    Who isn't George Santos?
    Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

    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?!
    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

    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?
    Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    Consider the party he ran with. Compared to other prominent GOP members, Santos is a saint. What's pathological lying next to treason, pedophilia, human trafficking, white supremacy, Nazism, etc? He hasn't even told a lie big enough to lead to an insurrection yet.

    Santos’s Lies Were Known to Some Well-Connected Republicans

    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.

    McCarthy meanwhile, looking at his shrinking majority and continuing to question his choice to seek this position. . .
