To be fair, he pretty much nails it when trashing the American electorate.

He's openly gay, so no he's not a real Republican

well he was happily married to a woman until a few months before he decided to run for office so it is possible he's actually a closet heterosexual pretending to be gay for the political points it would gain in New York

I just want everyone to reflect on this and ask themselves just how much things have changed in politics in the last 10-20 years.

Pretending to be gay...to gain political points. Mindblowing.

You have to wonder why Lindsay Graham remains in the closet.

Oh...right. South Carolina.

Tulsi is also still pretty new at Fox News. They'll surely give her a Tucker/Bartiromo/Hannity style crash course on how to only ask pathetic softball questions soon enough.

Now apparently Santos claimed his mother was a victim of 9/11, even though she died in 2016

Pathological liar who will say anything to get attention. Seems pretty on-brand for the republicans

Okay I thought the 'pretending to be gay' thing was far-fetched at first, but I fully believe it's legit now.

has anybody checked if George Santos is even his real name? I'm getting strong Armin Tamzarian vibes.

Bigger question, how did his opponent and the DNC fail to uncover this during the campaign? Nobody called Goldman, the schools he claimed to graduate from or followed up on any of his claims? I heard his opponent, possibly on Pod Save, complaining that he kept reaching out to the Party because he suspected Santos was lying, but FFS, have an intern call the schools and ask if he was a student.

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi’s tax records will ever become public like this?

I realize you're trolling, but what does Trump have to do with Pelosi?

Probably if she was president and her administration conveniently "forgot" to do the audits on her required by law.

Why Pelosi? She wasn't President.

We got to see every other modern President's returns so why not Trump's? I will say I'm not entirely happy that they got released this way but it's good that the public finally gets to see them.

They really should have all elected officials but more important than tax return is to ban elected representatives and their relatives from holding anything but index funds and other non company and sector specific investments.

I think they should make a US Progress Fund that is like an index fund except it's returns are determined by how well America is doing in all kinds of metrics. Life expectancy goes up? Fund does better. More women die giving birth? Fund does worse.

Link returns to better outcomes for Americans.

Then that's the only thing elected officials can invest in.

Trump upset about the release of course, warning it's a dangerous two way street. Republicans are totally going to get Biden's tax returns and release them! Oh wait, they're already public.
