Santos’s Lies Were Known to Some Well-Connected Republicans (Published 2023)

Fawking ridiculous

But in each case, rather than denounce Mr. Santos publicly, the Republicans looked the other way. They neglected to get the attention of more powerful leaders or to piece together shards of doubt about him, and allowed him to run unopposed in the 2022 primary. Some assumed that Mr. Santos’s falsehoods were garden variety political embellishments; others thought Democrats would do their dirty work for them and Mr. Santos would be exposed in the heat of a general election campaign.

But Democrats struggled to do so. In 2020, the party incumbent, Tom Suozzi, dismissed Mr. Santos as a nonviable threat, and conducted no opposition research at all while cruising to victory. When Democrats did vet him two years later, they failed to find some of the most egregious fabrications that prompted members of Mr. Santos’s campaign team to quit.

Democrats then labored unsuccessfully to convince the news media, which had been weakened by years of staff cuts and consumed by higher-profile races, to dig into the troubling leads they did unearth.

How is someone so mired in scandal, so goddamn smug?
He's been in Congress for a week and I already hate him more than
folks that been in there for years.

This piece of shyt is like a Veep character come to life. Satire is becoming reality.

 

[Pressure]

He's a laughing stock, but have you seen the other members in the Republican party?

Like I said we're in the Jerry Springer era of politics where the candidates are straight from the Jerry Springer show

Political polarization is high. Folks seems to be unwilling to accept that also means liberal and moderate voters are also holding their lines

He’s been drinking that Trump juice and thinks he’s Teflon since he’s in congress. But he will learn very soon. Walls are closing from all sides.

Because, and we can keep it funky, he is a Republican. Anyone who pays any amount of attention knows they have goals and principles come very far down the list. He apparently is a life long piece of shyt and had the biggest con in years work. Its doubly impressive being that Trump is non-stop conning. Santos/whatever his name is knows he can do or say whatever and the party is more interested in his vote than anything else.
