Rep. Ritchie Torres

OUTRAGEOUS: #GeorgeSantos is going to be appointed to the Small Business Committee, which oversees one of the largest government programs in history: the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

Can a fraud like George Santos be trusted to root out rampant fraud in the PPP program?

@RitchieTorres Santos shouldn’t be in Congress at all. Absolutely disgraceful.

@RitchieTorres Of course not. What would you like us to do about it?

@RitchieTorres Of course not. He can't be trusted at all and he should be treated accordingly.

@RitchieTorres No Republican can. Santos, of course, could not be trusted even had he run and won as a Democrat. But no Republican can.

All we can hope for is Brazil will soon want the extradition of the con-man and Kev will be out a member.

@RitchieTorres JFC. A wolf passing the key to the henhouse to an even worse wolf. Sorry to insult wolves, who are far nobler and more deserving of our compassion than those slime molds.

@RitchieTorres You might say it's the legislative equivalent of lifting the leg and peeing on the walls of Congress. A marker.

@RitchieTorres PPP is the one that has blown the biggest hole in the budget. Rich guys cut in line to scoop up the money first, and then their debts were forgiven. Because there was no oversight - just the way Trump intended it...

Seems appropriate to me considering that George Santos funded most of that program himself.

Well, on the theory that it takes a thief to catch a thief, maybe..

@RitchieTorres expect more massive theft and corruption from the #TrumpCrimeSyndicate this is a continuation of the corruption in the Republican party. The DOJ let them all get away with the massive theft of PPP money. This is the consequence.

@RitchieTorres @Calmero There's no accountability in US government when it comes to the GQP.

The corruption is thoroughly endemic, and the centrist Congressional Dems can't be bothered with it.

@RitchieTorres We know they have gone totally & completely to the dark side. I just dont want to see Dems doing that same old centrist crap of trying to make lemonade out of genocide type of stuff. Please.

@RitchieTorres You can be sure they’ll level fraud charges against people they don’t like.

But of course they will - and the country is LETTING it happen. No protests, no open opposition, just finger wagging and memes. #WhereIstheEnergy
