Santos: 'I've learned my lesson'

Santos: ‘I’ve learned my lesson’
by Lauren Sforza - 02/01/23 8:23 AM ET

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) in an interview on Tuesday said that he has learned his “lesson” after revelations that he fabricated numerous parts of his résumé and biography.

“I’ve learned my lesson and I can guarantee you that from now on anything, everything is always going to be aboveboard,” Santos said in an interview with Caitlin Sinclair on One America News.

“It’s largely always been aboveboard,” he continued. “I’m just gonna go the extra step now to double-check, cross-reference everything.”

In the interview, Santos maintained that he has “never” presented falsehoods about his personal finances. He added that he lied about his education because he believed he would be “looked down on” by other people if he did not have a diploma.

“I’ve never had to establish or present falsehoods pertaining to my own finances,” he said. “I’m the first one to say not doing that.”

Move on, folks. He just forgot to double-check his resume.

Let Rep. Santos do his important work for the American people.

And who the hell has to "double-cheek" and "cross reference" the facts of their own life?

But every once in a while I am horrified anew at the numbers of people who are willing to screw our whole country, our whole system. And for what? A chance at saying "No one is wrong unless we say he's wrong?"

This straight-faced lying, or winking acceptance of lying, by so many thousands of people is mind-numbing.

It seems like the right-wing style of Christianity is an endless fountain of redemption except if you're:

Gay (unless you're a Republican, apparently)
Transgender
POC
Poor
Ex-Criminal
Female
Liberal

Did I forget anybody?
