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.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard that a politician lied about their education and past work experience was are they finally talking about Biden?
Three degrees nope just one , top of his class nope near bottom, arrested in South Africa nope, civil rights activist nope, million mile Amtrak nope first presidential run sacked by plagiarism (my how things have changed), big rig operator, never talked to hunter about business, Bo died in Iraq….. the list is nearly endless and yet here he is president er ah potted plant resident
Where was/ is Tulsa’s outrage against xiden and his endless lies
If I were this dude I would just compare myself to Biden and say I think I have a pretty good start at a resume for president
His response was essentially the Democrats do it too. This is infantile.
Son, your curfew is 8PM. But dad, everyone else can stay out until 2AM.
“I like Santos’s response. This guy might be a winner.”
Ditto. Flaunt the fabrication. A perfect way to point out the hypocrisy of the left.
And if the GOP has any balls, they shoud agree to retain him and say loudly and often that he stays until Blumenthal, Warren, Biden, etc., are removed.
This is EXACTLY CORRECT.
We need to use him as a weapon to destroy the enemy.
What if this whole thing was a setup?
Santos files to run and makes up his resume with the full intention of trolling and mocking Biden for his lies and sweeping up the others. Then he accidentally wins the primary and then the general election.
Now, suddenly he has the national platform to make sure everyone knows about lying politicians and he gets to name names
The real question that should be being asked, IMHO, is how did this guy get away with this...
I mean, any reporter doing basic fact checking should have called him on this stuff...
The fact this guy got away from it is a symptom of the fact that reporting/news is a propaganda machine today, not in any way actual news.
No I don’t defend or support him, in any way, or his actions.. . No, I don’t buy into his attempted justification of “well look what the democrats have done” BS.
The real question, or REALIZATION, that everyone should be making is that this guy got away with this because the 4th estate are lapdogs, period.
If that was his goal, he’s done a piss poor job of it.
Hasn’t dropped one name, other than well look at democrats or look at Joe Biden.
That’s nonsense.
If this was a trolling operation, he’d have something better to say and own it and laugh and attack the media for letting him get away with it.. because that’s the real issue here...
This man ran for congress, flagrantly lied all over the place, lies that even the most basic fact checking would have caught, and NO ONE BOTHERED TO LOOK! The Media/News who like to think of themselves as some gatekeeper and defender of the truth and democracy... DID NOTHING.. they proved themselves to be what they are, a propaganda/lapdog.....
That’s the REAL scandal here.... IF his goal was to troll, he would be calling them out on it.. he’s not, he’s just playing tit for tat nonsense..
This guys a turd, period.
Wow, cam you believe it, a congressman who lies? Our government is loaded with corrupt lying politicians, ie, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, McConnell et al. to name a few.
Yeah...the guy is a lying blow-hard. I have no doubt he would be welcomed into the cult.
SO WHEN is the commander in liar going to resign too? I demand the vegetable resign for all the lies he has spewed in the faces of the American people! That piece of crap is more dangerous than santos. We should be demanding Biden resigns for all the lies he has spewed! Where is the freaking outcry on this. Tulsi is a piece of crap too she is there to do the bidding of the rats. Don’t think for one minute she is fair unbiased and on our side! Does Joe Scarborough ring a bell? Why didn’t she bring up the subject about Biden lying as well and needs to go? You guys are being given a crap sandwich ! We are living in La La Land. The rats can do no wrong, and the conservatives get crucified, nailed down and put a stone around their necks and thrown into the deepest sea yet RINOS don’t give a rats ass because they are the same swamp creatures. Where the hell is own circling the wagon people. The demonicRATS always circle the wagon of their own demons . Our team on the contrary always throw our own to the wolves. I am so sick of this double standard bullshit! This nation is about to snap.
It's not a "attempted justification". It's pointing out the glaring hypocrisy of the demonicRAT Party and Big Media. DemocRATs have been lying and cheating for decades; the Big Media are complicit in covering for them. NOW, when the blatant liar is a Republican, Big Media are suddenly all agog about the manifold horrors of lying politicians. BULLCRAP!!! They're not upset about lying politicians; Big Media are themselves liars and friends of liars. This situation gives us a huge opportunity to call them out on both their lies and their hypocrisy.
He may BE a rat! Why not take a pube seat and always vote for rat policies. The perfect ruse! Everything is on the table anymore!
That’s what the low-life libtard democrats tell me Lt. Boy are they pissed. Am I right, or am I right?
For some inexplicable reason, Sloe Joe HAS ALWAYS gotten and HUGE PASS!
He has NEVER BEEN asked the questions that any/every self-respecting newsperson should have asked!
WORST! _RESIDENT! EVER!
No it’s not, it’s just attempted justification by a lying little turd.
This guy is no grand troll pointing out the hypocrisy of the world... if he was trying to do that, he would be mocking and laughing at the media because its their failures to properly investigate him that allows this to happen.
This guys just a little slimeball, if his goal was to point out hypocrisy he would start with that... had anyone in the news media even done the most basic amount of actual journalism this guys lies would have been exposed during the campaign not after he got elected.
This guys not trying to shine light on anything, he’s just a self serving lying little con man.
If his goal was to troll and point out hypocrisy, his acceptance speech would have been coming clean and then attacking everyone who let it happen.. he didn’t.. he didn’t say a word about anything until he was forced to and now is trying to play the white knight? Get out of town, this guys just another con man...nothing more.
I'm talking about what some of We the People are doing. Join us, or join the GOPe in surrendering, again, to the lying hypocrites in the democRAT Party and Big Media.
had anyone in the news media even done the most basic amount of actual journalism
Had anyone in Big Media even done the most basic amount of actual journalism, democRAT liars from Kennedy to Biden to Pelosi to Clinton (either one) to Schiff to Omar to ... would have been exposed over and over, and they would have been hounded from office.
But they didn't. Big Media is complicit in the democRATs' lies and deceptions. Their present hyperventilating over this idiot Santos is colossal hypocrisy. Are you going to call them out on it? Are you just going to be another GOP Surrender Monkey?
Choose wisely.
“He should have just been a man”
Well, that was your first mistake...
“Santos and his husband later moved to a rowhouse in Whitestone”
“In October 2022, Santos told the media: “I am openly gay, have never had an issue with my sexual identity in the past decade”
That is an acceptable outcome
It would be nice, but the democrats elected someone this year that was obviously brain damaged. This is certainly not worse than that.
But why do politicians lie? Because deep down the voters want them to.
