Let’s make it perfectly clear," he said opaquely.

George Santos’ plea in the interview with Piers Morgan that the expectations of voters and the party caused him to lie, i.e. “The Devil Made Me Do It” defense, is such BS. He is an unrepentant liar. The only honorable and decent and moral thing to do would be to resign. Santos possesses none of those traits, nor do his Repub apologists.

I just wish some NY lawyer could figure out how to make a “theft of honest services” charge stick to Santos. A simple sounding charge against a common thief would do a lot for my sanity.

So… when is he going to get charged for forging the name of the previous treasurer?

Santos’ value as a news item is (1) scorn-in-general and/or (2) desire of seeing criminal charges coming his way…

I’m thinking that Andrew Olson is to George Santos as Tony Clifton was to Andy Kaufman.

Unfortunately, neither Santos nor his apologists have any idea of what words like “honorable, decent, and moral” mean. No idea whatsoever.
