They thought he was making history so they didn’t check his history.
Him divorcing a woman a couple of weeks before running as "openly gay" is surprising and not. >

In 2022, Gay Republicans are lying, closeted straight men??
...Is that progress?? >


Republicans are lying

As always. No matter the subject. >

He also may be on the run from prosecutors in Brazil >

Or on Bolsonaro's payroll... >

I’m going with possibly a Russian spy. Mainly because of the incompetence in lieing about his resume. >

Was this guy primaried? Did the GOP vet this guy at all? >

Considering the other candidates they had running, probably no vetting was done. 
Just look at all the skeletons that came out on Hershel Walker during his campaign. >

As this has been breaking since the NYT article on monday it looks like both parties vetted him and caught some of the hijinks but there aren't clear answers as to how this Clown Farm happened, yet.
Edit: A small local paper was all over this, including feeling the need to mention Brazil has no extradition treaty, for reasons. >

We can choose to help them out and send without a treaty though, right? For friendship? >

On the treaty? I think it's blanket coverage but there might be exceptions? Iirc Snowden was supposed to land their initially. >

I wonder how Santos feels right now. Is he panicking? Is he reassured this will all be fine? Is he humiliated? Cocky? >

Tweeting 'I'll get back to you next week with a new set of lies'. >

Figures the liar is still on Twitter. 
The nerve of this guy. >

Is vetting not a thing anymore? >

Did he tell the truth about anything? >

Did his opponent do 0 oppo research? >

There was a report earlier this week that the DCCC actually did basic oppo research but couldn’t get the news media to report it as they apparently didn’t take time to do their due diligence before reporting. In fact, one news org said they wanted to endorse the Republican, but they suspected this guy was a ‘serial fabulist.’ 
This a good example of why reported cuts to newsroom budgets and staff should concern us all. >

Link? In NY here that sounds familiar af. >

Question: Aside from how obviously appalling this is, are there allegations of an actual crime here? If so, what crimes, specifically, might he have run afoul of?
I get so tired of sifting through clickbait about how someone is being "investigated" or "looked into". I don't want to get any hopes up. >

He may be running a fake charity if that helps. And he somehow went from too poor to pay rent to being the landlord of several properties in an insane timeframe. And he's got a criminal record in Brazil. Oh and he may have lied on electoral documents, which if true, Letitia James will fry his balls. >

Newsday really fucked up here. Shame on them for not doing research on this guy. >

I am just so worried his inaccuracies (lies) are because of the Hunter Biden laptop or the buttery males Clinton sent. Damned democrats.
