[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

[KS Toronado]

[Demovictory9]

17. Amazing

[JHB]

24. My guess is a deep-fake

[Ziggysmom]

4. Funniest thing I've seen all day! Even the GQP clown posse is ignoring him?

[jcgoldie]

5. well in his defense...

No-one was sitting with Kevin McCarthy either. Dead people stink.

[sheshe2]

6. That is hilarious.

[niyad]

7. Isn't it still Rep.-elect, as he has not been sworn in?

[ShazzieB]

11. Yes, that is correct.

[doc03]

[Cha]

10. oh god!

[calimary]

12. Well done!

And that's how you're likely to stay til you're shown the door, dude. Hopefully sooner than later.

14. What has happened to the nation where such an obvious fraud

can be elected to Congress from New York State?

How the hell could this occur?

We hold each vote precious on the margin given polarization and how close the divide (tightened by gerrymandering already).

Why didn't local NYers say something at DU?

How the hell did this occur so silently until grabbed now by corporate media?

Beaucoup crisis's, crimes, war, and natural disasters are pending.

The GOP is funding and backing certifiable insanity because others make money and secure power and position with their vote and inside knowledge.

Santos and his ilk are not funny, they are bought and undermining the nation. Who owns Santos?

[GoodRaisin]

20. We live in an ocean of lies. Santos personifies the Republican Party and those who keep them

in office.

21. Looks like Santos will represent parts of Westchester & Nassau Counties...they are Not part of NYC..

I don't know who on DU is from either of those areas.

Brooklynite is (was) in Brooklyn, I'm in The Bronx, and there are some more NYC'rs but I don't know where they are. One miiiight be a Manhattanite but I'm not sure.

So it was our of our pervue.

[JHB]

25. No part of Westchester

NY 3rd has a small part of northeast Queens, all of northern Nassau, and a chunk of northwestern Suffolk.

[electric_blue68]

27. Oh, ooops! TY for correction. See I thought I'd seen Queens mentioned...

and it was in the post I deleted - when I double-checked AND didn't find the tiny part of Queens on the second checking!

As for Westchester - they're lucky then in that way. 😄

[Genki Hikari]

29. It wasn't silent

The Democrats (DCCC & candidate included) and a local, small-town newspaper sounded the alarm. It was the GQP and the big NYC papers who ignored it.

Because it behooved them to do so.

[bringthePaine]

15. ah, sure you have a true gift there!🤣

[electric_blue68]

18. Bwaaaaahaahhaaaaaaaa! 😄

[orleans]

22. one of the news channels i was watching

showed a couple moments of him sitting in the back, no one next to him

and I HATE TO SAY THIS

but i felt sorry for him -- he looked so sad -- all alone, isolated, awkwardly uncomfortable

on one hand i'm like: he's SUCH an asshole -- i hope he gets removed or shunned for the next two years

on the other hand: that's sad

on the another hand: better not isolate the weirdo too much; they took down the metal detectors today and he's probably crazy enuf to bring in a gun and shoot the place up

i almost didn't post this b/c i'm saying i felt sorry for him

but, you know, that's the thing about liberals -- we can empathize and have compassion (even when the person is a total douchebag)

[C0RI0LANUS]

23. Sad and Amusing

The video is well done and makes light of a serious problem. US taxpayers are funding his salary for the next two years while he foments chaos in Congress. I wonder how he will safely receive his instructions from the Kremlin? Mr Santos is another headache for the US Counterintelligence community.

26. Fall down funny

[Emile]

28. He looks like a post turtle.
