George Santos may be about to become an even bigger gift to House Democrats

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

George Santos is reportedly refusing to rule out running again in 2024, after having previously reportedly promised not to run again in 2024. This is terrific news for us! In reality, I maintain that Santos will not last in congress until 2024.

But I have a strong desire to keep him in the news. Every lie Santos tells, every news cycle that Santos stars in, and every remarkably stupid comment he makes is a win for us. Why? Because the cowards on the right will not tell him to shut up. And Santos has now become one of the many lying faces of the GOP.

These faces include Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Andy Biggs. And now the face of George Santos has joined the image of the GOP. The more outlandish Santos behaves, the more he dominates yet another news cycle. He has made himself irresistible to the media — nobody can leave him alone.

And this only sharpens the message of the GOP in disarray. It is rather amusing watching Santos struggle for relevancy. I say let’s give him that by making sure ALL of his lies — and the passivity of his fellow republicans dominate and are featured in as many news cycles as possible.

In the past, Santos would have been history already. But as you know, things change. The GOP has let the cats get their tongues and have become ninnies, unable to open their mouths, let their choppers move, and actually say anything negative about a con artist like Santos. I think right now, we have Santos — and Republicans — exactly where we want them.
