I’m especially moved by Santos’ use of “disingenuous” and “fiduciaries.”
Bold, brother, bold.

This piece touches on a question we've had since George Santos' various schemes first landed on our radar, and that we still don't have a clear answer for: Did Santos intend to win? Or did he win by accident after a New York court redrew the state's congressional districts?
