Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has another problem on his hands to go with his mounting legal woes and growing field of 2024 challengers. According to a filing his campaign submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Sunday, Santos’ election operation lost more than $75,000 over the past quarter.
Poor george. I’m so saddened by this news.
They didn’t lose it. They stole it.
Time to fire up the GoFundMe service dog scam again.
According to Bloomberg congressional reporter Steven Dennis, Santos has taken advantage of the club’s privacy to seek “solace” from the reporters who have been following him through the public areas of the House office buildings to pepper him about his various scandals.
On the rocks, presumably.
Santos also reportedly lost money in the first quarter of this year and had relatively thin fundraising in the three months that followed. This latest filing indicates his campaign has just about $22,000 on hand, an exceptionally low sum for a candidate in a competitive House seat. To make matters worse, the report said the campaign has over $750,000 in debt, including loans Santos supposedly made himself, legal expenses, and outstanding obligations to staffers and vendors that, per the filing, were “prior debt” his treasurer became “aware of” this quarter.
“Don’t worry guys. Everyone will assume these figures are lies too. We can’t lose!”
It’s awful that only wealthy people can get elected to office in this country. So, I’m sincerely unhappy that Santos even had to raise $250k, and that just so that he could qualify for a gift of more $$$ from the GOP.
Of course, none of that makes him, or his accomplice GOP treasurer, any less a crook.
I bet the reason he still spent the $800 on the D.C. Club is because it gives him access to the movers and shakers who can save him, and it stands to reason he needs opportunities to lobby them.
Has anyone checked the refunds list to see whether “Seorge Gantos” got refunded donations?
Actually, I assume someone is currently calling all the refunded donors to make sure they exist
WHO still donates to this guy’s campaign? What could donors possibly expect from him at this point?
The multi-count indictment really cramped his style.
can’t he just loan himself another $500k and then pay himself back from $$ he raises later on?
Wait… I thought Santos/ Devolder had no cash
Time for George to buy Powerball tickets!
His new drag name is Burnadebt.
Too late, someone already won the latest billion dollar jackpot. The rate that George is going winning that $20-30 million, with a payout of just over half of that isn’t going help him much.
Maybe he should try Doordash?
Well O/T but hits close to home
So can’t attend a local school event, or state fair w/o fear of some asshole firing their gun.
Santos otta know that being a politician means being hounded by the media.
He does now.
He seems to be foundering. I feel like I need to throw him an anchor.
