Rep. George “Serial Liar” Santos (R-NY) made the white power
gesture (above image captured on the House floor) seen during the voting for
the new GOP Speaker and posted by the NY POST.
Santos was standing and voting for McCarthy as the new GOP House Speaker in
the very room where nearly exactly two years earlier Trump
coup supporters, many of them white supremacists, stormed the Capitol to
overturn the 2020 election in Trump’s favor in their insurrection attempt by
shattering our democracy.
Background: White supremacists began using the “OK” hand
gesture in 2017. That gesture has now been officially added to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) database for use and flashed by
hate groups since 2019.
The three fingers and circle made by the pointer and thumb
represent a “W and P” thus standing for “White Power.”
Santos did not comment on
his use of the symbol, and his team did not immediately respond to calls made
to them, either.
Santos is a serial liar being investigated by federal, state, and local authorities for misleading his
constituents, as well as allegedly falsifying his financial disclosure reports
which is a crime.
Santos hired a MAGA fixer, Viswanag “Vish” Burra, a
well- known political operative to help repair his image. However, Burra has tons of legal woes himself.
Burra also has ties to Steve Bannon and GOP failed candidate
for many offices, Carl Paladino (R-NY).
All three have now signed onto Santos’ team based on the
recommendation of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
My 2 Cents: Not much to add to this except to say the picture is worth a 1,000 words – case close.
Now if only this Trump-run GOP could find the courage to expel Santos and try to salvage what little is left to your reputation, even if that’s possible – which seems slim to none in and of itself.
Thanks for stopping by.
