  The district he won was a D+10 district in New York City.  The reason he won is because he was able to attract voters from multiple demographics who believed his rhetoric that he was a gay, Jewish, Latino with a great college education who was an investment banker who wanted to bridge the ideological divide.
  He packaged a lie and managed to keep people from discovering it until he was already elected.

  Santos now says that he’s “clearly Catholic,” but claimed his grandmother told stories about being Jewish and later converting to Catholicism. “I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos said. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was `Jew-ish.'” >

  If there is a single shred of decency left in our society this asshole will be forced to quit. >
  
  What makes you think they wouldn't turn around and re-elect him in the special election? He's proven himself to be a pathological liar incapable of shame or decency, that's literally what conservatives clamor for.
