This man's depravity defined both Tangerine 1.0, and the MAGA supplicant GOP of 2018-2021.
He committed intentional fraud in his fundraising efforts, lied about his background, constantly, had used several different aliases and claimed to be "Jew-Ish". All to grab more money from unwitting donors. I am more than happy to see the end of this story -- in a federal lock up for close to eight years:
. . .George Santos became a punch line to an unfortunate joke before his career on Capitol Hill even began. In December 2022, just weeks before he was sworn in as a member of Congress, the New York Republican was exposed as a prolific liar, having created a detailed personal narrative that bore no resemblance to reality.
But it wasn’t long before Santos’ troubles grew considerably worse: The GOP politician wasn’t just a fabulist, he was also a criminal. Five months into his congressional career, the Justice Department charged the then-congressman with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. Soon after, prosecutors filed additional charges against Santos, accusing him of, among other things, identity theft and charging a supporter’s credit card and then transferring the money to his personal bank account. . . .
Excellent!
