This is a headline that I never imagined that I would write.
A REPUBLICAN congressman hid the fact that he used to be married to a WOMAN because he ran for Congress as the first openly gay Republican.
We have entered the point in society where politicians for the conservative party are having to hide their dark sordid past of HETEROSEXUALITY to win elections.
Okay, so he's either a straight man pretending to be gay, or he's a gay man who used to pretend to be straight but now tries to hide that fact for political reasons.
Republican congressman-elect George Santos is under new scrutiny after a New York Times report earlier this week uncovered a string of apparent outright fabrications at the heart of some of the most fundamental facts of his life, but that backstory may also be notable for what Santos did not include — a publicly undisclosed marriage.
Santos, who claims he has "never experienced discrimination in the Republican Party," broke barriers this year when he became the first openly gay non-incumbent GOP candidate elected to Congress.
But according to court records obtained by The Daily Beast, Santos appears to be the subject of a previously unacknowledged Sept. 2019 divorce with a woman in Queens County, New York. The divorce — which Santos has not discussed publicly — adds new uncertainty to his already shaky biographical and political claims.
In 2019 Santoa divorced a woman, and he hid this because in today's Republican Party it's apparently VERY important for your homosexual bona fides to be unquestioned.
Less than two weeks after his divorce was finalized, Santos filed the official paperwork to launch his 2020 campaign. And while his 2022 campaign bio mentions his husband, who according to Santos lives with him and their four dogs on Long Island, he's kept this previous marriage out of the public eye entirely.
It's entirely possible that Santos, who claims he has "never experienced discrimination in the Republican Party," has been living comfortably as an openly gay man for, as he says, more than a decade. People get married for countless reasons. But Santos' situation is curious because he never disclosed his divorce to voters, and never reconciled his prior marriage to a woman — which ended just 12 days before he established his first congressional campaign — with his claims of being an out and proud gay Republican.
Santos has been claiming to be openly gay for a decade but he was also married to a woman?
What the heck is going on here?
The Daily Beast, which is a very biased left-wing outlet, also documents how there are many other holes in Santos' biography.
It is the year 2022 and Republicans are lying about being gay and hiding heterosexual marriages because they want to get elected.
