New GOP Congressman's entire resume is faked

Recommended Posts

“Here’s an idea about what to do with fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).

Rather than seek an American solution to the immigration and fraud problems he is alleged to have created, an alternative may lay in the courts of Brazil, where he is wanted on criminal charges for theft.

President Biden could ask his friend, President Lula, to request that Santos, under a U.S.-Brazil treaty, be extradited to Brazil. Once the inevitable court challenges here have been set aside he would be escorted to a plane headed for that nation.

This would not remove Santos from the House, as Democrats and Long Island Republicans both want, but it would keep him off the House floor for a while, perhaps for the rest of his term.”

Regarding Anna Paulina Luna. I mean, she out-and-out admits that fakery is her brand. And apparently had a third last name, Gamberzky, besides "Luna"  and "Mayerhofer."

In a 2017 interview with Canadian lifestyle and culture magazine Skyn, Luna — who at the time went by her married name, Gamberzky — described her biggest revelation in appearing before the camera:

“I’m able to take on different personalities depending on what image I am going for. I think getting into character of what you are selling is super important.”

Meh, that one's a stretch for me. She was at that time a model, being interviewed by a style magazine, talking about posing for pictures.  Getting in to character IS super important.

This new batch of politicians reminds me of aspiring WWE wrestlers.  It doesn't really matter who you really are or where you came from.  Pick a persona that you think will resonate, choose heel or hero, settle in on some tag lines and one liners for the camera, and generate as much attention as you can early(good or bad).

Any chance this guy goes R. Budd Dwyer?

Nope.  This isn't some dude that got caught doing something that he's ashamed of.  This is a full-on pathological liar/grifter who just so happened to hit his ceiling.  Had he aimed a little lower, maybe a state-level office instead of the US Congress, he might very well have flown under the radar.

Dwyer had shame.  This guy doesn't.

The problem is that Americans have become so desensitized to politicians lying.   It just doesn't matter.

They have, but I think that the vast majority of people say fuck this dude and he should be gone -- especially his constituents. But it seems that without Republican votes, they can't kick him out of office. 

So the problem really seems to be that 1) the public won't hold those covering for him accountable and 2) the Republican party once again puts party over country.

I don’t blame regular people for this bc I see it as an institutional failure. The people aren’t why he still has a job, it’s Congressional Republicans who refuse to hold him accountable.

This guy now leads the most punchable face race.

 

Also, I don't know the rules of the House, but I hope he stays in the House at least until the next election. Keep him in the news. Make the republicans fucking squirm and weasel for as long as possible. Call out Mccarthy every possible time about why the R's won't kick this POS out.

Might need a second thread for another new GOP rep, Anna Paulina Luna.

Alleged statements/actions called into question

  • said she's Jewish.  she's not. In fact her grandfather was a Nazi soldier in WW2.
  • Only recently took her grandmother's last name. Born with a last name of Mayerhofer. Went by her married name of Gamberzky. Switched to Luna in 2019.
  • victim of a home invasion that no one else recalls, including the police
  • Consistently documented her ethnicity as White, not Hispanic. Until she got interested in running for office. Now she's Hispanic.

Yeah, that would be truly devastating for them. Think how hard their voters would have to shrug their shoulders before concluding, "He's still better than a Democrat."

Did the Amish guy freak out when the dude from CNN showed him a smartphone?

No, but it makes for a good image, doesn’t it?

Actually, Amish people use cell phones. I don’t know how they charge them, but they don’t have a problem with battery powered devices. I guess AC bad, DC good. This guy ran a dairy farm and CNN showed him using those automated milkers. I didn’t know they were doing that. I’ve never been on an Amish dairy farm before but when I was a kid my Amish babysitter’s family milked their cows by hand. But I guess when they’re running a business then using electric power to run a milker or a band saw is okay.

ANCHOR GAY CHAIN MIGRATION!!!

Quote

 

George Santos Married a Brazilian Woman. House Is Asked to Find Out Why.
A letter to ethics watchdogs in the House of Representatives questioned if Mr. Santos’s seven-year marriage was a scheme to aid a woman’s immigration bid.

When Representative George Santos of New York was 24, he did something that many millions of people do each year: He got married.

That marriage, to a Brazilian woman, would last seven years. In that time, Mr. Santos began to lay the groundwork for a largely fictional life story, moving back and forth between New York and Florida, working sporadic jobs that he later falsely inflated into a successful Wall Street career, and navigating a handful of evictions. He would also date men — even proposing to one in 2014.

By 2019, Mr. Santos was divorced, not long before he launched his first congressional campaign. But the old relationship drew new scrutiny on Wednesday, via a letter filed with ethics watchdogs in the House of Representatives requesting an investigation into whether Mr. Santos has violated federal immigration laws.

The request was made by Malcolm Lazin, an L.G.B.T.Q. rights activist and former federal prosecutor, to the House Ethics Committee and Office of Congressional Ethics. It is the latest in a torrent of scrutiny of Mr. Santos, who made history as the first openly gay non-incumbent Republican to be elected to Congress.

