Rep. George Santos has been caught in an online of lies about his training, heritage, and private historical past, which is why everybody within the GOP (apart from that communist RINO Mitt Romney) loves him a lot. He represented the perfect components of the Republican social gathering. That is why Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy is completely okay with Santos attending the labeled briefing, as a result of why not let a pathological liar have entry to labeled info?

CNN spoke with Christian Hart, a psychologist who directs the Human Deception Laboratory at Texas Lady’s College to seek out out exactly why Santos is the right Republican.

A pathological liar is “somebody who has a maladaptive sample of mendacity” mentioned Hart. “The particular person tends to lie excessively. So that they’re prolifically mendacity. Telling the lies sometimes brought about a number of issues of their life. Issues with relationships, issues within the office, typically authorized issues.”

CNN then introduced a montage of only a smattering of Santos’ lies:

• “I truly went to high school on a volleyball scholarship.”
• “My mother was a 911 survivor.”
• “I am a Latino Jew.”
• “My grandparents survived the Holocaust.”
• “I additionally based my very own nonprofit group.”

“Folks do not lie at random,” mentioned Hart. “They imagine there will not be repercussions for his or her mendacity. After which additionally they’ll by some means morally justify their mendacity or show to themselves that they are nonetheless an okay particular person.”

Again to a clip of Santos: “I lived an trustworthy life. I’ve by no means been accused of something dangerous doing.”

Hart: “After we see individuals telling egregious lies like that, and there seems to be a lifelong sample related to it, I might say definitely he is he appears to be the kind of one that’s partaking in pathological mendacity.”

CNN: “There was this second on the State of the Union deal with the place Senator Romney approached him. And he did not appear apologetic in any respect.”

Hart: “We see this sample quite a bit with individuals with psychopathic tendencies or individuals with delinquent persona problems. And in these instances, what we discover is that these individuals are extraordinarily comfy manipulating and utilizing and exploiting individuals and so they achieve this with little or no guilt or disgrace and have a tendency to not have regret.”

Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia is attempting to do one thing about it by introducing a decision to expel Santos. However everyone knows how that is going to go – straight to the Ethics Committee to gather mud.

Nevertheless, Republican Congressman Anthony Esposito, one of many few GOP politicians who is not contaminated with MAGA mind worms, has grow to be the primary Home Republican to name on Santos to step down, most likely as a result of he is aware of that having somebody who lies as a lot as Santos attending labeled briefings on China is a nasty search for the Republicans. Till then the GOP continues to embrace one other liar as considered one of their very own
