The North Shore Leader had reported about George Santos FOUR months ago before any of the big papers did. That makes it BEFORE the Election Day. And the Democratic candidate still lost to Santos? What is wrong with the Democratic Party in NY State? I live in a competitive district in New York State and our Democratic candidate lost to a Republican nobody from the South. https://www.theleaderonline.com/single-post/the-leader-told-you-so-us-rep-elect-george-santos-is-a-fraud-and-wanted-criminal
@JapanProf I saw somewhere that party interns do background check on opponents routinely and compile a report. Santos's irregularities were flagged in the report but nobody in a position of authority paid attention to the report. (I can't recall where I saw this. Google is flooded with more recent articles.)
@Narako thanks a lot! That makes it even worse. The NY State Democratic Party leadership was lazy and incompetent. are lazy. Governor Hochul bears a big blame too.