Mr. Lazin does not claim to have any firsthand knowledge or clear evidence that Mr. Santos’s marriage was a sham, instead appending a series of details from news reports that suggest that the couple lived separate lives, including the fact that Mr. Santos dated men during his marriage.

During the marriage, Mr. Santos’s wife obtained citizenship through her husband, a United States citizen. Immigration officials have given no indication that the marriage raised any red flags.

Mr. Santos’s lawyer, Joe Murray, declined to comment.

Mr. Santos, a Republican who represents parts of Long Island and Queens, is currently facing multiple inquiries over lies about his background during his two runs for office, his personal financial disclosures, and questionable patterns in his campaign’s fund-raising and spending.

The House Ethics Committee, a bipartisan group of representatives, has already been asked to look at Mr. Santos’s financial disclosures and potential ethics violations related to his short time in office. Mr. Santos has said he would cooperate with the committee’s investigation.

In an interview in December with the political publication City & State, Mr. Santos suggested that he was not openly gay when he first married. “I did marry young, and I married a young woman at the time, and we pretty much were in love,” he said.

But, he continued, the relationship ended after he decided to come out. “I set myself free and I set her free,” he said, adding that the split had been somewhat contentious and preceded a long period before his divorce. He is now in a committed relationship with a man.

Still, friends, former roommates and co-workers said in interviews that Mr. Santos identified as gay for his entire adult life and that he was dating men during the period in which he was married to his ex-wife.

One of those men, Pedro Vilarva, recalled that Mr. Santos had proposed to him in 2014. He said that the couple lived together for several months but separated after Mr. Vilarva discovered that Mr. Santos was wanted by Brazilian authorities for check fraud.

The marriage became a source of tension for Mr. Santos during his recent congressional run. Mr. Santos did not disclose the marriage to people working on his campaign, they said, until an internal vulnerability study commissioned by the campaign identified it as a potential issue for voters.

A copy of the study reviewed by The New York Times called the marriage “questionable,” pointing to the fact that Mr. Santos dated men while he was married.

Mr. Santos has been an outspoken critic of illegal immigration, though he has at times supported giving permanent residency to those who came to the United States as children under the D.A.C.A. program.

Public records obtained by the nonprofit group Reclaim the Records indicate that Mr. Santos was married in 2012 in Manhattan. But in May 2013, court records show, one of the parties moved to dissolve the marriage, though the effort was dropped in December of that year.

In March 2014, Mr. Santos filed a family-based immigration petition for his wife on the basis of their marriage, according to an official timeline of their case shared with The Times. The petition was approved in July, and she was granted conditional permanent residence. Such an approval is typically considered an official acknowledgment that the relationship is valid, and is based on interviews, documents, such as a marriage license, bills and other proof of cohabitation and wedding photographs.

In July 2016, after the required two years had passed, Mr. Santos’s wife filed a form with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to remove conditions. The request was approved in October 2017, and the ex-wife became a legal permanent resident. In August 2022, she became a United States citizen, according to the timeline.

In October 2022, she filed a petition to sponsor her new husband, who is also Brazilian, for a green card, according to the timeline. That matter is pending.

If officials were to find that Mr. Santos entered into the marriage in order to obtain citizenship for his wife he could face up to five years in prison, and his former wife could be deported.

Attempts to reach Mr. Santos’s ex-wife in New Jersey have been unsuccessful, and divorce cases in New York are sealed.

There is no indication that authorities noted anything out of the ordinary about Mr. Santos’s marriage during their initial review.

Mr. Lazin, who leads the Equality Forum, said that he filed the complaint in his personal capacity, after consulting with an immigration lawyer. He served as a federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania in the 1970s and later ran a state commission investigating organized crime.

In the letter, Mr. Lazin wrote that Mr. Santos planned a party to celebrate his engagement to Mr. Vilarva while still married, as reported by The Daily Beast, and offered to marry another man to help him get a green card, as reported by ABC News. He requested that the House review Mr. Santos’s representations to authorities to assess whether he made false statements, a crime under federal law.

It was not immediately clear whether the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent body that reviews allegations against House members, or the bipartisan Committee on Ethics would investigate Mr. Santos’s marriage. A spokesman for the office declined to comment, as did a committee spokesman.

George lashed out today against fellow New York congressman Ritchie Torres, who faced some angry constituents at a recent Town Hall meeting.

OK, but this was yesterday...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/george-santos-office-protest-congress-b2283131.html

Quote

Around 25 residents visited his district office in Douglaston, Queens, and asked to speak with the congressman. The protesters were turned away by a member of his staff, who said Mr Santos was in the building but would not speak to a “mob”.

“It’s incredibly cowardly to hide behind his staff. It’s part of his job to meet with us,” Emily Raphael, who was at the protest, told The Independent.

“He’s trying to paint us as some wild-eyed protesters. You could not find a less threatening group of people if you tried,” she said, adding that it was “mostly PTA moms in attendance.”
