The Daily Beast has a story up about Tulsi Gabbard's epic takedown of fraudster George Santos as she was filling in for the Tuckster on Fox News tonight:
“If I were one of those in New York’s third district right now,” Gabbard said, “and I’m finding out all of these lies that you’ve told — not just one little lie or one little embellishment. These are blatant lies. My question is: Do you have no shame? Do you have no shame [regarding] the people you are asking to trust you to be their voice for them, their families and kids in Washington?”
Amazingly, she didn't rise to the bait when Santos tried to whatabout Biden's supposed embellishments, instead asking whether anything he is saying about himself can be trusted:
“Look, I agree with what you are saying. And as I stated, and I continue: we can debate my resume and how I worked with firms such as Goldman [Sachs] and Citigroup.”
“Is it debatable or is it just false?” Gabbard pressed.
“No, it’s not false at all. It’s debatable. I can sit down and explain to you what you can do in private equity…and we can have this discussion that’s going to go way above the American people’s head,” Santos asserted, surprising Gabbard.
“You just kind of highlighted my concern and I think the concern that people at home have. You’re saying that this discussion will go way above the heads of the American people, basically insulting their intelligence,” Gabbard said.
While I'm not going to try and embed the whole interview here (about 10 minutes in total), there is a link to it in the Daily Beast cite, and it's actually well worth viewing -- particularly if you have plenty of popcorn at hand.
I'm also starting to believe that despite all his shameless bravado, Santos might not make it to Jan 3, much less 2024. Except for MTG, there don't seem to be any other Republicans willing to support him at this point, and more than a few in New York at least who are now calling for a full investigation of all his many lies.
