George Santos Announces Reelection Bid And Gets Snark, Not Support
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) made it official on Monday: He’s running for reelection despite previous claims that he wouldn’t.
The notoriously “truth-challenged” congressman announced the bid on Twitter, promising to ”[Take back] our country and [restore] greatness back to New York,” even though most of his constituents say they want him to resign, according to New York Magazine.
🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: I am proudly announcing my bid for re-election for #NY03. This is about TAKING BACK our country and restoring greatness back to New York.🇺🇸

Considering that Santos admitted to lying about, among other things, going to an elite New York private school, getting a master’s degree in business and working at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, it’s no wonder that many Twitter users felt the best response was mockery — full-on mockery.

The other freshmen Republican members of the New York delegation, who have called on Santos to resign, are probably not going to love this https://t.co/XckdImNcpE
