George Santos Is Accused of Sexual Harassment in His Capitol Office
A prospective congressional aide has accused Representative George Santos of ethics violations and sexual harassment, according to a letter the man sent to the House Committee on Ethics and posted to Twitter on Friday.
The man, Derek Myers, briefly worked in Mr. Santos’s office before his job offer was rescinded earlier this week, according to the letter.
Mr. Myers said in the letter that he was alone with Mr. Santos in his office on Jan. 25 when the congressman asked him whether he had a profile on Grindr, a popular gay dating app. Then, he said, Mr. Santos invited him to karaoke and touched his groin, assuring him that his husband was out of town.
Already? How stupid IS this guy? He is under investigation for many, many, things and he does something like this in his first few weeks in office? How quickly the Democrats would have removed him from office if he happened to be in the other party? He'd be out already!
Dude sees that Republicans get away with fucking everything and probably realizes that in his position, he can do the same now. Why else would a gay man even run Republican? He knows damn well the Dems would have booted his ass out before he even set foot in his office. The GOP welcomed him with open arms.
Probably the same reason Trump switched to the GOP. Their base is notoriously undereducated and pliable. If you want to be powerful and escape all accountability, you run as a Republican.
How dare you accuse an astronaut, elf, and professor of patent law of such things? He didn't die on the shores of Tripoli to be slandered! An 11 time US Open (combined golf and tennis) champion deserves better!
In the UK any one of the things he has been accused of would be enough for him to be forced to resign... Because the political parties would not want to be associated with it. Why do the GOP want to be associated with it? They're the party of "power at all costs" and that's how we ended up with Trump, a broken supreme court, and now this conman in Congress.
George Santos Accused of Sexual Harassment by Former Volunteer
U.S. Representative George Santos has been accused of sexual harassment by a man who spent a week volunteering in his congressional office in January, while hoping for a permanent job.
Derek Myers, a former journalist, claimed Santos groped his groin without consent and invited him round as Santos' husband was out of town, on January 25, when he was "alone with the Congressman in his personal office."
Santos has become the absolute poster child for Republican hypocrisy. No matter what he does now, or did in the past, McCarthy will close both eyes just so he can look in the mirror, hold up the gavel and call himself Speaker of the House.
The saddest part is - pretty much the rest of the country knows he is Speaker in name only. He has no freedom to even have his own opinion (as Trump most recently reminded him of), leave alone make any legislative decisions. And for this, McCarthy enables someone as corrupt as Santos to remain in the House, doing who knows what kind of damage to the country.
How sad it must be to be so desperate.
George Santos is useful to the republicans:
It draws attention from the performance or lack of performance from the speaker of the house
It draws attention from other republicans & there prior or current scandals ; it relies on the fact that people are drawn to newer information and larger controversies instead of prior events
George Santos is essentially the class clown distracting the teacher while the other students steal lunch money and break the rules.
So long as George Santos exists in the house ; the speaker of the house is shielded from attention to his mismanagement & other committe chairmen such as Jim Jordan
George Santos Reportedly Hires Lawyer Convicted of Brazilian Gang Killing
The Brazilian lawyer that out Republican Rep. George Santos of New York has selected to defend him against fraud charges in the country was reportedly convicted and incarcerated for his involvement in a gang execution.
Jonymar Vasconcelos, 47, received an 18-year sentence in 2007 over the shooting death of a mechanic Aristeu Vieira de Mattos in 2004, according to São Paulo newspaper Folha.
Can’t this guy do anything like a normal person?
