George Santos Sends Out Illegal Fundraiser Before He's Even Sworn In!

Santos is offering a Capitol tour as part of a "legally questionable" fundraising effort.

By Ed Scarce — December 31, 2022

Besides the vulgarity, there's also the small point that what Santos is doing is illegal. No one in congress is allowed to charge for Capitol tours.

“George Santos, who never misses an opportunity to violate Congressional Ethics, is charging people for touring the US Capitol and attending his Congressional swearing-in,” Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres tweeted

Public backlash is not stopping Long Island and Queens Rep.-elect George Santos from trying to milk still-loyal supporters for money when he gets sworn into office on Jan. 3.

They never did anything to him for his many illegal grifts. Why should any other Republican act differently? Time to cash in!
