Gay Twitter™ has a lot to say about George Santos’ 13-count indictment and arrest
indicted and taken into federal custody Wednesday. Santos’ 13-count indictment includes seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.He was taken into custody at the FBI’s offices in Melville, Long Island.
Santos has been the target of numerous investigations into his personal and campaign finances ever since he was seated in Congress earlier this year.
After narrowing flipping a blue district in Long Island red, he was exposed as a fabulist, with theNew York Times finding he lied about his biography, education, family background and work history.
The scandals involving Santos, who identifies as gay, are wide ranging. He’s been accused of having a secret ex-wife, working as a drag queen in Brazil (while supporting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation) and falsely claiming his mother died in the 9/11 attacks.
