What George Santos did was most definitely wrong but the sad thing is that the Republicans, once again, condone such dishonest behavior over the value of a congressional seat. Many of his followers have taken the words of Donald Trump to heart ... "win at all cost".
Santos is obviously NOT going to step down; he thinks "embellishing his resume", as he calls it, is ok, everybody does it. But then again, this party long left integrity behind when they chose & continued supporting Trump the past 6 years.
It's up to the Democrats & the Democrat candidate that Santos defeated, Robert Zimmerman, to make enough issue about this to fo.rce Republicans to remove Santos from his seat, otherwise this just gives Republicans yet another way to cheat their way into a congressional seat. Its become yet another 'MO' of the "use to be" Party of Lincoln.
Maybe THIS is how Democracy will fall, afterall .... by total, premeditative dishonesty. In the private sector, this kind of behavior would instantaneously cost Santo his job, but not in the public political sector, its embellished and they're not the least embarrassed about it.
