Next he'll claim he said he's Santos Claus, not Santa Claus.

I'm the king of all the Russias. I'm just being a little Tsarcastic-ish!

I would be happy to drink a toast with him - then bag his glass for fingerprint and DNA analysis.

Is the real treasure of George Santos's lies the George Santos-es we met along the way?

George Santos is an energy field. He is dance. He is a feeling... That feeling, specifically, of dread, when you realise you really, really, really have to go, and the only bathroom close enough is at that terrifying one at a rural service station they only clean once per geological era...

(He’s certainly not just another hopelessly and obviously financially compromised pawn of the same old villains keep minting these figures like they’re cranking them out with some automated press or something tho. What ever would make you imagine such a thing?)

Relationship "got a little toxic" is a massive tell to journalists. Find the ex-wife. She has a lot of dirt to dish.

I am not a criminal,” Santos said at one point during his exclusive interview. “This [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success.

Of course it won't. You're a Republican.

You know who else claimed they were not a crook?

If Santos' family came from Portugal, he most likely has some distant Jewish ancestry. The Jews of Portugal were trapped there in 1497 and forcibly baptized. A few, like my ancestors, managed to escape to freedom in Holland, but most didn't. Most Portugese living today, and a lot of Brazilians, are descended from those Anusim ("The Forced Ones"). That said, a lot of assholes on both the Right and the Left pull up some hypothetical Jewish great-great-grandmother to prove that they couldn't possibly be antisemites (see: Yabadabadoopolous, Milo, and Corbyn, Jeremy).

How is the reporter 'unattractive ' if it was a phone interview?This is the wrong thread but it's the one my tablet is showing me.

The jew-ish thing is just A+ republican piss, and shoving that "we" in "we do stupid things in life", magnificent. I'll go ahead and say it, odds he'll be Desantis' VP nominee? Excellent or absolutely stacked?!

I apologize for telling everyone Salma Hayek is madly in love with me and says I’m the handsomest fellow she ever laid eyes on. That was a poor choice of words that were stated badly.
