Colbert uses Harvey Guillen (Guillermo from What We Do In The Shadows) and he nails it. Looks just like him, plus has top-notch comedy timing. I adore him in his role as familiar to the vampires of Staten Island.

NEW: George Santos claimed to have been a victim of an 'assassination attempt’ and had his shoes stolen off his feet in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

Santos belongs in the Guinness World Records for being the most shameless and endless liar in modern politics.

George Santos Admits 500K Personal Loan to Campaign Wasn’t ‘Personal’

https://www.thedailybeast.com/george-sa ... etter%20PM
George Santos promised reporters a surprise on Tuesday. When he brought coffee and donuts for the journalists staking out his office, it was a letdown. But Santos apparently had another surprise.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Santos’ political operation filed a flurry of amended campaign finance reports, telling the feds, among other things, that a $500,000 loan he gave to his campaign didn’t, in fact, come from his personal funds as he’d previously claimed.

However, while the newly amended filing told us where the funds did not come from, it also raised a new question—where did the money come from?

While both the old and new campaign filings claim that the loans came “from the candidate,” the campaign’s most recent amended filing had ticked the box for “personal funds of the candidate”; on the newly amended filing today, that box is unchecked.

Another amended filing on Tuesday disclosed that a $125,000 “loan from the candidate” in late October also did not come from his “personal funds,” but like the $500,000 question, did not say where the money came from, when the loan was due, or what entity, if any, backed the money.

I'm telling you, the $750k never existed. He thought he could write down that the campaign owed him money and then donors money to his campaign could go straight to his pocket. He's not smart enough to know that anyone would check, and I'm not sure he thought he was actually going to win and bring so much attention on himself.

But the $750K, that was just another grift.

Per my teammate
@cbszak
- Rep George Santos (R-NY) was asked why he’s not attending tonight’s White House event for new Members of Congress.

Santos responded: “I just didn't have the time. It was on my schedule.”

What you hypothesize sounds like a twist on Mel Brooks' The Producers, with Santos deciding he can make more money with a campaign that flopped than with a winning campaign.

The only reason he has not been kicked out of Congress yet is the GOP leader and speaker has less a backbone than a toy I once owned.

Some of the reactions of the adults are probably not much different than their reaction to the current GOP Congress.

The only cool stuff coming out of that office soon would be his ass leaving for good, never to be heard from again.

Santos probably thinks he can fool the Press and charm them to his side with his Charms and the fact he is smarter than everyone else. Which is how Pathological liars think.

Manu Raju @mkraju wrote: Rep. George Santos, in a tense exchange, would not explain to us why he amended his public filings to show that $500K from his contributions did not come from his personal funds.

“Sir -- let's make it very clear: I don't amend anything, I don't touch any of my FEC stuff, right?”

“So don't be disingenuous and report that I did because you know that every campaign hires fiduciaries,” he told me. “So, I'm not aware of that answer and we'll have an answer for the press regarding the amendments in yesterday's” filing.

He refused to explain source of money

Santos also refused to explain his comment that he survived an assasination attempt and a mugging and wouldn’t say whether he filed a police report.

Asked if he had heard from authorities in Brazil: “I have not, I have not heard from a single authority or a single investigation”

Interesting, but I think that, politically, the measure is DOA.

Legally, it may well fall afoul of the Constitution. Courts (including SCOTUS, I believe) have ruled that term limits for Senators or House members are unconsitutional, because they impose new eligibility requirements for the offices, which are not in the Constitution. The states are not allowed to add or subtract from the requirements set forth in the document.

I think it could be argued that requiring a background check, and that a candidate be free of foreign (or even domestic) warrants would be a new eligibility requirement.
