George Santos, Is This Really You?

Republicans already have a scandal and they've haven't taken charge yet.

Republican-elect is not who he says he is.

Rep-elect George Santos (R-NY) won in a relatively safe Democratic district and it appears he won on the noise of crime, inflation and being against "wokeism." The key elements to winning a Republican primary and eventually a general. Thanks to New York redistricting, Republicans have a five seat gain because of the Democrats trying to be fair. Unlike Ohio, Florida and Texas, the Democratic majority states like Illinois, California and Minnesota have independent commissions. Ohio does but the Republicans decided to go against the voters.

Nonetheless. Santos may have deceived his supporters and the voters.

I am already seeing a train wreck in the making. They complain about the junk food media always picking on them whenever they are held accountable for their actions.

Republicans think they are going to get away with governing.

Santos, who was elected last month to represent parts of Queens and Long Island beginning next year, came under fire earlier this week after a New York Times article alleged that he had fabricated parts of his résumé and biography, including his work history, educational background, business dealings, real estate holdings, and even his purported Jewish heritage.

Some alleged inconsistencies in his financial reports, which appeared to conflict with some parts of his biography, have led Democrats to demand he resign or to call for investigations into whether he violated ethics rules or campaign finance laws.

According to The Daily Beast, the congressman-elect’s deception did not stop there.

The online news website claims that it obtained court records showing Santos was the subject of a previously undisclosed divorce with a woman in Queens.

The uncontested divorce, which went through in September 2019, involved a person named “George A. Devolder Santos” and a woman named Uadla Santos Vieira Santos.

The Daily Beast claims there is only one person in the United States with that name. The news site also found a deed for a $750,000 house purchase in Union County, New Jersey, from this past June. Uadla Santos is listed as the buyer and the only purchaser listed on the property documents, which indicate she is married.

According to The Daily Beast, two weeks after the divorce was finalized, Santos filed the official paperwork to launch his 2020 congressional campaign against then-incumbent Democrat Tom Suozzi.

In that campaign — which saw Santos lose by 10 points — as well as his most recent campaign, Santos has identified himself, in interviews with U.S. and Brazilian media, as a gay man in a relationship with another man, whom he initially identified as his fiancé and whom he now calls his husband. However, The Daily Beast claims it was unable to locate any records listing the two as married. 

Additionally, Santos has claimed that his then-fiancé lost his job as a pharmacist after the couple were pictured unmasked at a crowded New Year’s Eve Party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2020. Santos also appeared to imply, but never directly stated, in a tweet, that the couple had received threats of violence that led them and their four dogs to flee their Long Island home.

A gay Republican may have fabricated his past to win. The New York Times uncovers a pattern of misleading statements and could not verify whether this guy is legitimate in his biography.
