Would someone please tell me why the media is framing this as George Santos is being “accused” of “allegedly” flashing a white power sign. There’s video and images.

Same gaslighting vibes as the J6 “riot”

@flexghost Because it is. Just like the former Jew stephan miller did, unobtrusively. Don't ever ignore what's right in front of you. Germany did.
@brbylo2023 there are too many parallels to the Weimar republic, including the collapse of the judicial branch

@flexghost

They'll just pretend the OK sign hasn't been coopted by white supremacists because plausible deniability blah blah who could possibly blah blah blah

@ParanoidFactoid @flexghost

There is a difference between the two, in that the white power sign has the tip of the forefinger placed under the knuckle of the thumb, instead of at the tip; in that way the tip of the thumb forms the bottom of the P, instead of an O.

Dumbasses just make the OK sign anyway. Nuance never their strong suit.

@DavidMHarlan @ParanoidFactoid everyone flashes the “ok” sign. Easy mistake to make.
@flexghost @ParanoidFactoid
what really kills me about it, is that the OK sign is a silent, ranged method of asking or telling someone if everything is alright. They love that that just screws the whole thing up for everybody
@flexghost Because their owners support this shit and they aren't on our side or honest providers. Thank RayGun and capitalism. The Free Press is no more.
@flexghost
Maybe he's studying American Sign Language, and just learned the phrase "I'm an asshole."
@flexghost the media didn’t learn a damn thing! The gaslighting continues and they hold a lot of responsibility for where we’re at.
I hope that Santos gets what he deserves. The boot from congress, humiliation, and jail time.
@TrisResists @flexghost he seems way too comfortable in the Republican snake den already.
@mikeylikeyyou @TrisResists they are only pretending to be angry at this dude because he was caught not because he was lying
@mikeylikeyyou @flexghost I agree and it ticks me off to no end.
@TrisResists if anyone wonders why there was no legislation to curb literal Russian propaganda outlets, masquerading as American news… Here we are
@flexghost this dude looks like so many of the most entitled shitheads I've gone to school with
@Smokinjoe right he’s got that I’m going to tell on you look

@flexghost

"Don't worry - I won't tell anyone about that, just do it!"

*Tells parents about that*

@flexghost the media is failing us.
@quanahjoan yet again
@flexghost there used to be high standards and pride in reporting, now it like, “Meh.”
@quanahjoan is it’s like which side were we told to make look good
@flexghost you might as well forget about the media they're not going to do the right thing anymore
@CUDA813 it’s been a while since they did
@flexghost I find it interesting, well, no, puzzling is a better word, that people who evidently aren’t white—like this guy—would use a white power sign. Why would he 🤬 do it?

@flexghost

His pride colored knee pads got worn out at the Klan meeting.

@flexghost …when your cult makes you pack down the fact that you’re not white and flash white power symbols.
TREES FOR CHAINSAWS 2024
@flexghost shocking, just shocking
@flexghost This Hispanic wants to be in the club SO BAD..
Explains all the lies. Deeply insecure, low self esteem, underachiever, psychopath. Keep an eye on him.
@johnforchione pretty sure more eyes than ever are watching. Don’t think he gets it tho
@flexghost Covering their own asses so Santos can't sue them for defamation. That's why Colbert often (half) jokingly throws on "Allegedly!" at the end of a joke during the monolog
@flexghost They, being the media love to tell us it’s raining buckets when the sun is actually shining.
@flexghost Bolsanero and Santos need to both be expedited to Brazil.
I'll buy their tickets.

It's really sad when anyone is a white supremacist, but when a POC is? Truly sad and my heart actually goes out out to them. Kind of like internalized homophobia.

@flexghost

@flexghost that sure looks like George Santos is making a "white power" gesture with his left hand while making a "sieg heil" with his right

He's just 2 letters shy of being a class act...

@flexghost

Right? We have eyes. His hand didn't fall into that awkward position by accident.

@flexghost I see that NY Republicans have called on him to resign.
@PamGWhite he’ll totally do the right thing
@flexghost I saw that he has already said that he's not resigning. True MAGA style 🙄 I hope that Democrats in Congress keep this in mind. Don't respond to their subpoenas. Don't take them seriously on anything.
@PamGWhite lol!!! Because of course
@flexghost And of course they keep using that one image where you only see his hand from the side, not the one where it's head-on, and unmistakable
