George Santos (pictured above) is a pathological liar who has finally admitted to lying about vast swathes of his resume while campaigning for office and fooling the voters.
Now, he was seen flashing the White Nationalist power symbol on the House floor during the voting for the new Speaker during the January 5 round of voting.
This story from Business Insider here with this headline:
“George Santos accused of flashing white power symbol during House
speaker vote”
Santos, seen above making the “OK White Nationalist” gesture
as he cast his vote for Kevin McCarthy as House speaker. He used his right hand
to cast his vote for McCarthy while making a sideways “OK gesture with his left
hand.”
The C-SPAN video of the precise moment shows Santos had his arms folded, with
his left arm already in position, before he was called to vote.
That “OK hand gesture” was popularized by right-wing trolls on 4chan as a hoax hate symbol but then later adopted by white supremacists as a genuine expression of white supremacy, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
More on these hate groups reported on here from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) – nationally renowned for tracking domestic groups such as White Nationalists, et al. White nationalist groups espouse white supremacist or white separatist ideologies, often focusing on the alleged inferiority of nonwhites.
Groups listed in a
variety of other categories — Ku Klux Klan, neo-Confederate, neo-Nazi, racist
skinhead, and Christian Identity — could also be fairly described as white
nationalist.
I posted a related article here with the video clip of that exact moment.
My 2 Cents: The entire GOP House must move to expel Santos and get on with important national issues and stop this trivial Santos shït show.
Do it for the national good.
Thanks for
stopping by.
