George Santos used campaign funds to pay for OnlyFans, Botox, Sephora

Once again I ask, are we being punked???

I’m going to hold congressional hearings just on the OnlyFans purchases alone.

Sigh.

I'm guessing that this is his pitch to exit Congress into the well-worn next level of grift: the lucrative world of podcasts, speaking slots and backroom "political analyst" positions that seem to be out there for some of his fellows on his wing of the party.

His witchhunty etc., talking points seem awfully familiar.

But, ya know, constituents. They work and work and work some more and cant catch a break. They understand what it is to be without Botox, Hermès and Sephora, paid for by unwitting donors.

Fight on, George! The good folks of NY expect it. Fight on, son.

He really does like about everything! Back in March 2023, he claimed he just found out what OnlyFans was (eyeroll). Be sure to listen to the very end for the interviewers reaction.

George Santos mocked for claiming he didn’t know what OnlyFans was

A resurfaced clip shows George Santos denying any knowledge of the content platform OnlyFans, despite an ethics report detailing he spent campaign finance money on the platform in the months before. In the interview from 30 March 2023, Fox News anchor Lisa Montgomery asked Mr Santos if he had...

Please let the vote be in favor of expulsion. The guy is a disgrace to the office he holds and to the people he represents. Get him outta there. imo

"House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., filed a resolution Friday morning to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress."

The resolution comes a day after the committee released a scathing report that concluded there is “substantial evidence” Santos “violated federal criminal laws."

Santos appears to be an unredeemable pathological
liar and grifter without a shred of shame

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

that former president is the reason santos has gotten this far IMO. he normalized this type of behavior IMO.

I imagine he's hoping to hop aboard the Grift Train of outraged virtue via various podcasts and newsrounds in the footsteps of Bannon, RG and others.

Issues I suspect will be that his grifting is so transparently self-serving and his usefulness has passed. Maybe we see a tell-all memoir briefly trouble the surface.

But not seeing a political second act in the cards for George.

If I had to make a prediction, I think he'll he'll get into romance scams after losing office. I don't think he'll be popular for long on podcast/newscast circuit. Speculation only, opinion.
