Stefanik's reputation tied to Santos?

Rep. Elise Stefanik has been asked by her New York congressional peers to cooperate with a House Ethics Committee probe into whether Rep. George Santos committed a crime among the many lies he told to get elected.

On Sunday, Reps. Daniel Goldman, D-Brooklyn, and Ritchie Torres, D-Bronx, wrote a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Stefanik and Republican fundraiser Daniel Conston, asking them to disclose any knowledge they may have had of Santos’s lies before the November election.

I'm sure they're shocked. Shocked! Stefanik's "friend" wouldn't lie, would he?

New reporting from the New York Times has involved Stefanik in the debacle, reporting that her chief political aide, who has gone unnamed, helped Santos on his campaign in the spring of 2022, after his first team of campaign staff resigned when they learned of his lies.

Oh! He WOULD lie. And Stefanik's people replaced his staff when they quit BECAUSE he lied. So much for pretending you didn't know.

Republican donors active in Long Island Republican circles are reported to have informed associates of Stefanik about concerns that Santos was a fraud as well.

Oh my.

Stefanik’s team did not provide a response when asked about these claims on Monday.

I'm shocked.

And then, let's hear what McCarthy knew.  Stefanik was awfully prominent in the scrum around him during the five days of his attempt to get the gavel.  He at least knew that someone on Santos' staff pretended to be someone on McCarthy's staff in order to fund raise. 

At this point, it seems like Republicans have decided to throw so much shit at the fan that people can't separate it out to decide what to do about what. 

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 01/24/2023:

Oh yeah, she's lying.
