    “I used to think he was a great governor,” Santos, the first non-incumbent gay Republican elected to Congress, said of DeSantis. “Now, I’m starting to think differently.”

    The Hill quoting the NY Republican Senator and chronic liar George Santos takes the cake.

      Off-topic, but wow, what a spaghetti bowl of adjectives that first sentence is. What does “first non -incumbent gay Republican elected” even mean as a string of qualifiers? I can just about parse it, but the phrasing makes it read as though all the incumbent gay Republicans before him were straight when they won their first elections, instead of just closeted.

        Also, with this guy, any of those qualifiers could be a complete fabrication. Why does anyone in the media take anything this dude says seriously?
