The latest George Santos shenanigans

I love this guy!

Somebody unearthed the fact that he performed in Brazil as a drag queen, and he denied it.

Needless to say, there’s always a paper trail!

He is absolutely the most entertaining story to come along in politics in years. It appears that the voters elected a completely fictional character!

In a way his lies are sheer genius, because he ran as a MAGA Republican in a Democratic-leaning district (Biden won it by seven points) and won with a brilliant strategy. Assured of all the MAGA votes, he siphoned off enough liberal votes by claiming to be a gay, Black, Jewish Latino who overcame a brain tumor, whose grandparents were holocaust survivors, and whose grandmother died on 9-11. He pretty much ticked off every concern of liberal identity politics, except that he somehow forgot to mention that he was the descendant of slaves. In essence he created a special kind of liberal Frankenstein monster – let’s call it an Al Frankenstein.

Did you see the guy Jimmy Kimmel hired to impersonate Santos? Uncanny resemblance:

  1. Nelson Franklin did a great job in this long take. Not only he’s a great comedian… he seems to be a great pickpocket too.

    1. Agreed. It’s amazing that they found a guy with perfect comic timing who also looked exactly like Santos. (Well, a taller version of Santos.) Nelson and Dan Bakkedahl were a tremendous team on Veep.

  2. Actually, he has claimed to be part-Black too. So I guess that checks off the descendent of enslaved people lol.

    1. Yup, I mentioned that he claims to be Black, as well as European, Jewish and Latino. He has claimed to have a Black father, but not all Black people are descended from slaves, so he can still call on that one when he needs it.

  3. That was pretty funny. But Santos reminds me a bit of Colin Ferguson , the LIRR shooter (from 1993). SNL had a very funny skit about his trial where he represented himself and cross examined the people he shot. But the skit barely exaggerated the stuff Ferguson was actually doing in the real trial. It is sad to say that Jimmy Kimmel barely exaggerated the crap that Santos has actually pulled. But “I am the first openly gay Jewish Republican to walk on the Moon” was brilliant.

  4. He’s the crystallization of everything the Republicans have been working toward for the past 15 years.

    1. He can actually out-bullshit Trump. I know records are made to be broken, but I thought this one would stand a lot longer. Just an optimist I guess…
