New scam: John Roberts (yes, that guy) sent me an email beginning, "Dear Unpaid Beneficiary, This is to inform you that in the course of my investigation as director of the payment verification / implementation committee I came across your name as an unpaid fund beneficiary..." — PolitiTweet.org

@evefairbanks @washingtonpost I am, of course, ludicrously late to this. But kudos for the unbelievably graceful way that you responded to a quite positive, but partly mixed, review. And, yes, I now plan to read the book. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay, it's late and it's the end of a holiday weekend. But I am waiting for the two biggest scandals in the New York area to intersect: The lies of George Santos and the MRIs of Carlos Correa. — PolitiTweet.org

@lrozen I'm not a legal expert. But I think this is a tad more serious than resume inflation by someone who the "elite" New York Times looks down on. I wasn't fully prepared for him being as swarmy as he is. — PolitiTweet.org

I watched the first four minutes of this new interview with George Santos with my skin crawling. When I got to the self-serving explanation "poor use of words" for this flagrant lies, I gave up. Here's the link for those brave enough to go longer: https://t.co/N7QLIJORys — PolitiTweet.org

@RatioedAgain Now it is possible that Santos found a lot of quarters under the cushions of his sofa. Or frugally brought his lunch from home every day. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenLevy The "Jew-ish" stuff is awful. But to get rid of Santos, the key thing is that the seemingly bogus $705,00 self-funding is the sort of thing that the Justice Department aggressively prosecutes. — PolitiTweet.org

@ForwardCarolina The lies about the Holocaust are just weird and cringe-worthy lies. But illegal campaign contributions or the equivalent are the stuff that leads to Justice Department prosecutions. — PolitiTweet.org

@EBOlady It isn't campaign debt. He either loaned or gave his campaign $705,000 in cash. That is, according to his FEC reports. — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, Open Secrets has Santos contributing $705,000 to his 2022 campaign. If it wasn't his money, we are talking about major, major campaign law violations https://t.co/fyYSduvDyv — PolitiTweet.org

Key point of Santos story: "He did not address how his wealth has skyrocketed in the past several years to enable him to lend hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaign." Where did he get $705,000? https://t.co/RoshP4yiTM — PolitiTweet.org

A major rule of crisis p-r is never repeat the charge in your response. But George Santos said, “I am not a criminal...This [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.” https://t.co/DGVNwlUq1n — PolitiTweet.org
