On top of numerous investigations and historic unpopularity in his district, Santos gives Republicans yet another 2024 hurdle with his reelection announcement
As George Santos announces his wildly ignorant decision to run for reelection, voters on Long Island have already made clear that the long list of lies and investigations the disgraced and highly vulnerable Congressman will be forced to defend makes his campaign (which raised a whopping $5,300 in the last three months) a non-starter.
“George Santos’ decision to run for reelection underscores what little control the Republican Party has in one of their most vulnerable regions, after Santos has been discovered blatantly lying to voters about his life and record. Voters on Long Island are eager to vote Santos out of office and once again have a representative who looks out for their interests – not his own,” said DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre.
Here’s a brief reminder of the numerous investigations into George Santos’ lies, criminal behavior, and campaign finance violations that are keeping him busy in lieu of any real work in Congress:
The House Ethics Committee has formed a subcommittee dedicated to determining whether Santos broke campaign finance laws, violated federal conflict of interest laws, and/or engaged in alleged sexual misconduct.
REMINDER: Kevin McCarthy has said George Santos will be removed from office if the House Ethics Committee finds that he broke the law.
In New York City and on Long Island, the offices of the New York Attorney General, the Republican Nassau County District Attorney, and the Queens County District Attorney all confirmed they were looking into whether Santos broke any laws in their jurisdictions.
And Brazilian authorities revived a fraud case against Santos that led to a current deal in which Santos would formally confess to his crimes.
Don’t forget: Santos’ lies and deceitful behavior were well-known among Republican circles during the campaign, but the GOP chose to turn a blind eye rather than look out for Long Island voters.
Below is just a sampling of Santos’ seemingly endless lies and shady behavior that will help ensure Santos loses reelection:
