  I read that in Rick Sanchez’ voice.

  But then something strange seems to have happened: he made an unlikely friend. Greene, who started her career in activism by protesting drag queens, attempted to shut down Congress twice to prevent it from passing a law banning discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, and told her followers that Democrats want to turn children gay, appears to have taken a liking to the mendacious gay Congressman-elect.
  
  Not sure that should be much of a surprise, at this point I would not be surprised to hear he's not really gay, either. >
  
  
  , at this point I would not be surprised to hear he's not really gay, either
  
  I would not be surprised to find out he's not really American,  either. >
  
  He's not, I read somewhere he is Brazilian, he does have active warrants in Brazil. There is a 7 year limit that new citizens have to wait before they can serve in the house, there have been claims that those 7 years are not met currently. Guy is a whole box of wrong, if our systems actually had integrity and justice built in he would already be gone, but nope he is being seated.
  This is where democrats constantly fail. Here sits a man so corrupt Hollywood would have a hard time spinning his story. Yet no outrage anywhere....if this guy where a democrat Republicans, ALL OF THEM, would be lock step in demanding his/her ouster or resignation. >
  
  Dems are too embarrassed to shine more light on Santos because it reveals a colossal failure on their part that they desperately don't want to discuss - with "democracy at stake", why did they do ZERO research on Santos before giving up that race? 
  What was it about that race in particular that made them feel it wasn't worth even a small investment in opposition research?
  Because they have failed to give a straight answer here and the information we are getting drip fed is making the answer why they didn't do it more embarrassing. >
  
  It’s not a fail on their part. He’s not a democratic candidate. >
  
  You missed the point entirely and really shouldn't excuse their incompetence, especially when the stakes are so high. 
  Whatever the reason was, we have no way of ensuring they don't repeat this mistake if they never take ownership of the mistake.
  Because if my assumption that they were scared off by the check boxes he listed, then the Dems need to rework their framework for deciding which house races to invest in. You can't just see that the republicans are running a gay latin jew and decide against spending even the most basic amount of money necessary. As of right now, we only have confirmation that he's Brazilian. So much confirmation that we aren't sure if he's actually allowed to be seated in congress. We now know he isn't Jewish and his sexuality is now up for debate. >
  
  Santos won that seat by 8%. 
  It’s not either parties job to vet their opponents candidates. Do opposition research? For sure. Much of the information we’re discovering now was in the opposition research (in smaller bits), but no one paid attention to it, including the media. The only reason anyone started digging further into him was because he started going to some alt-right events. 
  And if you don’t think this would have got swept under the rug by a party that has screaming fake news for the last 6 years, idk what to tell you. 
  This coming out before his race actually would have made it easier for republicans in the House to embrace him now, because they could just say his voters don’t care. But because it came out after, nobody’s sure what to do with him, which is why he’s mostly being shunned.
  I don’t think edema are embarrassed about anything regarding him right now considering he’s currently all over the news (the Daily & Today Explained this week - although now being outshined by the Speaker shenanigans), and his opponent has called for congressional probes. No one is even sure if Santos will end up on any committees since Republicans are ignoring him too. >
  
  It's not their responsibility, but ffs it would have been smart. They put up a candidate with multiple minority status', that should have been the first warning. If I understand correctly from what I've read, Long Islands politics have changed a bit in the last 6 years and I'm not sure any district is reliably Dem anymore, Trump made a big impression there. NY in general is seeing some reliable seats flip, Dems can no longer assume anything just because it's a 'Blue' state >
  
  She’s recruiting him to the sedition caucus. No, that’s not a joke. It’s literally what is happening. >
  
  He's the headline magnet right now and she wants in on that. 
  She's probably also trying to turn him into a "formerly gay" like her temporary intern, Milo Yiannopoulos. 
  She has this idea that young white men need her to save them. >
  
  Young white men are the most persecuted group in America. - MTG >
  
  Probably discussing Jew-ish space lasers. >
  
  And he is telling her about his time as a general in the rebel alliance, and leading the charge to destroy a giant space laser known as “the Death Star”. >
  
  It's a trap! >
  
  Not for him. >
  
  Is he actually gay? Since he has claimed to be so many things I can never tell if that's a joke people are making or if it's true. Haha. >
  
  Only he and his SO know for sure. And maybe his ex-wife. >
  
  Grifters gonna grift >
  
  I always thought Marjorie Taylor Greene was an actor who plays a conspiratorial sycophant.
  It's all pretend. She even breaks character when the script becomes too absurd.
  She exists merely to be a lightning rod for media controversy. She pulls all the cameras and spotlights onto herself, so her colleagues can conduct their criminal affairs under cover of darkness.
  The real Marjorie Taylor Greene behind the public character is actually a dangerous psychopath. >
  
  i’m glad i didn’t scrolled through that vid instead of sitting through 2 min of a 5 sec loop. she could be - but swinging arms really isn’t worth 2 min of anyones time and wont stand up in court. >

  When Grifters spot each other in the wild, they do the Grifter Territorial Circling ritual. Wherein they appraise if they could take the other Grifter with a low-level grift.
