Republican congressman and pathological liar George Santos, R-N.Y., has been caught reimbursing himself to the tune of $85,000.

Santos’ campaign reported a $179,000 haul in the most recent fiscal quarter. The money came from roughly 180 donors around the country, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The New York Post has more:
The candidate previously reported loaning himself $700,000 to his 2022 congressional effort, filings show.
Many of Santos’ donors had Asian or Chinese surnames.
The congressman has been a vocal supporter of Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui — who was arrested as part of an alleged billion-dollar fraud scheme in March.
“I support him because he is not a talker,” one donor told The Daily Beast. “He did what he promised. He said he will propose a #FreeMilesGuo bill, he actually did it.”
Santos, 34, was recently indicted on fraud and money laundering charges. If convicted, he faces the possibility of decades in prison.

PUT HIS ASS IN A CELL AND THROW AWAY THE KEYS. HERE IS ANOTHER WINO RINO LIVING OFF THE MONEY OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND FILLING HIS COFFERS FOR A RETIREMENT THAT HE DOES NOT DESERVE.

BIDEN HAS TAKEN ALL THE GRAFT HE COULD GET AWAY WITH SO NOW OTHERS FEEL THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO ALSO AS LONG AS NOTHING HAPPENS TO THEM. WAKE UP AMERICA,WE NEED TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Get rid of the resident for the same reason and we will get rid of George…… but until that happens , George stays.
Don’t care if they’re GOP or Democrat…if they’re sleezy, they gotta pay the piper!
Surely Santos knows that only Democrats can accept bribery monies and take payment from the Chinese to influence policy, regulations and law….why would he a GOP member take the risk of being charge criminally…..or maybe he is a secret Democrat?
I see the Repubs ONLY as the party of the lesser of two evils with only about 5% trying to represent their constituents. The rest are in it ONLY for themselves.
Looking at Houck’s writing here shows he’s full of allegations with no factual conclusions, stirring up a lynch mob following, quoting sources that are based in progressive circles. His aim is to have any reader become biased against George Santos. He buries the support from Free Miles Guo supporters below accusation after accusation seemingly written by a group of CCP drones.
I don’t know Santos and don’t care to know him. But I see con artist reporters stirring up some unintelligent readers who follow without questioning, and so further a culture of unthinking superficial expression.
