  A democrat couldn't get way with this. Strictly a Republican thing, the laws don't apply to them and they have no shame.
context: Man, the hits just keep coming with this guy.   He had to know this would all catch up with him eventually right? 
  But then again, he did get what he wanted.  I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in his opponent. It seems like even the most cursory opposition research would have brought most of this to light.  Who knows? Maybe it wouldn't have made a difference and he still would have won, but maybe he wouldn't have. >
  
  That’s a good point. The lack of opposition research against him during the campaign is a major failure.
  He technically didn’t break any laws, so he technically doesn’t have to resign. He’s technically a Republican, so he’s technically off the hook. 
  What a mess. >
  
  As if the justice department will hold him accountable >
  
  Oh, I know. He’ll probably be put on a financial committee and given a checkbook >
  
  
  he had described himself as “a proud American Jew” in a position paper submitted to multiple American Jewish advocacy organizations. 
  
  Obviously it’s a typo and he meant to write “a proud American, Jew” as he was addressing an audience of Jewish people. Oops, shouldn’t have this Bar Association logo here either. >
  
  He associates with others in bars.  Surely that is close enough. >
  
  I passed the BAR… “a bar” on my way here >
  
  Jew...ish >
  
  The biggest issue for me is that he claimed his grandparents escaped the Holocaust. 
  Someone can claim to be a Methodist or a Unitarian or whatever. I don't really care about that. But fuckery about genocide, adding to the hoaxer arsenal, in a Jewish district is a tad much. >
  
  That's funny -- they escaped the Holocaust because they weren't Jewish, like how my white ancestors survived slavery. >
  
  Really, my white ancestors did too. What a coincidence >
  
  Any other job, lying on your resume would get you fired. To be a Republican politician, it's required for the job.. >
  
  The first question at every public appearance from here on in should be, “Given your history, why should any of us believe anything you just said?”
  It won’t matter to his voters, but I expect it would wear on him. I know it would drive me crazy. >
  
  Side note, I made a crack on Twitter about the status of the other members of the Republican Jewish Caucus that Kevin McCarthy cited last month given the GOP’s dishonesty and knowledge of Santos lying, got a reply telling me I’m naive and that the Democrats are a wing of the same bird as the Republicans, and when I asked if they condemn Santos and the GOP, they said they condemn it no matter what party. But stayed silent after I asked what they think of Santos and the party. I am laughing a bit at just how they’re going full “what about” to deflect, and I want to see what best they can come up with, like a drinking game. >
  
  Real Lionel Hutz vibes with this guy.
  Works on contingency? No, money down! >
  
  Once you get in, you are set. Not easy to dislodge cockroaches once they get into a crack.
  See Boebert, MTG or Young Kim.... >
  
  I can’t believe he lied about the lying. >
  
  Scamming to get the Jewish vote >
  
  This man is a criminal. He stole checks from old people his mother was caring for and used them to buy himself stuff. >
  
  So ... has never been to Israel? >
  
  He was born there. Actually, he created Israel decades ago. >
  
  Wasn't he awarded medals for his heroic actions in the Six Days War? >
  
  I love the photo with the air quotes. >
  
  I vaguely remember a time when getting caught doing this would make you never show your face in public again. 
  Now? Why bother? Hell, we just had Trump’s former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who lied to us about everything under the sun for over two years, just got elected governor of Arkansas. 
  The pathological liar community doesn’t seem to be afraid to let their flag fly now.
