Opinion: George Santos Should Be The New Face Of The GOP

Huff Post  

When it comes right down to it, newly elected Rep. George Santos is the perfect metaphor for today’s Republican Party. Before Walker and Donald Trump and MAGA and “stop the steal” and Jan. 6 and Marjorie Taylor Greene and QAnon and Lauren Boebert and conservatives’ fearmongering war against critical race theory and so on and so forth — before all this, Santos’ ascent to Congress would have been extraordinary. Speaking of Trump, it should surprise absolutely no one that on Jan. 6, 2021 ― just before a mob of disgruntled Republican voters, all of whom had been lied to, attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn a legitimate election ― Santos spoke at Trump’s infamous rally in Washington, D.C. Not only did Santos echo Trump’s big “stop the steal” lie, but he claimed, without evidence, that his own previous bid for Congress in 2020 was stolen from him by way of voter fraud. “If you’re from New York, you know what they did to me ― they did to me what they did to Donald J. Trump,” Santos exclaimed. When they were too busy printing 280,000 ballots ― in my district, and shipping them to Pennsylvania ― they sneaked in a few from my opponent.” So, here, Santos took Trump’s election-stealing voter fraud fantasy and embedded within it his own election-stealing voter fraud fantasy.
