Fucking dig into him until he rage quits the interview, then show that on the news. Stop asking soft questions and letting them get away with lies. Reporters these days are becoming as guilty as the media themselves allowing these assholes to lie constantly and not calling them out immediately. Make them squirm and be accountable!

If the actual courts won't convict him then every man woman and child has to see him as a feckless liar, a pathetic toady that will say anything to get what he wants. He should never have peace outside of his house if he wants to act like this

Journalism is dead and capitalism killed it

Reporters these days are becoming as guilty as the media themselves

"The people who make up the media are as guilty as the media" lolwut

Or better yet - don't interview him at all. Do an exposé piece on him that details everything and run it primarily in his district if you want to actually affect change.

The fact that he's being interviewed only adds to his credibility, and no matter what happens here, people are going to think he's just misunderstood, since "He'd be in jail if this were all true, right?"

He should be.

"Of course my grandparents survived the Holocaust! My grandfather was one of the most decorated officers in the S... uh, next question?"

"My grandfather died in a concentration camp! He fell off the watchtower!"

"my grandfather was a war hero. He killed 20 men, then spent the rest of the war in an allied prison camp"

"My grandad was responsible for 28 downed German planes in WW2.

Still to this day holds the record as the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had."

I gotta give it to you. I think this is the best one.
😂😂😂

"My grandfather destroyed an entire Nazi ammunition and explosives dump in WW2.

And that was the last time they ever let him smoke on duty."

Same old fascist playbook: Claim that you have unassailable evidence that you're going to throw down "soon."

My girlfriend lives in Canada, you wouldn't know her.

That's the same tactic of Christian Fundigelical Apologists, too. It's no wonder they're bedfellows.

That guy baffles me every time I read of him. Is he made of dumb or does he think everybody else is?

Nevermind. His voters don't care, so the latter it seems to be. Or both.

I love the one where he's being interviewed and the question is about what you do for Thanksgiving or something, his opponent is like, "oh yeah just good times with the family, we always get Haagen Dazs ice cream for a special treat." Then Santos is asked and he's like, "oh yeah I love those good times with family and Haagen Dazs ice cream, such a special time every year."

Found the clip it's amazing

That reminds me about that special time of the year. We always get Ben & Jerry's, because it's clearly superior.

By the way, I'm right back, I need to... uh, check the freezer for Russians. Yeah, not ice cream, Russians.

Clearly enough other people are or he wouldn’t be where he is.

He saw how Trump conned his way to the office of the president of the us and he did the same to get into congress.

That sounds strange when I think about it, but Trump seems less insane. Dumb, cruel, immature, greedy, etc, sure. But less insane.

What did he do over the weekend? He hunted wolverines with a twelve gauge that were attacking his brother. What would you do in that situation? Gosh!

What a pathetic specimen. He hasn’t gathered yet that he’d be way ahead to simply STFU.
