Let’s make no mistake – perhaps the most important and consequential Republican of the current era is one George Santos. AKA Anthony Devolder. AKA drag queen Kitara Ravache. He is an absolute hero, and he has done more for the cause of conservatism than a thousand GOP suits parroting Cato Institute and/or Chamber of Commerce clichés.
Sure, he has a track record of shocking scams, scores and shenanigans that would make a lesser man (assuming that’s how he’s identifying this week) blush. Not George – perhaps the greatest politician to bear that first name since the father of our country. No, in spite of his controversies and creative CV, he ran for a Democrat-leaning seat and he won. His vision and perseverance, and refusal to take “No” or “That’s a violation of federal law” for an answer, won us an extra House slot. George Santos is now 20% of the Republican majority. What makes it even sweeter is that he was running in the pompous, failing New York Times’s backyard and the tacky tabloid never figured out that this guy was a one-man crime spree. He fooled them all. Way to go, George, if that is your real name.
Naturally, the Democrats are in a tizzy over the recent revelations about his unusual past. Aided by the regime media, they are demanding that he resign his seat, which means a special election and a likely replacement by some pinko communist. A few Fredocons are joining in the chorus, but our boy George is hanging tough, to quote New Kids on the Block, of which I am pretty sure George will be shown to have once claimed to have been a founding member.
And, more importantly, Kevin McCarthy is refusing to call for him to resign. This is huge. This is momentous. This is long overdue. The Speaker is playing by the New Rules, and using them as an over-sized suppository for the Democrats.
The Old Rules were pretty clear. As a politician, you were pretty much expected to be a dishonest schmuck. You just had to portray yourself as not being one, and you had to hide your lies, dissembling, and corruption sufficiently to create an air of deniability. We all knew they were rotten. They just had to have the decency to not rub their rottenness in our faces and we could all go on pretending that the sordid business of politics was not really that sordid.
Under the Old Rules, George Santos would be hounded out of office at the first major scandal revelation. But the Old Rules have been replaced. See, the Old Rules would have required the Democrats to police their own at the cost of a short-term political loss – though not much of one, since their most vivid villains come from deep blue states that happily re-elect their own bad guys. Let’s review the rogues gallery of dirtbags whose retention led to the New Rules that keep George Santos a congressman…
There’s Dick Blumenthal, the hero of the Tet Offensive. He was never near Vietnam, but that did not stop him from preening about like a war hero. He’s from Connecticut, and the Connecticutters did not mind. Back to the Senate goes Fauxdi Murphy!
In the nearby pseudo-state of Rhode Island is Sheldon Whitehouse. He allegedly belongs to an all-white beach club. But that’s cool with his Democrat constituents. Back to the Senate he goes to pontificate about white supremacy, of which he is an expert.
Let’s go across the fruited plain to California, where Eric Swalwell allegedly bared his Fang Fangs. He’s still in Congress, though not on the Intel Committee anymore. California Senator Feinstein had a Chinese spy for a driver for two decades, but she can plead lack of intent on account of the fact that she is totally senile. It’s actually sad.
Heading back, let’s stop in Minnesota to attend Ilhan Omar’s combination wedding anniversary and family reunion. Then on to New Jersey to visit Senator Robert Menendez. You don’t even want to know what that guy is into, though the feds keep trying (not very hard) to find out.
And then back up north again to say “How” to Senate squaw Elizabeth Warren. Actually, for Massachusetts, reelecting a fake Indian is nothing. For decades they reelected Ted Kennedy and he killed a chick.
So please, tell us more about how George Santos is diminishing the awesome credibility of our Congress. Explain how his presence lessens the mighty moral firepower these solons wield. Enlighten us on why this petty chiseler and idiosyncratic LGBTQA+%^b>?]&G trendsetter – hilariously, one accusation is that he is faking being gay – is unfit to sit among the rest of the perverts, bunko artists, and fabulists in Congress. Frankly, the addition of George Santos to the 534 other legislators probably raises their average decency.
The continued presence of George Santos – I hope he serves every single day of his term and I am not ruling out strongly endorsing him for reelection – is a welcome and refreshing repudiation of the Democrats’ use of cheesy double-standard to screw over the GOP. “You have to repudiate him!” they cry. Nah, he’s a sure GOP vote. Do you think he’s going to go off the reservation – sorry Liz – and vote against the GOP that’s backing him? Ha! If Kevin McCarthy asks him to come help move his apartment, George is so in debt he’ll do it. Do they really think we will lose 20% of our majority because George Santos was naughty? Not happening.
George Santos is a potent middle finger in the face of our enemies. We are not going to apply one set of rules to ourselves that helps Democrats while the Democrats apply another set of rules to themselves that helps Democrats. The age of sap Republicans is over. And if you want to go back to the Old Rules, we’ll know it when we see Blumenthal doing the duffle bag drag and Warren walking off into the sunset down the trail of tears.
"Let those who are without sin cast the first stone"
In WW2 we gave weapons of war to our ‘ally’ Joseph Stalin.
When the going gets tough, one takes help in the form it is available.
I must admit, the “Drag Queen” bit is a very nice touch.
At first i wondered if Santos started up a massive troll campaign and surprisingly won. I was wrong, he’s just a congenital liar like Biden and Clinton. (Guess they were fruit hanging far too low for Kurt to write about)
Who can we add to the list?
I submit the new Governor of Maryland Wes Moore who became famous for writing a book about another guy names Wes Moore. In the book, Moore claims a Bronze Star which I understand is a stolen valor claim. He also claims to have been born and raised in Baltimore, not far from the criminal Wes Moore. Another lie. Of course, he’s got the correct skin tone and greasy personality, so low IQ Maryland voted for him.
I thi k he’s a DEMOCRAT!
Well then primary him out next time. Until then, he stays.
He nailed it as usual .
I don’t have a problem with him in.
Stand strong George!
If anything, let it stand as a cautionary tale for voters, who are too lazy to do any research on candidates.
Best coupla lines of the entire screed.
I didn't pay much attention to George Santos {my tolerance of politics is waning} but this is outright funny.
The guy is such a liar {like all politicians} but he doesn't care if you know he is lying.
I love it.
Kudos to McCarthy, I'm beginning to like the guy {a little}.
So we are now to believe that AKA George Santos is a liar, changeling, sex something jerk. So? And?
His presence “raises the average Bar of decency “. Likely so.
Average Americans are not in Congress. Santos still has room to grow into a deviant reprobate.
“You say that like it’s a bad thing “. Sure takes the heat and light away from Boebert and others. Compared, she’s a freaking Angel genius.
Ted Kennedy was in office for how long?
He’s Republican and conservative. Through & through. He’s what all the other’s have closeted. After years of character matters, we find that character no longer, if it ever did, matter.
Great points. Stick it to the filthy demonrats every chance you get.
Ridicule works, every time it’s tried, and our side needs to use it more.
You would be pointing out his lies, drag dressing, gay relationships all as reasons he shouldn’t be in office if he were a dem.
Character matters more now than ever.
Not a chance.
This sticks nothing to the Democrats, it just makes conservatives look like hypocrites and fools.
Greatest Schlichter column in a while! He’s got me convinced. Where do I get a “Santos ‘24” sticker?
“George Santos: He lies like a Democrat but votes like a Republican!”
