Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped into Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) over his embellishments and fabrications about his background, asking him point-blank, “Do you have no shame?”
“If I were one of those in New York’s 3rd District right now, now that the election is over, and I’m finding out all of these lies that you’ve told, not just one little lie or one little embellishment — these are blatant lies — my question is, do you have no shame?” Gabbard asked while filling in for Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview with Santos on Tuesday evening. “Do you have no shame? And the people who are now, you’re asking to trust you to go and be their voice for them, their families and their kids in Washington?”
“Tulsi, I can say the same thing about the Democrats,” Santos responded. “Look at Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for 40 years. He’s the president of the United States. Democrats resoundingly support him. Do they have no shame?”
Gabbard interjected, saying that her question was not about the Democrats.
Santos has emerged from days of silence following reports from The New York Times and other outlets this month that revealed misrepresentations, fabrications and lies about his personal background.

He did get elected. Not very honest, but I’ll reserve judgment until I see how he votes. If he votes for conservative policies, no one will care in six months.
WHATABOUTISM makes me disgusted.
We used to have vetting procedures in the old GOP. Now anyone can be elected. Lying about acceptance to Navy Academy, graduating from University when no record of attending, DUIs, husband arrested for exposing to minors, paying for multiple abortions and lying about it. Becoming good liars every bit as good as the scumbag Democrats who have run such filth for office for ages.
George Santos needs to refine his approach. He should own his lies about his background as little different from how other politicians get elected but honest in his intent to show the utter fraud of identity politics. He should then promise to be scrupulously honest, hardworking, and public spirited in office, unlike so many other politicians.
.
And this story is all over the wires. The Media is writing and reverberating this story, but they completely censor the stories where Joe claimed he was a coal miner, or a truck driver, or when he tells black crowds he grew up in the black community,
People suck up and swallow what the TV tells them, and the TV tells them to be outraged at this low level Politician, but think of Joe like a Royal.

Santos chose Truth over Facts!

“if that’s her real name”
Ilhan Said Nur is her real name, apparently.
right off the bat Rs should now state in exhange for 100% agreement on what is voted on we will give you some cover. Dems have raised this practice to a science- ends justify the means at this time
democrats like tulsi hate it when you uae their techniques like lying to get elected.
I saw this. I thought she was playing for the cameras.
The interview got much better as it went along.
The puke Rep showed himself to be completely untrustworthy. Kind of like Chucky Schumer. Or Rmoney.
I don’t care if he has an (R) after his name. He doesn’t belong in congress.
He should say, "I'll step down the minute biden, blumenthatl and pocahontas step down for lying about their resumes. Get back to me once they do."
This guy is Alinsky-ing leftists back.
GO GUY!
Don’t care.
Trolling.
Following Biden’s example.
Has Tulsi ever asked Brandon that question?
Never mind, I already know the answer.
Normal people with even minimal standards of conduct have no interest in running for Congress.
I’m rooting for this guy. I hope he shows up in Congress next month dressed like a Hasidic Jew.
“This shows that she’s still basically a lying POS.”
Not necessarily. But she wasn’t looking to create a moral equivalency here. She was looking for an answer. Look at John Freaking Kerry with Vietnam. Biden is a plagiarist, Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, Obama..... the Senator from Connecticut, Mass, and on and on and on.
Santos is a lying POS, but hey. That’s normal for American politicians.
The RAT snipers in the banana republic mainstream RAT “media” have begun trying to pick off Republicans for their fag massahs one at a time. The “media” is loaded with human debris and scum. If Santos was a RAT, this would be no big deal.
