“As crazy as the world seems, and she do seem crazy, it’s comforting every so often to be reminded that actions still have consequences. And even when those consequences are awful, it’s nice to know that you weren’t crazy when you pointed out those consequences were careening down the highway toward all of us like a jackknife manure spreader. Case in point: the Republican party, which for years said nothing while the former president told over 30,000 verifiable lies. That’s 20 lies a day! I don’t always get in 20 steps a day.
So no one should be surprised when that party is the party that produces newly elected representative George Santos, the New York lawmaker whose web of lies and fictional résumé have led many of his own party to call for his resignation.
And the lies keep coming; in a recently unearthed 2020 podcast, Santos bragged about graduating from NYU with an MBA. If you want to learn more about his inspiring time in grad school, you can read his memoir, I Am Malala. Santos also said he hated ‘to see the youths today and see them sitting on their behinds and acting like, you know, ugh this is so hard.’
Yeah, you lazy youth! How many accomplishments did you make up today? One? Two? George Santos tells 10 lies before breakfast! You think it’s easy hiding checks and keeping track of which sport you pretended to play and which college you pretended to attend? No! But you gotta dig down like George did so he could make his parents proud. His sweet, sweet parents Rosa Parks and the Fiddler on the Roof.” —Stephen Colbert
