George Santos told Brazilian media that he survived an assassination attempt, MSNBC reports

that this fact-free colostomy brain used to watch a lot of Bill O'Reilly?

He missed his calling. With creativity like this he should be in the arts. Not the Congress.

If there's an advantageous angle anywhere, he'll exploit it.

he'll just go type one up himself.

This jackass is in charge of making laws for our country?

Rachel Maddow shares exclusive video from Republican Rep. George Santos recording an interview with Brazilian podcast Rádio Novelo Apresenta in which he describes being the subject of an assassination attempt and a mugging, and explains his disdain for lying, at least in the context of immigration. - Aired on 01/23/2023.

Fights for truth (?), justice (?), and the American way (???????????????????)

Definitely a one man manipulator of media perception. It's almost as if he is an AI generated character in a dystopian game.

I suppose this could have a kernel of truth, at least by his perception:

He might consider a simple jostle or shove on the subway to be an attempted mugging or getting his finger slammed in a cab door an assassination attempt.

Right? I mean we are talking George Santos here.

I say he's a liar for hire.

Whether created out of thin air or grandly modified from something that actually does happen, something is getting traction for him.

A DU'er today posted something that crossed my mind a few weeks ago: Maybe he's actually pranking folks? For whatever reason, he may be pulling off some monster Jon Lovitz/Andy Kaufman stunt. Punking the public because of some reward somewhere? Keeping the spotlight off the House and its intentions?

Or maybe he can't help himself because of some disorder, in which case he needs to be evaluated and treated.

More likely IMO, he's found a way in his life to defraud people and until now has been successful by flying below the radar and out of the spotlight.

I gotta say I'm just throwing spitballs because I've never seen anything like this unless they're nuts or comedians.

I think we're all throwing spitballs. But here's the thing. We really have seen this before -- look at the groomed delusions that trumcult carry, that FL man himself carries around.

It's collective insanity, and there's no mass therapy for it, just arresting what's criminal, correcting the public's perceptions of these people, and inviting everyone who's sane to get on with the future.

Reminding people to give up this bullshit cover for politics, and help our descendants have a livable future.

makes them look better? I'd say no. To them he's just a tool.

We all have our role in life.

Thank God Santos was unharmed

You should be for not expelling this idiot from your party.

eventually kevins useful idiot will stop being useful

his life actually in some danger might be the first honest thing he said

"Stone claimed it was the second attempt on his life in the past six months. Stone previously claimed he was poisoned with polonium and became ill but recovered."

Birds of a feather.

What amazes me is that a majority in his district voted him in just because he's Republican without even thinking about what a dirtbag he actually is.

If your house is vandalized and you arrive home AFTER the crime, how do you know it was because of your political beliefs? Burglars don't usually leave behind a written motive, do they?

These Republicans are perpetual victims.

in his own mind. Alternative facts are the norm for today's GOP

Nobody held a gun to his head and told him to lie.

I think the way to get him kicked out of the House is to demand that he prove that he's really "George Santos." The voters of New York elected "George Santos" and there's no proof that it's his real name. He should at least show his U.S. Passport (a current one) and prove that he's a US citizen and that's his real name.

The first clue: he probably can't do it.
