GOP Congresswoman blames Joe Biden for George Santos's lies

[Behind the Aegis]

House Republicans are either denouncing or cozying up to out Rep. George Santos (R-NY) as his entire life story has been found to be a series of lies. But one GOP lawmaker is taking a novel approach.

She’s blaming President Joe Biden.

In December, merely weeks after becoming the first out gay Republican elected to Congress, Santos’s life story came crumbling down. Multiple news reports said that there was no record of him attending the elite high school he said he attended or Baruch College and New York University, where he claimed to have gotten degrees. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs – the Wall Street banks he claimed to have worked for – had no record of his employment. Even his charity “Friends of Pets” was registered nowhere.

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said, according to Raw Story, that it’s Biden’s fault because he “sets a bad example for young people like George Santos.” Santos is 34 and his trouble with the law – at least with Brazilian law – started well before Biden’s presidency. Santos’s first, failed campaign for Congress also occurred before Biden was president.

3. I'll add these to your list

She has a strong record of immediately knee-jerk blaming Democrats for every malfeasance that the GOP was actually involved in. She's a typical GOP loon.

4. Claudia claudia clod- Your damaged ethics and morals are showing

She seems to fit right in with the party of unprincipled rule.
Her response has me wondering
what dalliance with improprieties she has flirted with...

5. She is a climate change denier, homophobe, and big fan of the Slobfather, among other things

If half of the Wikipedia info about her is accurate, she could challenge Marjorie Taylor Greene for right-wing disgustingness.

6. For the Party of Personal Responsibility

it's always somebody else's fault (Democrats) when it's their own action that got them into trouble. Straw-x and scapegoating is all they got.

7. Obviously she misspoke and meant to say Trump who has lied with impunity for years

People like Santos have certainly noticed that in recent years politicians exemplified by Trump are allowed to keep their privileges and positions despite constant lying and misrepresentation.
