Disgraced former Rep. George Santos’ (R-N.Y.) warning that he’d flee New York City should Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani become its mayor was greeted Tuesday with ridicule, and hope, on social media.
Santos, whose seven-year prison sentence for ripping off his campaign donors was controversially commuted by President Donald Trump last week, fearmongered on X, formerly Twitter:
“Sadly it seems that my family and I will be departing the city I’ve called home my entire life. NYC will become a very dangerous place to live in if we elect mayor Mamdani and that is a risk I am unwilling to take now that I want to start growing my family.”
Critics essentially said good riddance to the serial fabulist, who also this week all but admitted he likely won’t refund his victims.
MAGA makes'your mom'jokes.
