Why are so many Americans continuing to be interested in the happenings of U.S. Rep. George Santos, the individual who lied his way into public office?
By all rights, it shouldn’t really matter how a piss ante politician from New York got elected. I, for instance, live far away from the Republican’s district.
But … it does matter! Why? Because this fraud is now able to propose and vote on laws that have a direct impact on you and me, regardless of whether we are his constituents.
The dude has become a laughingstock. He is the subject of hilarious social media memes and late-night comedians’ jokes. Santos lied about damn near every aspect of his professional, educational and personal life. No one on this good Earth can believe a single word that flies out of the liar’s mouth.
That’s just part of it. Now comes word that he is under investigation for defrauding charities, stealing money from GoFundMe accounts.
How does this guy govern, even if he is just one of 435 members of the House of Representatives? The answer: He cannot!
Republicans are turning on him, which is good. Democrats, for their part, cannot take this idiot seriously at any level.
He will continue to be a major-league distraction every minute he sits in Congress, drawing his six-figure salary and making policy statements that impact our lives.
Therein lies the reason for the interest in this moronic liar.
