The GOP May Never Rid Itself of George Santos

Philip Elliot: “Americans love a comeback story, and there will always be room on far-right platforms to reward a panderer, no matter how ridiculous the record.”

“Doubt it? A 91-times-charged ex-President who has his own tenuous relationship with reality is the far-ahead leader of the current Republican Party and, just seven weeks from the Iowa caucuses, is seemingly unreachable. If Trump can make a comeback while fighting four separate criminal cases and a raft of other legal troubles in the wings, Santos might believe he could do the same in miniature.”
