Lying Liar Finally Sworn In As Member Of Congress

Admitted liar George Santos was finally sworn in as a member of Congress after Kevin McCarthy limped across the finish line as the duly elected Speaker of the House late last night. Santos, who’s openly gay – although the LGBTQ community would be loath to claim him, caused a mini media moment in the final hours of voting when it appeared he flashed the White Power sign as he cast yet another vote for McCarthy. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1611581639322226689 I’m not saying if he did or didn’t. If you watch video of the moment, you can see it was very quick. Some are saying he merely held his arm in the same position it had been before he lifted his right arm. As I’ve reported previously, Santos is currently under criminal investigation in the U.S. and Brazil, and is facing growing calls for him to be barred from serving. For most of the week, Santos sat by himself on the House floor over the past several days of voting for Speaker, mainly keeping to himself. Although, after a time, he did try to sidle up to some House Republicans. As you’ll note in my lead photo, Santos did make sure to be standing next to lead disruptor Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) while taking the oath of office knowing the cameras would go to Gaetz. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1611787106518540290 In related news, the New York Post reports Santos has reportedly hired Viswanag “Vish” Burra, a MAGA world political operative tied to ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon, and businessman Carl Paladino. Burra made news on the 2022 congressional campaign trail after speaking favorably about Adolf Hitler. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1611506939669659648 https://twitter.com/liz_elkind/status/1611628335620149250
