PAC Associated with Kevin McCarthy Propped Up The Campaign of Liar George Santos
National File ^ | December 28, 2022 | by PATRICK HOWLEY

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.

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.

None of this Santos business would be a problem if he was a Democrat.
This is just the national Democrat machine, together with its Media, trying to peel off another Pubbie US House seat.

********

Exactly, but we have a puritan moronic element on our side that “jump to the media whistle.”

Some of our idiots just can’t help themselves.

Media: “Jump dumb Republicans”

Free Republic idiots: “How High?”

No wonder McCarthy has not spoken about Santos.

McCarthy is just waiting for the breeze to settle down

So were any of his lies/mis-statements germane to why he was elected, or what he was elected to do?
