@uspolitics another maga Nazi hiding in plain site
@uspolitics
What is it about these MAGA people that they feel the need to claim victimhood status?
Do they know, deep down, that they're not actually victims of anything, that they are the victimizers?
And so they make up stories of oppression to be able to claim they really are victims?
I don't know if that's the motivation, but if it is, they are seriously missing the point of naming your history of oppression.
They disgust me.
@uspolitics Another putz who can piss right off. 😑
@uspolitics They have found a way to cheat and take advantage of those lies.
@uspolitics ah female George Santos here we come

@uspolitics
Having Nazi grandparents does not make one an asshole.

Lying about it and claiming Jewish heritage does.

@BlippyTheWonderSlug @uspolitics agreed, but I could have missed exactly what her heritage is, I skimmed the article... my grandfather was a German soldier in WWII, but that doesn't mean he was a Nazi or a member of a "Nazi army"
@uspolitics
Pathetic Republicans fraud in the House Chamber deeps with now the female version of Santos... 😬
@uspolitics thats a lot to digest on a Saturday morning… no wonder that people hate politics and politicians or should I say career seeking pyriahas? Why do they always forget that they serve the people? But still… I try to believe that not all politicians are like that 🥳
@uspolitics
Highly likely is supported by the nazies of today, ruZZia.
@uspolitics My new Congresswoman. My state has lost its damn mind.
@uspolitics @mmasnick a demographic that has been lying to itself since the civil war is liable to a bit of embellishment
@uspolitics from Jew to Nazi sounds like net
@uspolitics I think young republicans are so lazy, they’ve been having ChatGPT write their bios.
@uspolitics This is the latest fascist tactic: Anti-Semites pretending to be of Jewish descent to stereotype Jews and to garner false sympathy.

@uspolitics
Another George Santos? This at the end of the article seems to say a lot.

“There is one thing Luna has said about herself that definitely appears to be true: “I’m able to take on different personalities depending on what image I am going for,” she told the Canadian magazine Skyn in 2017. “I think getting into [the] character of what you are selling is super important.”

@uspolitics
Lying about a Jewish heritage, lying in general to gain power is gross and she should be ousted.... but I don't understand the meaning of "Nazi army" and it isn't explained in the article. Unless they mean a member of the Nazi Party or Gestapo, that is misleading. The German military was not a "Nazi army" and soldiers were not necessarily Nazis.

@uspolitics So blatant, yet still ignored lies are just a thing now.

....

Neat! *facepalm*

@uspolitics What don’t people get about the GOP and con artists?
@uspolitics @ppatel Santos and Luna are the new playbook for misinformation personified in order to execute the insurrection against the Republic using Manchurian (Muscovy?) Candidates
@paninid @uspolitics Precisely. This problem can only get worse.
