Who is George Santos? He claims to have degrees from Baruch & NYU but nobody knows him. Update: He’s officially been ousted from congress

I get what you’re saying and I’m sympathetic to goals of the defund movement.

But optics wise, it does come across as hypocritical by arguing that an enhanced street presence of armed police is detrimental, while at the same time living in a neighborhood that pays for an additional armed presence.

That something I hope she addressed because the easy takeaway is an armed policing deterrent is positive unless you’re poor.

defund the police wasn't solely about opposing "enhanced street presence of armed police"

we're essentially employing an occupying force in our neighborhoods who are given massive budgets to buy military equipment and abuse overtime.

I don't care if Maya has security. I do care that the police budget is 15 billion dollars a year and I can get arrested or worse murdered by the police because of the color of my skin.

lot of stupid regressive conversations going on in here

My only position is the question was fair and she should be able to answer it.

The Leader reluctantly endorsed Santos’s Democratic opponent the next month. “This newspaper would like to endorse a Republican,” it wrote, but Santos “is so bizarre, unprincipled and sketchy that we cannot,” adding, “He boasts like an insecure child — but he’s most likely just a fabulist — a fake.”

He said he was from "Baltimore", it wasn't like he gave a false address or anything. And it was covered widely during the campaign to the point of being way overblown. I personally don't like him very much but I don't see how that was comparable at all.

Call it like you want dude.

answer why her neighborhood hired private security?

thats her neighbors prerogative.

unless theres proof she organized the neighborhood to hire security, its not really relevant.

Winning politicians meet voters where they are, not where they should be.

If anything, folks should be scared because this feels like a litmus test

Like the GOP and various others are poking and proding to see what kind of candidate is unassailable in terms of the things that "the left" virtue signals over

Then you plop something like him out wherever you can and watch the margins decrease bit by bit until you can do a sort of relay race hand off to whoever replaces them

You have really become a reactionary as you have aged. So weird.

He becomes an official congressman today and gets officially sworn in on the third.

I'm waiting for him to get seated. The news cycle that day will embarrass the Republicans.....then it will be business as usual

 

[hashmander]

you can't embarrass republicans. you need to have shame in order to be embarrassed.

he wants it to be similar. hey the democrats had a guy claiming the city when he's from the outskirts. that's just like making up degrees, race, 9/11 deaths, etc. same thing so leave george desantis alone.

Those investigations ain’t going anywhere and dude is guaranteed to get arrested

Even though he should get arrested, don't bet on it. The Matt Gaetz kid
trafficking investigation is entering year 4. It's nearly impossible to hold people
accountable that put an (R) after their name.

Campaign finance is easily provable.. Dude lied on his congressional paper work… he’s done
