Questions Surround Congressman's Truthfulness and Future
-
Santos is a pathological liar who has fabricated many personal stories, including about his mother dying on 9/11 and his employees being killed in a shooting. His latest dubious claim is that his car was broken into.
-
Santos used the alleged car break-in to attack NYC's mayor and appeal to MAGA supporters. He lacks imagination and doesn't deserve to be a camp icon.
-
Santos represents the "sybaritic nihilism, high-kitsch absurdity and impregnable brazenness" of Trump-style Republicans. Most Republicans won't denounce him without denouncing Trump too.
-
It took 328 days and two votes to expel Santos from Congress because most Republicans voted to keep him, showing their naked lust for power over any biblical principles.
-
Unlike Trump, Santos doesn't have enough power and support to evade criminal charges. So he likely faces prison soon rather than a cushy media career.
