In 2025, you'll be reporting that George Santos is claiming from prison that he is not in prison.

"It's a strange experience to find someone like that who just keeps committing to the lie." This is an important interview.

What amazes me is how easily people fell for the con...his constituents, the state GOP machine, his aides, his donors, etc.

This constituent did not fall for any of his lies! We knew he was corrupt and his finances were dodgy. My husband thinks it was a back room deal. There was almost no publicity for Dems running in the district. His opponent was less than stellar, with all due respect, but we voted for him anyway. I also was puzzled why Suozzi would run for Governor with such abysmal poll numbers. It also was revealed that some big LI Republicans knew but let Santos run anyway. Odiferous?

Great piece. Thank you for all your great reporting on this despicable creature. I hope those Dems who were afraid of setting a precedent by voting to expel Santos last time, will see the greater good (771,000 taxpayers with no real representation in the House) and vote to expel this criminal from the House!

Brazilian conning is next level of shamelessness. As a Brazilian, having come from a country where most right wingers idolize the US, which on its turn always had zero respect for our people and democracy... to have one of our low end drags con her way up to a corrupt US Senate is a bit of cosmic vengeance. More seriously, my condolences to serious Americans. This sucks.
