George Santos Seeks Campaign Donations Days After Fraud, Laundering Charges
NewsweekMAY 2023
Santos’s lies were harmless, and like all Americans he has a right to due process on the criminal charges, so there’s no reason for him to go anywhere. Santos didn’t lie any more than Biden or other politicians, but Democrats are coming after him as part of the political witch hunt that’s also led to Trump facing criminal charges.
Although Republicans are claiming they’re following due process, what they’re really doing is buying time in order to maintain their slim majority in the House. Ethics investigations are slow, and while this drags on Republicans have a better chance at sticking together with some crucial votes coming up.
