Tweet from.Santos:
I was elected to serve the people of #NY03 not the party & politicians, I remain committed to doing that and regret to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office to deliver results to keep our community safe and lower the cost of living.
I will NOT resign!
I will NOT resign!
Response from Nichols:
*You* were not elected, a package of lies that you created was elected. We can blame your opponent, the state GOP, and the lack of a vigorous local press, but the person that was presented to the voters and elected in NY3 does not actually exist.

(3,976 posts)2. I've asked this question on numerous platforms and no one knows or cares about the answer:
Is Santos a US citizen? If not, then he is illegitimate and Qevin doesn't have the votes.

(21,405 posts)3. I have also asked,
Birth certificate and passport. If he is a US citizen he needed a passport to work in Brazil.
Nobody seems to give a shit about checking whether he is a citizen or not.

That would definitely give them some more ammunition to try out!

even after being found out. What an ass. How is this fraudster allowed to serve? Oh, wait, he's a repuke.

That's a peculiar, incongruous phrase though for him who makes it up as he goes, probably normal. It's like saying "to strive for world peace and school supplies for every student." Odd.
