And the local papers. Long Island is within the the area of interest of the New York Times.
Dems apparently saw irregularities but didn’t think he would win and didn’t really push it or keep digging. In a tightly contested congressional election where every seat counted for control of the house, that’s insane.

Yeah, this is a way to turn a solid, reliably Democratic voter bloc into single issue voters. 70% of American Jews have friends or relatives in Israel, it's not a great look when the left continually empathizes with the democratically elected government who's stated goal is to ethnically cleanse their friends and family.

As careful as Jewish people are about their heritage and religion the fact that no one bothered to check anything is very troubling indeed.

The guy doesn’t know anything about being Jewish, no need to go that deep about his roots, if you are Jewish someone is bound to vouch for you, so what happened? Not victim blaming, he lied so how do prevent this from happening again? It’s a question worth answering without the need to say someone is to blame other than the liar.

The issue was that in Europe you could tell a Jewish person apart because they looked different and had a different name from other Europeans. It wasn’t 100% but you could fairly readily tell. They clearly had little difficulty rounding up Jews based on their ethnicity, including Jews that had converted or where non practicing, and killing them en masse so your thesis and Whoopi’s thesis don’t hold.
Making fun of in a culturally insensitive way Islam isn’t racist, it’s bigoted but context and subject material matter. Making fun of Christianity can be bigoted too, context matters. You can also criticize anyone, and you won’t get social backlash if you do so sensitively, factually and supportively rather than bashing and belittling.

Hmmm... A member of Congress makes $174k a year?
That does it! I'm throwing my hat into the ring! I'm going to run as a black, conservative, Christian Republican in 2024! (SPOILER ALERT: I'm as white as paste)
Seems like they are real loosey-goosey with the background checks. Plus, members of Congress get some SWEET deals on healthcare.

Being Jewish is an ethno-religion. It’s not proselytized and the conversion process takes years. Genetically, Jews are a distinct ethnicity.
What he did was exploitive. Like if I had a darker complexion and told my mostly Latino district I was Hispanic, but I wasn’t.

It's not a normal job. Who would fire him? Who is his employer?
If it's the Republican Party, the party wants to fill that office with someone who will vote along party lines and they don't care if that's a tree stump named Fibber McDuplicitous. But it's not the party.
If it's the voters of his district, the Constitution provides no mechanism for voters to recall him. So it's not the voters.
It's the US House of Representatives itself, and by their rules they can't collectively get rid of a fellow representative unless 2/3 of the representatives vote to expel him. Good luck with that. Out of all the awful representatives over all the years of the United States, only five have been expelled -- and those were for treason or bribery.

So basically any person can lie and cheat their way into the position and there is no mechanism in place the efficiently expell him if the people of his district wanted to. As long as you have the support of your party you are good to go.

As long as you have the support of 145 (435/3) other members of the House, regardless of party membership, it is impossible to remove you from office.
I still wish there was some sort of background check instead of relying on investigative journalism to hold someone accountable.
Independent journalism remains the best mechanism. Government investigating government isn't going to be as reliable.
I don't know how the media and the Democrats missed this guy unless they just figured he was insignificant. (The New York Times did break the news on him, but only after the election.)

I read the other day that his opponent tried to raise questions about his story. Media outlets wouldn't run the story, and Dems didn't do anything because they didn't think it was a competitive race.
The former is a good argument against billionaires owning all our media. The latter is unfortunately an all too common mistake the Dems make (see Boebert, Lauren).

Here lies George Santos.
His career going up in flames much like his pants.
But wait, he's not a regular person. No no, he is a GOP congressman... Not only will the lies probably not hurt him, there's a nonzero chance he might even be the next speaker of the house after McCarthy finishes flaming out.
Sigh
