Reply to comment by Backseat_boss in George Santos — who is Catholic — insists he used to say he was 'Jew-ish' as a party joke. Now he says he's taken 4 DNA tests to prove his maternal grandparents are actually Jewish. by Grass8989

He won’t because the media wants to keep talking about him. He’s not the villain, the news media is. It’s no way in hell he should be spoken about in the news, that shit has no importance to our everyday lives whatsoever.

He's a congressman who represents NY. So it's completely wrong to say he doesn't have an impact on your life.

He's ridiculous but that doesn't make him scary. He's at best mentally ill at worst u hinged.

There should absolutely be a spotlight on him because it's clear he has no shame or qualms about being unethical.

Are we going to blame mental illness at every wrong decision a person makes? How about the focus be on the many genuine Veterans who have served this beautiful nation and they are left without the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter, and, more importantly, their area of mental stability? This man manipulated the system, and those who should have known better allowed him to reach that far. I am just tired of seeing our children working hard and following the law while those in leadership continue to cheat their way. PLUS, the media covers all sorts of rubbish.

Yeah you’re right, he has a negative impact on our everyday life. No politician is in office to help people, they are there for their own good. Why should it be a spotlight on that when everyone knows it’s all bullshit in that arena. In my 39 years I haven’t seen one congressman, assemblyman, any kind of political figure do anything that helped people where I come from so please, be careful before you start telling people what they should do or say. You could’ve said that one to yourself in your head buddy.

So just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Are you saying that since all politicians are shady we should NOT bring any public attention to their shady actions?

The media is the villain for reporting on a Congress person who fictionalized essentially their entire life in order to get elected?

Santos is a piece of shit and deserves to be grilled as hard as he is being grilled in the spotlight. He brought it on himself.

Some of the lies he told in regard to 911 and his supposed Jewish heritage are just gross and honestly alarming.

I’ll enjoy my popcorn as the media continues to grill him, as they should. He’s proof that we’re not vetting our politicians in any significant way.
