Makes sense

What if he's pro-Israel?

He is. He says so in the article.

Now, whether we trust anything that comes out of his mouth is another thing.

Republicans are such a fucking joke if they let this insignificant lying shitstain keep his seat.

Not that that is anything new, but still.

This guy is literally just 2 kids in a suit standing on top of each other

He still has AIPAC.

After the shooting at Pulse nightclub this bag of shit said he lost four employees. As it turns out those four people were candidates, they were not on the payroll. This man is incapable of telling the truth, making him perfect for the political arena.

"You can't ban me, I founded the Republican Jewish Coalition!"

>"We are very disappointed in Congressman-elect Santos. He deceived us and misrepresented his heritage. In public comments and to us personally he previously claimed to be Jewish.
>
>He has begun his tenure in Congress on a very wrong note. He will not be welcome at any future RJC event."

>(https://twitter.com/RJC/status/1607767937234112518)

Carefully worded implying that he will serve in can/will serve in congress.(Not telling him to step down).

Actually a win for Santos.

Of all the things Republicans have blatantly lied about, this is where they draw the line?

He founded Israel at this point

Looking at your link, it looks like you are saying only black people have common sense. Is that what you are saying?

Shocked Pikachu face should just replace the GOP elephant at this point. They’re reaping what they sow: a parade of useful idiots.

I mean…of course they will. It’s not even a question. No shame or basic moral decency.

"Do you know how much I had to sacrifice to get here?? I almost had to sacrifice my son Isaac one time!"

Candidates?

Oh no question, he won. I mean, he got the seat..period. everyone will forget by the time the next election comes round, and he'll have a record to stand on.

It's absolutely insane. If this guy can do it, why not the ancient Greek style...pull names out of a hat.

The RJC doesn't get to override the voters' choice

At this point I'm certain he's cake.

he'd get re-elected if they did a special election because thats just how crummy the republican party is!!

Not calling for him to resign though.

For jobs.

The voters of this district must be dumb as fuck. You got what you deserve. And thanks for fucking up the House for the rest of us adults. But probably those who voted for this dumb tuck aren’t on Reddit anyway so I am pissing in the wind. But still, fuck your for wasting a House seat.

Thanks Just wanted to clarify. He was a candidate too. It means diff things in diff contexts.

Vincent Adultman?

Watch him take a DNA test, have 1% Ashkenazi DNA, then double down like Warren when she claimed to be Native American.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes… im not claiming you are Jewish if you have any Jewish DNA. It doesn’t work like that. I was just saying this lying asshole would be one of those to try to claim it.

They really can't do anything about it.

let's be real, those people don't exist, he just changed the story to "candidates" because employment is verifiable and candidacy isn't

OUT, am I?

-George Santos, probably

Yea…That’s the ticket!

smh, cancel culture at its finest /s

You are correct about the people of that district. It's mostly boomers who are oddly proud of the fact that they don't know how to use a cell phone. They wouldn't understand Reddit if you tried to explain it to them. I know because my parents live around there.

> it turns out those four people were candidates, they were not on the payroll

For the record, "it turns out" is AKA that's what he claims.

It has not been able to be validated. So I would take it with a grain of salt.

I would love to hear if people in this sub are still against voters having the right to recall an elected official.

Any reasonable political party would kick him out, but we know that’s not going to happen

imagine this amount of care or concern over some politician pretending to be protestant but actually being Catholic

I really wonder what his Grindr profile says.

An astonishing display of moral backbone by the RJC. Almost enough to make me forget about their slavish devotion to Trump. Just kidding, no it isn't.

“What? How can you do this? This is outrageous! It's unfair!”

They are definitely on this sub

He’s Jew-ish 😆 wtaf??

So he can fix the Jew-ish thing by converting and he can fix the college thing by graduating, not sure what else though.

He should be forced to resign. We can’t allow the normalization of lying to get elected.

You know NY Dem party was asleep last election when they didn’t do any fucking research on this guy. His campaign could have been fucking sunk

Some are, some aren’t .

Still pissing in the wind but I agree fuck them voters but also they voted and its their right. Not a fan of uninformed ignorant voters but I’d say most are.

Zimmerman's campaign put out the word, it's just that nobody paid attention.

First read this as "George Soros" and was like "yeah this makes sense."

Can I have a soda?

Republicans have no shame, dignity, or morals. There is no chance he's going to resign. He already said he's staying.

its weaponized everywhere its allowed to let a small angry minority remove electeds in super low turnout specials so yes, still opposed.

Jewish law actually defines what makes someone Jewish, so having Ashkenazi DNA alone isn't enough to qualify.

They can expel him.

Oh I know. Just saying I can see him doing this. I have 1.4% but would never identify as Jewish because 1) I def don’t meet the Jewish standard and 2) that would be soooo disingenuous

Well we have the rapper/actor Common Sense... but I wouldn't say he solely belongs to us either...

He's doubling down. He's claiming this will make him a better servant to the people.

If this is how low the bar has set for running for public office, I’d rather go with pulling names out of a hat. Or just run for office please, somebody!

[deleted]

Finally someone steps up in that Party, but as if George Santos was the Party’s biggest problem!

