finance irregularities abound.
Voters of his Long Island district have spoken, McCarthy says, and if
they don’t want Santos, they can vote him out in 2024. At least with Greene, voters knew what they were getting — Jewish space lasers and
all. With Santos, voters were defrauded from Day One. A Long Island newspaper, the North Shore Leader, actually raised big questions about Santos’ integrity back in September, but its reporting garnered little
or no attention, nor did its limited circulation reach enough local
voters to impact the election.On top of everything that has spilled out

"George Santos Claims Someone Tried to Murder Him and That His Shoes
Were Stolen off His Feet on Fifth Avenue"
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/george-santos-claims-someone-tried-to-murder-him-and-that-his-shoes-were-stolen-off-his-feet-on-fifth-avenue/
George reminds me of a homeless woman I knew. She was a paranoid schizophrenic. She had gone to the police to report being drugged and
raped so often that they would not even talk to her. Who's going to
believe Santos if something actually happens to him?

I doubt that even McCarthy or the rest of the magarats believe him. They just don't care. They need every vote they can get for their prolonged temper tantrum. Who Knows? They might even change their
tune--after he's arrested.
