George Santos scandal: Democratic predecessor calls him a ‘conman’

Biden lied about graduating in top
half of law school class..he was
76th out of 85.

Lied about his scholarship

Lied about "3 undergrad degrees"

Guess he should be removed from office.

This cannot be good for his Presidential ambitions.

At any other time in history I would be calling for him to resign. But after what we've been subjected to for the last few years I don't really care. I don't think that Santos guy has ever violated my basic human rights so I'll give him a pass.

"I'm not Jewish, I'm Jew-ish."

Lol.

Exaggerations? Every politician does that. He has a double major degree; exaggerated the size of his scholarship (he did get scholarships).

If we're going on THAT standard? May as well just spray down the whole Capitol building.


Santos lied about:
1) Going to a fancy prep school
2) Being Jewish......while saying he is "Jew-ish". As an attempt to cover up, this is pretty maniacal. He COULD have just chosen to apologize.
3) Starting a charity for pets
4) Having a job at Citibank
5) Owning rental property. Using them for political points during COVID. In fact, he'd been evicted as a renter and faced decent sized fines. In fact, he claimed to have been robbed on the way to deposting his back due rent cheques. What are the chances?
6) Going to college....AT ALL (forget scholarship, placement, and # of degrees....dude couldn't even handle going to classes)...TWO different post secs......
7) Employees died at Pulse Nightclub Shooting
8) Has tweeted 2 different deaths for his mom (9/11 and 12/2016)

What's crazy is that none of these are exaggerations. They are simply fabrications; things that did not happen at all. Except for 8. That one? Who knows now; I've never heard of somone saying the wrong anniversary of losing a parent....by 15 years..

If lying about one's group memberships and/or business and/or scholastic accomplishments is grounds for removal from office...

I've got some bad news for 20% of our legislative branch...on both side of the political fence.


Although, it does make me wonder, if the narrative is true that "nothing gives you more advantages than being a regular old boring straight white person", why do so many people desperately try to find an "other" box to check? For something that's supposed to be a "privileged class", there are quite a few people who do their best to be perceived as not being in it for some reason.

That goes for politicians and celebs/pundits alike.

This guy's trying to claim he's Jewish, Elizabeth Warren trying to convince people she's Native American...there have been more than one prominent pundits who have found to be lying about being "X%" Black (like Rachel Dolezal) and people like Shaun King who referred to himself as biracial, which led to Don Lemon having to issue this awkward segment on CNN:
LEMON: OK. Welcome back, everyone. Here’s our breaking news tonight. Shaun King, he is a leading voice for the Black Lives Matter facing some very tough questions and tonight about his own race. A family member tells CNN that both King’s parents are white. But when I asked him tonight if he is legally black or white, initially, he did not answer. But, later, he referred to himself as bi-racial. But then when I asked him if that’s what he chose on his birth certificate I did not hear back from him. No answer on that.

...or the celebs like Demi Lovato trying to check the "non-binary" box
