Extremist George Santos is one of the most radical Republicans New York has to offer. Unfortunately for the GOP, Santos’ inability to disguise his fringe far-right antics is sabotaging Kevin McCarthy’s dream of sneaking a GOP yes-man in New York’s Third Congressional District.
With 15 days to go, let’s take a look at just a few of the alarmingly unacceptable statements and positions Santos has offered on the campaign trail:
-
Directly compared abortion to slavery – “We are going to be remembered as the most barbaric generation to ever live.”
-
Personally attended the “Stop the Steal” rally and then admitted on video to providing funds to arrested insurrectionists – “I’ve actually been working on funding a ton of them to get out… imagine breaking into your own house and being charged with trespassing.”
-
Celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and has already gone on the record to say he will vote for a national ban on abortion – “If it is set down for legislation that we’re going to ban abortion in the United States and I’m given an opportunity to vote, in that case, I will vote to support the ban of abortion in the United States.”
-
Only supports the rights of survivors of rape to undergo an abortion if they have proven police documentation – “Nowadays… you sleep with your partner you don’t like, you know you had a bad day, and you wake up pregnant, and like, ‘I was raped.’”
-
Wants to privatize Social Security, according to his own website.
-
Supported Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill and said the Left wants to “groom our children.”
DCCC Spokesperson Ian Clarke:
“George Santos’ own words are killing his hopes of limping across the finish line this November. We fully expect voters to hold him accountable for his dangerous and reprehensible comments.”
