  That's funny, he doesn't look Jew-ish
context: He's a scam artist.  How many Jewish folks voted for him because of his story?  It's not like we have access to a genetic chart to prove these things.  He has done harm to his district and to the republican party that refuses to deny him because they need his vote in a narrowly divided House.  Ugh. >
  
  Republicans lying to get elected is on brand. >
  
  Obv. McCarthy, the wannabe leader, still hasn’t said a thing about it. >
  
  He'll wait until after the vote. >
  
  So not a leader but a puppet >
  
  Yikes how much did Santos lie about? I feel like the next revelation is gonna be he's actually 3 possums in a trench coat... >
  
  That doesn't make any sense.
  Three possums would have more integrity than your average republican. >
  
  Possums eat parasites, not become them. >
  
  Yes, yes. We all made the mistake, we put the wrong em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LAB-le.
  
  It goes 'ding ding ding di di ding ding… ding ding ding di di ding ding.' That's the way theirs goes. Ours goes 'ding ding ding di di ding ding… DING… ding ding ding di di ding ding.' That little bitty change — it's not the same."

  Damn, you posted that literal seconds before someone else did. >
  
  As a child of survivors, this a kind of stolen valor. Fuck you. >
  
  "I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background, I said I was ‘Jew-ish'."
  So like, my birth mom was Jewish, and my paternal grandmother was a survivor of Buchenwald.  I still don't claim I'm Jewish.  Why?
  Because I was raised Catholic.  My grandmother was raised Lutheran, she was imprisoned because of Jewish ancestry, not because she was a practicing Jew.  My biological mom was a practicing Jew, but the last time I celebrated a Jewish holiday was when I was a toddler.  I don't even know how to spell the special food we ate (some apple thing for Passover?)
  It would be really disrespectful for me to claim to be Jewish, so I don't, even with my family history.  I don't practice the religion, I know very little about my heritage beyond what I listed here.  What I know about my grandma's ordeal was horrible, but it's still not my right to claim to have a religion I don't practice.  It's incredibly disrespectful. >
  
  Incoming congressman's claims his grandparents fled the Holocaust contradicted by genealogy records >
  
  He's definitely a special kind of asshole. >
  
  I'm really curious how this going to play out. Do people that voted for him or groups that backed him have the ability to sue the campaign or candidate for falsehoods if they knowingly lied?
  If he is pressured into resigning after he is sworn in (which is interesting) who gets to appoint him replacement until a special election occurs? >
  
  I've heard talk that McCarthy is waiting until after the Speaker vote to say anything because he doesn't want to lose his vote. >
  
  "They aren't saying 'Boo' they're saying Boo-urns!" >
  
  I was hoping someone would make this comment and I was not disappointed. >
  
  None of this matters. At the end of the day he lied and will benefit from the lies. Every conservative, Jewish or otherwise, is stopping short of demanding he step down. They’re all full of shit. They can go fuck themselves. I’m glad you got an even worse clown than you bargained for. Hopefully he does some really embarrassing shit. >
  
  This is like some sort of joke in a Mel Brooks movie. Reality has jumped the shark, I'd like to get off. >
  
  I don't think Brooks would go this far >
  
  Jew ish. Isnt this a jerry seinfeld bit? He cant even come clean without stealing jokes >
  
  It's fairly common. I was born and raised Jewish but don't practice. I identify as Jew-ish to other Jews and as Jewish towards non Jews. >
  
  Well he was born and raised catholic. He knows little about Judaism and their people. He knows popular tropes and stereotypes and says he is “Jew-‘ish’. Kind of like trump didn’t want to be a dictator like Kim Jung un he wanted to be dictator-ish. >
  
  its a common misunderstanding :-p >
  
  He meant Druish. >
  
  May the Schwartz be with him! >
  
  My moms sisters husband is Jewish. Therefore I too, am a Jew-ish >
  
  They needed a token minority, not a tokan’t. He just filled the whataboutism role the Republicans are continually casting for in vain. >
  
  Misleading title. Santos is following the GOP playbook. "I never said that, you misunderstand, it's your fault."
  
  “I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos told The New York Post, adding that his grandmother told stories about converting from Judaism. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background, I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’” >
  
  Give him the real historical, cultural experience. >
  
  Maybe he meant Abrahamic. /s >
  
  (And what about his claim of being Santa Claus?...... Sant-os Clause?)
