This is so fracking wild.
I don't understand how this guy ran twice and never got any scrutiny at all. Was it complacency that a Republican wouldn't win? No one paying attention to this area of the country (which is in the largest media market in the country)?
According to his opponent, the media wasn't interested.
Aside from the media, who obviously dropped the ball, do parties not vet their candidates?!
No. Because they're chosen through popular primaries. The most a party can realistically do is refuse to support its candidate.
It is the opposing parties that dropped the ball. How difficult would it have been for them to discover and expose these discrepancies? Campaigns research their opponents, don't they?Quote:

George Santos inspired no shortage of suspicion during his 2022 campaign, including in the upper echelons of his own party, yet many Republicans looked the other way.
