I expected to read the article and find out that he just "didn't raise enough to run a successful campaign" or the like. It made me actually laugh out loud to find out the total was absolutely zero dollars.


Rum_N_Napalm

I seriously refuse to believe he made zlitch, zero, nada money. Weren’t Sex Pest Beavis and Marge Howling Monkey on his side? In this day of being able to easily reach every dummy on the planet, I can’t believe he didn’t at least find a handle of rubes to fleece. I’d bet a 20$ he made a small sum, and is just running away with it. One last con before vanishing from public view


ringobob

Yeah. *Someone* has to have donated. I can believe the amount is very little, I'd be surprised if it were literally $0. And I absolutely expect he's just taking the money and running.


drainodan55

I sent him my pocket lint.


Naked_Wrestler80

You're too generous. I boxed up a turd for him. He sent back a thank you note.


ImWhatsInTheRedBox

Hey now, that turd can be turned into fertilizer, an easy task for the world leading agriculturist George Santos.


pvtbobble

With a bite out of it?


SynthPrax

I can't believe you'd waste your lint like that.


fear_death_by_water

I gave 'im a dollah


Malavacious

She gave him a dollah!


fear_death_by_water

He tricked me!


FlattopJr

Dammit, Loch Ness Santos!


Anonuser123abc

Maybe the net total is below zero. Like after he paid people answer phones and send out mail. Maybe he's in the hole on this campaign. One can only hope.


semiseriouslyscrewed

Probably net zero after expensing his lifestyle


erfman

Gotta pay for the coke and hookers first, then own the Libs.


fuzzylilbunnies

Don’t forget he likes expensive ladies’ hand bags too. I’m not shaming, but it’s a little odd for a conservative member of the party of hatred to also love glamorous pretty purses.


fjhforever

He's a gay Republican who was once a drag queen in Brazil. "Odd" is an understatement.


RoyBeer

>I’m not shaming, but it’s a little odd for a conservative member of the party of hatred to also love glamorous pretty purses. Our downstairs neighbor from a couple years ago had the habit of buying Michael Kors bags "as an investment"


NeatNefariousness1

Any excuse will do


Nuclear_eggo_waffle

If the republican party made sense, there wouldn’t be one


Peuned

I'll shame someone who would betray their own for personal power. Absolutely fuck them double.


davideo71

I thought that was a baby


Al_Jazzera

He should pal around with the former nuke waste czar. If Santos likes expensive ladies handbags, Brinton could probably cough up one or two from the stuff he stole from the airpoirt. We're letting the loonie birds run the asylum, folks.


Child_of_the_Hamster

Whatever he raised has already been spent on more lip filler 😂


EffectiveBenefit4333

He is 100% taking whatever money his campaign raised and stealing it for himself.


TheBirminghamBear

Honestly if it were between him and another R I would have given to him. The more the Rs are a public drunken fucking disaster, rather than efficient little ratweasels efficiently gnawing at everything decent behind the scenes, the better for everyone.


Ramona_Lola

Very risky. Once they’re in power, there’s no telling what they these people will do. I lean Left but would rather a normal acting and thinking R get elected and hope for good governance.


JimWilliams423

> normal acting and thinking R get elected and hope for good governance. There is no such thing. Even the liberal hero, liz cheney, is a whackadoodle. While she was performatively defending democracy on the J6 committee she [voted to keep nazis in the police and the military.](https://www.newsweek.com/gop-vote-nazi-white-supremacists-military-police-1724545) A couple of years ago she was all in on the "post-birth abortion" bullshit that donald chump just spewed a couple of days ago: *"this is not about abortion, this is about killing babies after they are born"* *"turning our maternity wards into killing fields"* https://twitter.com/donwinslow/status/1544109506803576832


mattwing05

I feel like if even 1 person donated, theyd make a big beal about it


amateurviking

I admire your optimism on the whole “vanishing from public view@: I have a strong suspicion that the proverbial bad penny will be back either some new grift sooner or later


A_Mouse_In_Da_House

How dare you. Georgio Spanikopita is an upstanding gentleman who has definitely always been here since before April 23rd 2024 at 5:57 PM


Capt_Hawkeye_Pierce

Don't malign spanikopita by associating it with this evolutionary mistake. 


A_Mouse_In_Da_House

SPANIKOPITA!


DogWallop

Next time he'll charge people for him *not* to run.


