He's making some salient points not mentioned here. Mainly, that Santos' lies were carefully constructed to appeal to the largest democraphics in the district he was running in. Lots of people there lost family and friends in 9/11. So he falsely claims his mother died in 9/11. Lots of Jews and Ukrainian refugees, so his grandparents were Ukrainian Jews who survived the Holocaust. Lots of people in the district work in financial services, so he claimed he worked at Goldman Sachs.
Kind of sounds like this particular pack of lies was created by committee.

yeah but you know I don't care about any of that right now?
I care about where he suddenly gained, and showed, $70 million within about...1 year after basically claiming to be a fucking Bootsblack on his 2021 1040 FFS.
that's really fucking goddamn important. And it's why this thing went into Plaid speed for Fed investigation, lol.

Although this was reported on in the summer - There seems to be all kinds of GOP election fraud going on in NY elections these days
GOP election official is arrested in upstate NY, charged with brazen ballot scheme
The Republican elections board commissioner in upstate Rensselaer County was arrested Tuesday on charges of carrying out a brazen ballot scheme that allowed him to cast votes in voters’ names…www.nydailynews.com
"The Republican elections board commissioner in Rensselaer County, N.Y., is scheduled to plead guilty after he was accused of carrying out a brazen scheme that allowed him to cast votes in other voters names"
I love how they all cheat quite loudly and without shame and then accuse their "enemy" of doing what they are doing, every fucking time, they always fucking get exposed, and yet their people don't care and vote for them anyway, and it's always so fucking close and they still win with a pack of mouth-breathing smooth-brained electors that just keep voting for the people that are very plainly doing the things that they are being Pavlonianly trained to hate.
It's fucking remarkable, and also terrifying in a way, because these people are cheerfully voting for the end of this epoch in human cultural existence, because they are angry at being so privileged to have lived as the most dominant culture ever, but somehow believe they are not for literally no reason whatsoever and have decided that just "isn't fair." And so, here we are.

microtargeting and advertising writ large, basically everything that we knew about dark money and the end of democracy with Citizens United and this fucking fascist SCOTUS that allows this complete and unmistakable, repeatedly predicted outcome of exploited laissez fair democracy.
Pretty much the true Sum of all Fears of what we always knew were the central weaknesses of our ambiguously established constitutional democracy, and this political party simply stopped giving a fuck about it, and here we are.
I mean, I can't blame them. What else do you expect simple greedy people do after being gifted an army of illiterate, fairy-tale inspired simple mobs of human fleshbags clinging to their bronze age books and murder toys to just give you all the power you needed?
It was always the plan. It's why this group was exploited so sinisterly and directly in the late 60s after mutually-agreed-upon Dem/Repub/Whig/Free Soil/Bull Moose/Whatever parties all collectively understand, for 200 fucking years of human advancement, that these people were way too fucking nuts to bring into the central pillars of any free nation's power: HUMANS ALWAYS FUCKING KNEW that FUCKING RELIGIOUS NUTCAKES were always the END OF ALL MAJOR CIVILIZATIONS, and it's why any particular religions was EXPLICITLY BANNED BY OUR FUCKING CONSTITUTION from taking power. ANY POWER. ANY FUCKING POWER and it is fucking PLAINLY WRITTEN.
Yet here we fucking are. These fucking NUTBARS shitting their fucking King JAMES fucking Bible nonsense into law, as it was never, obviously and inarguably intended. THis is why these very same people hate themselves, these fucking Christian nationalists. Their very dreams are coming real before them, and their world, just like ours, is now becoming darker because of it. And they don't understand. ...or it's really just part of it. The END that they are required to bring.
Fucking Nationalist Christian sociopaths. They will bring on the endtimes when given power, because that is what they are literally commanded to do, and the more you treat them like jokes, the more they will plot to fucking turn your house into glass. Make no fucking mistake.

that's how much he donated to himself for the campaign
He actually claimed $70 million in some "family foundation trust" that didn't exist anywhere, at all, 1 year before that.
He had a $55,000 salary in 2020 or so, twice evicted at some point within those years, no prior history of anything in terms of an actual job or any income anywhere...then "$1-5 million" salary in 2022.
Seriously. wtf? These are actual Tax claims that were submitted to the IRS.
This is why this stuff always needs to be known, instantly, of anyone that wants to try and run for public office, especially as this same fucking fascist GOP party is constantly removing the restraints from that power. It's all the same fucking thing.

Got away with what? He was always going to be sworn in and any attempts to stop that would violate the constitution.

Still not sure how anyone got away with anything - I anticipate multiple people going to prison, Santos among them.
I don't think he meant he got away with being elected unconstitutionally. He basically got away with his con/grift. Santos invented an entirely different human, and ran that human for office. Santos is just an unusually virulent example of a widespread disease.
Now, to be fair.... The issue is how do you determine why people chose who to vote for Santos. Maybe they voted for him because they thought he had a college degree. Or because his "Jew-ish" values aligned with theirs. Or maybe they voted for him because they liked his tie. Or, more likely they voted for him JUST because he was the Republican nominee. But without knowing why people voted for him, it's hard to say if it was due to all lies Santos told. And if Santos election was not due to all the lies he told then, obviously he was legitimately elected.
AND .....The people who were voting for George Santos were knowingly voting for a MAGA aligned Republican in 2022. It’s hard to imagine that they didn’t know they were voting for a serial liar, even if they weren’t aware of what specific things Santos was lying about. Anybody who objects to serial lying of this magnitude as a general principle isn’t voting for a Trump Republican.
I mean he's very likely headed to prison so I'm still struggling to understand what he got away with.

He'll be sworn in, seated, and continue his grift until his indictments/convictions.
Oh, and he's grifting off of his swearing in ceremony:

That's a campaign finance violation as well.

I noticed that he was the "amazing everything man" for the conservatives and other demographics for the area. Almost, like it was based on survey results.

That’s fine. People make “mistakes”. Doesn’t mean you get to get to be a Congressman

This.
It's not like you can say the voters were "mistaken" when they voted for him, the proper terminology is "deceived".
