We tousled. Again in 2021, properly earlier than George Santos graced the halls of Congress, we wrote about considered one of his earliest lies: how a lot fuel he makes use of and the way a lot he pays for it. We worry this will likely have began the entire witchhunt towards our beloved and iconic George that ultimately led to his expulsion from Congress, and we’re deeply sorry for it.
Our Editor-in-chief, Rory Carroll, has even admitted that if he knew how cool and enjoyable Attractive George could be, he by no means would have posted that story. The remainder of the employees agrees. If we might flip again time, we’d, however sadly, we’ve now bought to stay within the ruins of what we’ve achieved to the world.
Not solely was George an inspiration to liars in all places, however he was additionally lauded as a homosexual icon by many. On high of that, he was a person who wasn’t afraid to do what wanted to be achieved for his constituents in Northern Queens and western Lengthy Island. What precisely he achieved stays a thriller to me, however he introduced vibes and rizz that any citizen could be proud to have.
George additionally wasn’t afraid to lie. He was so good at it too… till we bought nosey and fucked all of it up. Why couldn’t we simply go away George alone? He had a plan for America that was greater than all of us, however we simply needed to chase these goddamn clicks. It’s terrible to consider what we’ve achieved to this as soon as proud nation.
What the Prince of Lengthy Island will do subsequent is anybody’s guess. Maybe a actuality TV present, maybe jail time, maybe a return to his drag queen roots. If he might discover it in his coronary heart to forgive us, George has a house right here at Jalopnik. We can’t pay him, however he could be nice as an official mascot, wouldn’t he? He type of matches in our complete factor.
Earlier than I’m going, I’d as soon as once more prefer to reiterate how sorry your entire Jalopnik employees is for stifling the sunshine of George Santo’s lovely profession. George was one of the best man round, and we took him with no consideration Higher issues are on the horizon for you buddy. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you quickly. <3
