In a 2020 interview with the Metropolitan Republican Club, Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) provided details about his employment at an alleged “ponzi scheme.” The comments, which have received little notice, shed light on a period that is central to questions about Santos’ purported personal fortune. The interview also includes other examples of Santos’ shifting narrative and questionable backstory.
Santos isn’t just a fraud, he’s a complete pathological liar. He’s the sort of person who probably wouldn’t tell the truth even if the truth benefited him somehow.
That said, he’s pretty much what the Republican Party has become so he’ll fit right in with them. Unless he really does get charged with campaign finance fraud or some other financial crimes, he’ll probably keep his seat in Congress and he might even get reelected. Republicans have shown that they’re more than a bit tolerant of this sort of behavior within their ranks, no matter how obvious it is.
Not that it would be directly related to the run for office, but since he in fact was once a customer service rep, I wonder if it was over the phone and if so if any of the tapes (for training purposes) they make of those conversations are around still? Might be some interesting explanations about whatever the caller had an issue with.
I do see too that one thing he would bring to office is creativity even is the absence of confidence or credibility.
I’m wondering whether, in that massive Rolodex of thousands of names he claims to have, he has the contact information for any criminal defense lawyers.
OT. It appears that an important Russian general has “died” after Pootie Patootie cancelled a trip to the tank factory he oversaw.
“General Alexei Maslov, 69, passed away on December 25 in a Moscow military hospital.”
