George Santos’ press secretary spills all the tea on working for the most “radioactive” member of Congress
A post shared by • • (@gabbylipsky)Meet Gabrielle Lipsky.She’s a 24-year-old recent college grad who somehow landed a gig as George Santos’ press secretary despite having almost no experience working in politics or public relations.“Typically, I would describe my normal day as a pinball machine,” she tells Insider in a wild new interview. “It shoots me in every direction.”We can imagine it’s a rather hectic place to work.
Whether it’s being exposed for lying about how his grandparents survived the Holocaust, falsely claiming his mother died on 9/11, or saying he narrowly survived a murder attempt in Times Square, each new day seems to bring a fresh Santos scandal.The latest bombshell involves accusations of the embattled gay lawmaker buying up puppies from dog breeders in Amish country with bounced checks five years ago.George Santos is LITERALLY a fucking puppy thiefA puppy thief represents me in Congress pic.twitter.com/GNPaSU448Z— Reema Rasool (@reemarasool) February 15, 2023Lipsky says her days are mostly spent fielding never-ending requests for comment from the media in between taking even more never-ending calls from angry constituents demanding her boss resign.
Fun!“It’s a lot,” she says. “They curse us out, they threaten us. There are so many times when people ask me: ‘How could you work for somebody like that?'”Long Island constituents arrive at Rep George Santos office pic.twitter.com/Bg1XHoRiuj— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) February 7, 2023It’s a very good question.
Just how does Lipsky work for somebody like Santos?Turns out, her parents helped get her the gig.Lipsky’s folks gave more than $13,000 to Santos’ campaign–over $8,000 from Dad and $5,800 from Mom–in December 2021.
