Tonight's Best Republican-- Marjorie Traitor Greene? Or Is George Santos Already Eclipsing Her?

Today's Word: "Jew-ish"

No one wanted to accept that Marjorie Traitor Greene was known as the Blow Job Queen of Alpharetta when she was hustling customers for my gym before she discovered she was MAGA. Now that he divorce is finalized, more and more has leaked out about the “affairs” she had while she was a bored housewife and her husband was running the family business that was started by MTG’s father. Last week neo-fascist radio host— and former ally— Stew Peters told his audience that Greene is a “two-bit whore” and predicted she would “burn in hell.” MTG called him a communist; so there!

Remember when McCarthy was having an affair with then-Congresswoman Renee Ellmers? That helped derail his last try for the speakership and now there are strong rumors that he’s doing the same thing with Greene. She was supposed to give him credibility with the fascists on the fringe of the House Republican conference but that is working out poorly for both of them.

Peters slammed Traitor Greene, who’s vacationing in Costa Rica, for everything he could think of. These right-wing civil wars are the best! Yesterday, the Daily Beast’s Zachary Petrizzo reported that another former Greene ally, Arizona fascist Andy Biggs went after her as a sell-out the the far right movement in Congress. “Responding to Greene's accusation that he— along with others, including Florida Republican Matt Gaetz, are actively misleading the Republican base by voting against McCarthy— Biggs said: ‘She’s kind of crossed the Rubicon there. She’s calling us liars and saying we’re misleading.’ In an op-ed for the Daily Caller last week, Greene wrote that ‘lying to the base is a red line’ and ‘that’s what five of my closest colleagues are doing when they claim a consensus House Speaker candidate will emerge as they oppose Kevin McCarthy.’ The Daily Beast previously reported that members of the far-right have now begun turning on Greene over her vocal support for McCarthy. ‘Marjorie is NOT America First, but regrettably a faker and a liar who raised millions claiming she would impeach Biden, and now backs a man for Speaker who refuses to impeach Biden,’ far-right radio host Stew Peters told the Daily Beast.”

How awesome would it be if Traitor Greene costs McCarthy the speaker’s gavel the same way his affair with Ellmers did last time! Gym Jordan— who Gaetz is now openly backing for the Speakers job— must be frothing at the mouth by now!

And that might not even be the biggest Republican scandal of the week! After deny-deny-deny, Long Island Congressman-elect George Santos is now admitting that he made up his campaign bio and it wasn’t a socialist plot after all. He told the New York Post that he’s “not a criminal,” buy admits he never graduated from the colleges he had claimed to attend and never worked for the blue chip firms he claimed employed him. He claims all he did was “embellish” his resume. “We do stupid things in life.” He also admitted he’s Catholic and not Jewish but said he never said he was Jewish, just “Jew-ish.”

The Post further wrote that “Santos also acknowledged being a deadbeat tenant in Sunnyside, Queens, where The Times reported he was ordered by a judge to pay more than $12,000 to a former landlord who claimed non-payment of several months of rent— as well as that Santos had tried to pass a check that bounced… Asked if he ever actually paid the arrears, Santos admitted: “We didn’t pay it off. I completely forgot about it.”

Santos also admitted to lying when he claimed that he owned 13 different properties, saying he now resides at his sister’s place in Huntington but is looking to purchase his own place.

“George Santos does not own any properties,” he said.

Santos was defiant on one point— denying an allegation raised by The Times that he had an unspecified criminal charge filed against him in Brazil.

“I am not a criminal here– not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world,” Santos said. “Absolutely not. That didn’t happen.”

The incoming congressman dismissed concerns that his lies will impact his effectiveness representing New Yorkers in the lower chamber in the new year.

“I campaigned talking about the people’s concerns, not my resume,” Santos told The Post.

“I intend to deliver on the promises I made during the campaign— fighting crime, fighting to lower inflation, improving education,” he added, saying that “The people elected me to fight for them.”

…Senior House Republicans were apparently aware of the inaccuracies and embellishments in the rep-elect’s resume, and the topic became a “running joke,” multiple insiders close to House GOP leadership told The Post over the weekend.

“As far as questions about George in general, that was always something that was brought up whenever we talked about this race,” said one senior GOP leadership aide. “It was a running joke at a certain point. This is the second time he’s run and these issues we assumed would be worked out by the voters.”

By the way, he has also admitted to at least one colleague that he was born in Brazil, not New York and that he isn't an American citizen. I wonder if the higher ups at the NRCC were laughing about that too. And I wonder if they told Kevin McCarthy. Santos has been loudly and consistently advocating for McCarthy in the speaker's race. Could be a coincidence.
