Yes, George Santos Is the Most Vile Person Ever to Occupy a Seat in the U.S. Congress, But ….
…Listen very closely: no one cares.
From this: According to reporting from Bloomberg, George Santos told potential donors that he had been a producer for the Broadway musical, “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” However, he was not involved with the production at all, according to the show’s lead producer.
Seriously, we simply don’t care. Not when we have a former president who did everything he could to overthrow our government in a attempted coup, and somewhere near half of us have essentially no appetite for bringing him to justice.
This is particularly egregious given that:
Our Department of Justice has more than enough evidence to sentence you or me to hundreds of years in prison if either of us had committed that crime, and hasn’t taken any action against him at all, and
He’s very likely to be re-elected in 2024, and take our country to a place where dozens of fascist countries are today, with autocratic regimes led by cruel dictators who have dissenters arrested and tortured.
Again, about half the nation views Trump as a national hero.