Idk who this guy is. Can someone explain what's going on? Like what did he do?

Why would he lie about his grandparents being Jewish?

Wait, what? How does he figure that?

[deleted]

> They wouldn't understand Reddit if you tried to explain it to them.

I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from learning about Reddit

Lol. Although what he did is wrong, the media is making it 100x worse because he’s a Republican. Where was the outrage when Ilhan Omar married her Brother?

>After the shooting at Pulse nightclub this bag of shit said he lost four employees.

Trump said he lost "hundreds of friends" on 9/11.

Trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral.

Their voters don't care.

Democrats are such a fucking joke if they let this insignificant lying shitstain win his seat to begin with.

If that 1% was somehow transferred entirely matrilineally wouldn't he count though?

Wouldn't whoever this guy's opponent was also be at fault for not verifying any of Santos' credentials?

Pretty sure the original NYT article said something about his campaign starting a smear campaign against his opponent because people started digging up Santos’ background and figured out he was lying. Enter smear campaign against Democratic opponent so Long Islanders get confused about what is real news and what is fabricated…. boom, GOP winner.

Also doesn’t help that Long Island is aggressive Republican. But like sure, blame Democrats for the GOP failing to share it’s due dili with constituents and protect people from unknowingly electing a liar.

edit: I said Staten Island instead of Long Island because it happens, and people couldn’t understand what I meant by just replacing a word on their own

As an actual Jew, I think we need a rebrand from Jewish to Judain. Jus, I guess… an actual Ju.

This isn’t Staten Island. It’s Long Island and a part of Queens.

However he is still welcome by the Republican Jew-ish Coalition.

So he's not "cancelled"? His bank accounts haven't been frozen? No apology tour with the rabbis? No forced donations?

Funny. Same city, different consequences. Wonder why. 🤔

The left is outraged over this yet they aren't about Elizabeth Warren claiming to be a native american.

>They wouldn't understand Reddit if you tried to explain it to them.

"Its like a news paper but with only the sections you care about and also you don't need to wait a whole day for it to update."

You do not know what you are talking about. He doesn't represent Staten Island.

Boomer response: "Except for waiting a day I already have the NY Post" Now you have to explain how an app works. It's always about going down rabit holes with them.

But you don't even need to pay for this one!

Nothing panders to boomers more than an opportunity to save a trivial amount of money.

Was it their choice? They were duped.

The customers in this case, were lied to about the product. Saying the company should recall the product, is not saying customers cant buy it a second time, if they so chose, once they have proper information on it.

Well hold on. Jewish Law determines who is Jewish hallukakly (no i cant spell yiddish words)

A Jewish mother, or conversion, is what makes someone religiously Jewish. But plenty of self identified Jews, who live Jewish lives, had a Jewish father, and never formally converted.

Now, Santos can get fucked, he's a liar.

BUT. Who is a Jew? Is not actually a question with a singular answer.

Not exactly, a Jewish mother or conversion equals Jewish, from a certain point of view.

But 1% DNA from a Catholic Mother? Not Jewish.

My bad for a typo

My sincerest apologizing for saying the wrong word. It happens. I edited it. Try reading it again and maybe you’ll get the actual point this time.

Okay, but what does the Republican Jew-ish Coalition have to say?

I accept your apology. Please be more careful in the future.

Cause everyone makes mistakes and lies a little here and there, so he's relatable! He's just like us, if you really think about it. And don't you want someone just like you, not an experienced, qualified person on the job?

Why would you reflect if you like the way things are? This is one more seat that helps Rs have a majority in the House. Let all the other members craft policy, this guy's job is to vote yes for (R) bills, and vote no for (D) bills. You don't even need a GED for that.

My characterization is of what voters are looking for. Someone to vote with their party. This is the party of voters that elected Trump, and MGT, and re-elected Boebert. Americans need to look in the mirror and realize what their country really is, and who their countrymen really are. And Santos and these other people are the reality, if he's not forced to resign.

[deleted]

I disagree it took me a long time to come on here and while there is some shit here, it's been mostly an enjoyable experience

Yeah I doubt they learned their lesson. They don't think "oh I picked a real liar and thief maybe I should consider some of my beliefs and opinions are awful and attract people like that" its more like "oh its just ONE bad guy can't be me"

He lied to get elected. What’s to say he won’t continue to lie while in office? Guess what? He will. He will be a liar and always will be.

Yup. Republicans love liars, so this will boost his popularity with his voters.

Agreed. But would they feel badly about it? I highly doubt it. Majory Taylor Greene was stripped of all committee assignments cause she's that much of a waste of space where she was deemed not fit or competent enough to do the job by her colleagues, and yet American voters went ahead and re-elected her by 170K to 88K votes anyway.

This is the reality of America.

So when the world is f’d these idiots will be to blame.

Him, his team, his campaign manager, Republicans themselves, the democratic party.

It actually speaks as a whole of today’s society and the state of our country at this moment. Its quite ridiculous actually

> Trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral.

I didn't attend my own father's funeral and we were on good terms. We had an agreement beforehand; any time/effort/money should be spent while he's alive, and none after.
