"But Democrats struggled to do so. In 2020, the party incumbent, Tom Suozzi, dismissed Mr. Santos as a nonviable threat, and conducted no opposition research at all while cruising to victory.

Serious question on the #GeorgeSantos story: how on Earth didn’t basic research uncover some or all of his most obvious lies, lawsuits, & scams during the campaign? 🤥 Why didn’t the Russian money connection come to light then? 🤑Are the #nydems that incompetent not to do oppo work? 😴Is the NY #media #press political #journalism circuit that shy of digging into a candidate to verify background? 🥱Heck, I grew up outside of Chicago where nobody trusts a candidate for good reason.🤡 What gives? 🤬🤯😱😶
