George Santos serves up fresh batch of BS alongside official reelection bid

Ah, freshman New York Rep. George Santos. A riddle inside in a mystery wrapped in a sumptuous fur opera cape he peeled off a cocaine bear with his fingernails. Yeah, that guy’s back in the news. He announced on Monday that he’ll be seeking reelection. No lie. And just as his past becomes shrouded in still more uncertainty and garden-variety weirdness.

While outrageous lying has become de rigueur in GOP-land, usually those lies take the form of “we’re trying to help regular working people pay their bills” or “that guy who literally tried to end American democracy isn’t so terrible, really.” Santos’ lies are far more entertaining, if disturbing. Like, you’ll be minding your own business and, boom, you get a Google news alert about Santos claiming he’s an extradimensional time lord who invented edible cargo shorts and ghee.

So which barmy bit do you want to hear first? How about the one where a guy who possibly doesn’t exist filed a potentially phony campaign finance report?
