CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 28, 2022
REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT GEORGE SANTOS OF NEW YORK HAS ADMITTED LYING ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS AND SOME CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS SAY HE SHOULD RESIGN BEFORE EVEN TAKING OFFICE NEXT WEEK. SANTOS HAS ADMITTED LYING ABOUT WHERE HE WENT TO SCHOOL, HONORS HE RECEIVED, EVEN HIS MARITAL RECORD. HE WAS ONCE MARRIED TO A WOMAN AND NOW HE IS MARRIED TO A MAN. NONE OF THAT CAME OUT DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
NOT TO DEFEND ANY OF HIS BEHAVIOR, BUT IF TELLING LIES DISQUALIFIED PEOPLE FROM HOLDING OFFICE WE WOULD HAVE A MUCH SMALLER GOVERNMENT.
REMEMBER WHEN SENATOR HARRY REID LIED WHEN HE CLAIMED MITT ROMNEY DIDN’T PAY HIS TAXES? DEMOCRAT SENATOR RICHARD BLUMENTHAL OF CONNECTICUT LIED ABOUT SERVING IN VIETNAM. BILL CLINTON LIED ABOUT NEVER HAVING HAD SEX WITH MONICA LEWINSKY. AND PLENTY OF PEOPLE LIED FOR CLINTON. PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY LIE ABOUT THE BORDER BEING SECURE. DONALD TRUMP LIED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
GEORGE SANTOS PROBABLY WON’T RESIGN AND REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE CALLED FOR LYING DEMOCRATS TO QUIT, OR BE DEFEATED, ARE LIKELY TO SAY NOTHING BECAUSE THEY NEED HIS VOTE. SEE HOW THIS WORKS? IT’S JUST ONE MORE REASON NOT TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN POLITICIANS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
