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?

Right-Wing Websites Connected to Former Trump Lawyer Are Scamming Loyal Followers With Phony Celebrity Pitches (msn.com)
With names like Liberal Hack Watch, DC Dirt Sheet and DC Swamp Tales, most sites in the Saber/Digital Media Communications network publish content with a pro-Trump bent. Four other sites produce Christian content or travel and lifestyle advice for conservatives.

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.

Your typical narcissistic Republican whining “It’s all about me!”

Tie this self centered snot to every Republican officeholder and let him sink their House majority.

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.
