Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) compared himself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks during a podcast interview last week, saying as “a Latino gay man” he will not “sit in the back.”
It’s a combination of Real Housewives and fascism…a reality show about a politician who is built completely from lies having catfights via interviews and video snippets.
So this week Santos is a “Latino gay guy”? Is that because his “Jew-ish” heritage claim fell flat, not to mention his claim about being a descendant of Holocaust victims (or survivors, I can’t remember). Who is he going to claim to be next week? An Asian non-binary individual?
Through their websites, Rothfeld and Coelho collect the email addresses of American conservatives and target them with paid political and marketing messages.
Con artists like Messrs. Trump and Santos are like great white sharks. As the Britannica online dictionary (https://www.britannica.com/story/do-sharks-really-die-if-they-stop-swimming) explains it, “They move or die.”. Both men have to attack, attack, attack because they realize slowing down to reflect or admit error or defeat would mean death.
The only way Santos is like Rosa Parks is if it turns out that Rosa Parks never actually took the bus, but instead had lots of shady “wealth” with which she hired limo drivers to take her everywhere. Or, she went bus-ish and bought her own private bus.
McCarthy used primary defunding as a way to get rid of GOP hot dog and current resident of Florida Madison Cawthorn. I’m pretty sure the same strategy applies to Santos, who can then move to Florida, Rio or wherever he can find better bus seating.
The GOP would be better off expelling him and taking their chances in a low turnout special election, so they can enter the 2024 general with an incumbent not named santos.
