Reply to comment by SP919212973 in George Santos' campaign spent more than $26,000 at an Italian restaurant in Queens. That's enough to buy 1,131 orders of the rigatoni bolognese. by MrKleen10

Eh, he also kept reporting his meals as exactly $1 less than the point at which he would legally need to provide a receipt. Everything about the guy is shady AF.

There’s absolutely zero documentation in any of these links but if you have some I’d be happy to review them

How exactly would Santos have calculated the distance of an Uber trip that cost exactly $199.99?

i said it's been widely reported, you asked for a source, i provided a litany. if you want the primary documents you can go to FEC.gov and find them as easily as I can

“It’s been widely reported”

“I don’t actually have the report but it’s been widely reported”

Reminds me of a South Park episode

I don’t see an invoice or filing that shows any charge of $199, or 199.99 in your sources

…he lied. I don’t understand how you don’t understand. He lied and put these things at $199.99 because he didn’t have to provide a receipt.

That’s neat where exactly are those charges listed?

The article you sources has zero links to these reports

You wildly overestimate how invested I am in convincing a random internet stranger of something that has been…wait for it…widely reported. Have a great rest of your day.
