George Santos made Democrats look foolish.

Politicians Lie All the Time, But Joe Biden Takes It to a New Level

It’s no secret that politicians lie, but if lying your way to office were illegal, then Joe Biden would be in jail. During the 2020 presidential election, Biden dismissed evidence of his family’s global influence-peddling scheme as Russian disinformation. He even convinced dozens of former intelligence officials to pen a letter to Politico informing the public that the allegations from the laptop were a campaign of Kremlin interference.

But on Tuesday, freshman Republican Rep. George Santos joined Biden’s chief political opponent to face charges in a New York courtroom. Santos pled not guilty to a 13-count indictment from the Department of Justice, the same department simultaneously slow-walking investigations into Biden family business practices after agents worked to suppress the laptop story.

The Two-Tiered Justice System

This is just another instance in which DOJ officials give Americans reason to believe they are subject to a two-tiered justice system. Eighty percent of Americans already believe this. Even after his election, the president hasn’t stopped lying. From weird tales of Amtrak to black church membership, The Federalist has been chronicling Biden’s made-up stories since inauguration day.

Santos’ Fabricated Resume

Santos also made it to Congress on a cascade of apparent lies. He claimed to be a descendant of Holocaust survivors, lost colleagues in the Pulse nightclub shooting, and ran an animal charity which turned out to be false. Clearly, Democrats embarrassingly messed up on opposition research. Santos flipped a competitive district that became one of few seats picked up by Republicans last year. In other words, the DNC and its affiliated campaign committees dropped the ball. The Democrats let Santos run on a fabricated resume.

Is Santos Guilty?

Federal charges unveiled against Santos include seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of stealing public funds, and two counts of false statements to Congress. Is he guilty? That’s for the judge or jury to decide. But one of the charges includes merely exaggerating income. Santos sounds like quite the criminal.

This must be the first time ever that DOJ is charging someone for exaggerating their income. Btw, has the Biden Regime conducted forensic investigation of all financial disclosure forms of all 535 Members of Congress (lots to investigate there) or just their enemies?
