Rep. George Santos credits lying for getting Nassau County GOP nomination for Congress

[RandySF]

NEW YORK -- Congressman George Santos said he, "would have never gotten the nomination from the Nassau County GOP" if he had not lied about his college education, but otherwise maintained he did not run "a campaign of deceit and deception," in a Newsmax interview Thursday night.

"I would have never gotten the nomination from the Nassau County GOP if I had not concluded college. That was really the main driver, because of the way of the nature of their politics over there. It's just plain and simple, right. So I made that bad decision," Santos said.

"To say I deceived, and there was a campaign of deceit and deception, is just not fair. That's just the political spin that the Nassau County GOP wants to create on this narrative. As you know, New York politics, it's pretty simple. The party bosses run the narrative and everyone follow suit and this is what's going on at the moment," he said.

"Here's the reality. I'm human and I've made mistakes. I've made peace with those mistakes, and I've come clean on those mistakes," Santos said in the interview.

1. Wow

What a psycho.

2. The ends ALWAYS justify the means with these psychos

3. "Coming clean"

Does not mean finally admitting it weeks after it shows up in print.

4. I lied to deceive people but to say I deceived people is not fair. Alrighty then.

He has made peace with his deception.

Like it troubled him at all to lie.

They made me lie because otherwise I would have never gotten the nomination.

Guess his being unqualified wasn't an issue.

He's got nerve.

5. The biggest problem is that he appears to be a psychopath

He doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong, and he doesn't feel any shame whatsoever. That makes him dangerous, and that's the part that continues to be missed by everyone covering this story. I would feel extremely uncomfortable working side by side with an untreated psycho. Any information he gets his hands on will be potentially compromised.

6. No, you deceived the republican chair of Nassau County and the committeesq

that make the slate of candidates for the primary.

That is unforgiveable.

7. What the hell does "concluded...

…college” mean?

8. Kick

9. Where did his campaign $ come from? We know he's a liar. He blames everyone else

for his problems and that he wants to be perceived as a victim

We get he is a liar. What Santos is doing is further distracting from the bigger issue:

Who funded his campaign? WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM?

11. Nothing like softball questions from a friendly propaganda mill like Newsmax

So, Honorable Mr. Santos, tell the world why you are great and how the evil liberal media is ruining your sleep at night with these vicious attacks on your fine upstanding character because you are a loyal, Trump supporting conservative Republican?
