A PAC associated with Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy sent money to help the campaign effort of George Devolder-Santos, the New York Republican congressman-elect who is generating controversy for lying to portray himself as a Jewish financier in his campaign.
Republican Congressman-elect George Santos from New York is under fire for lying about his past, including allegedly making up a college degree for himself from Baruch College, a work history for himself at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and also pretending to be Jewish. The Santos campaign website said that his family “fled Jewish persecution in Europe…” Santos later stated, “I never claimed to be Jewish. I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’”
Santos also reportedly may have covered up his marriage to a woman, which he allegedly ended right before he ran for office as an open gay man.
The scandal applies pressure to embattled Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, who is facing fierce opposition from Andy Biggs in the race for House Speaker in the incoming Republican majority. As of press time, McCarthy has still not commented on the Santos situation. Democrats are targeting McCarthy for his silence and piling on with calls for the House to hold a vote to potentially expel Santos from Congress.
Take Back the House PAC, a political action committee that is routinely reported as being Kevin McCarthy’s PAC or being either “connected to” Kevin McCarthy or outright led by Kevin McCarthy, provided money to Santos’ campaign effort in the amount of $53,904

This is just the national Democrat machine, together with its Media, trying to peel off another Pubbie US House seat.
Is that the same PAC that got money from the crypto kid?
Maybe he did it for the jokes.
Perhaps we should get a fainting couch for Patrick Howley.
Just remind every Democrat and reporter of Blumenthal’s stolen valor, Ted Kennedy killing a woman, Joe Biden plagiarizing speeches, etc.
I’m not sure...
SO WHAT the Dems are LYING, CHEATING SCUM, YET we are supposed to go on being pillars of virtue SCREW THAT, he stays where he is!!
GOP PAC sent money to a GOP candidate’s campaign shocker!
Now he’s pretending to be Catholic? The guy is just a liar in general. I hope they succeed in unseating him.
Did they use any of Kevin’s dirty FTX money to do it?
My friend is asking for me
“The Santos campaign website said that his family “fled Jewish persecution in Europe…” Santos later stated, “I never claimed to be Jewish.”
Probably a lot of non-Jews fled the Nazis, even when the Nazis claimed to just be looking for Jews.
Let's stop pretending he has done anything wrong here. He's joining a group of people who generally comprise the biggest bunch of crooked @ssholes in the U.S. There's nothing that should disqualify him from taking his place among them.
“None of this Santos business would be a problem if he was a Democrat.”
Exactly. The biggest liar in now in the White House. Plenty of them in Congress with the likes of Adam Schiff.
Santos played by the SAME RULES as Democrats and WON. He stays! He just proved to Republicans HOW TO WIN!!
Long past time for Republicans to play to WIN. Sometimes, playing dirty is acceptable.
WHO THE F CARES?!!!! When our borders are being EFFIN INVADED! Yes I’m freaking mad…it’s happening in real time in my town! There are children sleeping under blankets on the sidewalks freezing to death while our bastard liar in chief is basking overseas in a nice warm beach front! I hate those bastards hate them! This should not be happening. Children should not be suffering because of our vegetable in chief opening up the freaking border and they’re all coming in by the thousands in freezing temperatures. Ugh!!! 😡
The L—d despises liars and so should we.
He’s yet another gutter rat. Yes he’s trying to join a set of other gutter rats. The best case scenario is that they all get zapped by lighting.
That’s not likely to happen so if any of one them gets zapped then that’s good.
