Tomorrow's a Closer Look: The Man Arrested for Trying to Scam George Santos, Turns Out to be, George Santos.

To be fair, Tucker didn't say which side his Revolutionary War relatives were on.

[@AccelerateYourSuccess]

Right.

[@SuperLeica1]

They probably weren't all sure about that, just like TukTuk.

[@moonpie2637]

Funny. Because as expected the democrat is found to be the ancestors of slave owners. I say "as expected", because anyone that knows history knows that lines up with the democrats slave trade days. They keep denying it but their DNA doesn't lie. They are now avoiding their families history by not taking tests like DNA, because they fear the result. 😅

[@ucheogwude2516]

The sheer idiocy of a black man advocating for fewer rights for specific groups. Someone should remind Mark that a rising tide raises ALL boats.

[@chadjmoore]

I think he has put his morals asside for greed and faux power. If I through all my ancestors pain and suffering under the bus and pretend I am not black maybe I will get elected....pathetic and typical American, do anything to anyone as long as you get ahead.

But it’s cool if a white dude does it?..

[@MrAcuriteOf1337]

Seth didn't finish the quote. The NC guy also mentioned "when black people swung from trees."

[@ShuRugal]

Always super weird to see a black man advocate for the KKK party. Also weird when i meet non-hetero individuals who vote for the "kill all the gays" party.

[@King_Bob99]

So it’d be okay if he weren’t black…

Turns out that the man trying to scam George Santos was actually George Santos using another alias.

[@angelikalindenau943]

His name was "Jorge Plantos", which seemed suspicious

Thursday was Biden's State of the Union Address with a second House Speaker. Hopefully next year will be Biden's fourth State of the Union Address with his third House Speaker. VOE BLUE!

Saw him in November. Most of it was fairly tame jokes about his family life. He paced back and forth across the stage while staring at the floor. It was... low energy. Not a lot of engagement with the audience. He was obviously trying some new material.

[@SuperLeica1]

"Symptoms of Parrot fever...". Excellent one.
