George Santos Explains Why He’s Raised $0 for Return Congressional Bid
Disgraced former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) reported raising a stunning zero dollars in the first quarter of the year as he attempts to run against his nemesis, Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY)—and explained away the goose egg as an intentional decision to stop people from thinking he’s a grifter.
People have a variety of reasons to think Santos' bid against LaLota is unserious. He’s an admitted liar who was indicted on 23 federal counts, who announced his return bid for Congress during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last month while wearing bedazzled shoes and a bedazzled collared shirt.
And he is not running as a Republican, rather he is running as an independent and is attempting to get on the general election ballot.
