    Santos, who was a representative-elect at the time, described the alleged abuse that he and his husband faced in the U.S.

    I'm not sure his husband did either

    I'm betting that by setting the record straight he's walking a crooked line (unlike Johnny Cash).

    I really don't get why this guy is even worthy of conversation. Dumbasses elected the dumbass. They can clear it all up in 2 years he won't be anything other than a lame duck.

    He isn't worth discussion----the rinos who allow him to hang around to offer a programed vote are. They disgrace themselves more every day.

    Added in edit:

    Also today, Representative George Santos (R-NY) revised his financial reports to say that a $500,000 loan to his campaign did not, in fact, come from his personal funds. Nor did a $125,000 loan that had also previously been attributed to him, according to the new filings. But while that new paperwork said Santos did not, in fact, put up the money, it didn’t say where the funds did come from.
    Santos’s troubles are pulling in Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the powerful lawmaker who backed Santos during the campaign. Donors told Pamela Brown and Gregory Krieg of CNN that they supported the unknown Santos because of Stefanik’s endorsement and now feel betrayed. Santos’s extraordinary lies taint the Republicans as a whole in New York, while the conference’s determination to stand behind him to keep his vote in House speaker Kevin McCarthy’s weak majority ties the party to power rather than principle.

    Politics is about power. The Republican party has no franchise on that.

    I'm assuming his party or a gov entity will pursue and look at the monetary source.
