Ok, effectively this is amusing but it also implies really frankly that George Santos isn’t heading to operate for Congress upcoming year because he is broke. But he may be under arrest or imprisoned by then in any case so it is really all superior.

Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) issued extra cash in refunds than he took in from donors very last quarter, contacting into question his capability to operate for reelection future yr.

His campaign also disclosed credit card debt from final yr that was not effectively claimed at the time — or in filings considering that.

Santos’ marketing campaign refunded more than $35,000 to donors between July and September even though having in only $1,704 in new donations, in accordance to his latest campaign finance report. His campaign also put in much more than $forty two,000 more than the period, $twenty,000 of which was categorised as legal expenditures. That left him with considerably less than $23,000 in his campaign account.

The filing also for the first time disclosed a lot more than $120,000 owed to distributors seemingly courting back to 2022 for costs like election night time catering and a “mail fundraising” system. Campaigns are authorized to get on these money owed, but they are intended to be documented on the submitting for that quarter as effectively as each and every subsequent filing. A line in Sunday’s report mentioned Santos’ existing treasurer only turned “aware of prior financial debt in the present-day interval.” His treasurer did not straight away answer to an inquiry about when the debt was incurred.

The worst submitting ever by a congressman who is not retiring, likely.

So riddle me this: How does a guy with no revenue and a mountain of debt (own and campaign) nevertheless control to go buying at extremely-distinctive boutiques, like Hermès? Just one of life’s lots of mysteries.