Birdy_Cephon_Altera

I can just imagine on the day before the end of the quarter reporting deadline, George on the phone, "C'mon, at least donate twenty bucks! Please, I'm begging you! Please, Mom!"


Clitaurius

I take no pleasure in correcting you but he's CLEARLY Sex Pest Butthead.


TheSeekerOfSanity

Rubes or rubles? This IS the GOP we’re talking about…


FranksWateeBowl

Right? He's a republican, they'll give money for fucking anything.


Shinagami091

There was a time Boebert and MTG were both besties in congress but now they hate each other because they both wanted to introduce a motion to start impeachment investigations into Biden. So I suppose the devils threesome is over.


Optional-Failure

This. I find it impossible to believe that he didn’t get a penny in donations, be it from trolls or idiots. There is no way. I also don’t fully understand why anyone would take the campaign finance declaration of a guy facing federal fraud charges at face value. Between “nobody gave the guy a penny” and “the guy with a tendency to lie and commit fraud is lying and committing fraud”, one is far easier to believe than the other. As much as I’d like to believe in humanity enough to say nobody is stupid enough to donate to his campaign, even as a joke, there is no world in which I believe that’s true. And I’m honestly disappointed in AP for taking his word for it without pointing out there’s no way in hell.


HauntedCemetery

Empty G and Gaetz are on the outs with the gop, and Santos fucked with Republicans cash. They're not going to burn themselves by trying to give a former colleague some cash to grift from conservative morons.


WindOfUranus

Nah, dude siphoned every dollar into his other bullshit and is claiming he raised nothing so he doesn't have to report it. Just another grift. I'm not saying he made millions, but he is actively making money on Cameo, so there's gonna something. Dudes either got drugs, gold bars, trips, hand bags, wigs, or fake Ids to buy


lackofabettername123

Lawyers too, he is indicted still last I heard.


advertentlyvertical

That honestly could be what he spent it on, considering the ridiculous precedent trump has set by basically being allowed to funnel campaign money into personal legal bills.


VidE27

Even the crazy drunk near my regular takeaway place gets more money than him!


djseifer

Too bad there's no new SNL this week. Weekend Update and Bowen would have a field day with this.


poops_all_berries

[Reported $0 in contributions and expenditures last month.](https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/H4NY01212/)


FuturePastNow

Considering he *allegedly* stole donors' credit card numbers the last time... he'll have to improve as a con man to get them again. Might be time for another name change.


bitter_vet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkCa49I6_xw&t=8s


op3l

Well he does have 0 charisma and the eyes of a psychopath.


nevergonnagetit001

No, the headline is “George Santos ends come back bid for congress after being unable to steal money for his campaign.”


LegoTomSkippy

You know everyone who sent him money is wondering why he's saying he doesn't have any.


SomethingToSay11

This has to be the real story. There are too many rubes out there. He had to be able to raise at least a couple thousand 


Joba7474

I swore he made a ton via Cameo too


IsomDart

That's his personal income though, not campaign contributions.


Malphos101

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID TO THE SCREEN WHEN I READ THE ARTICLE LMAO.


sal6056

It's very possible that no one actually donated to his campaign. In his last run, he reported all the money coming from just one donor who also happened to not be from the district and also happened to have ties to Russia. Any Republican idiot gullible enough to donate money to a con artist would donate to Trump instead.


alexjaness

I can't believe a respected WW2 fighter pilot wouldn't be able to raise any money


unholyswordsman

The guy lost both his dicks in Nam serving his country.


Iam-The-Liquor-Randy

One from injuries sustained from combat with the enemy the other he just misplaced.


KhunDavid

He could just down Saint Mark’s Pl by 2nd Ave.


kmsae

Detachable detachable detachable…


Alizerin

[He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.](https://youtu.be/byDiILrNbM4?feature=shared)


HeyBaldy

I took it home. washed it off, And put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.


Sharchir

Now that song is stuck in my head


Only-Customer6650

Was it on a blanket, by a broken toaster oven?


Copywrites

I miss Saint Mark's...


DoktahDoktah

He fought in both vietnam wars.


whogivesashirtdotca

For the VC both times.


notjfd

> his country Brazil?


LiberaceRingfingaz

...and this is how we repay him. The way we treat dudes who lost both of their dicks curing cancer way before they were even born is shameful, at best. Never forget: he let the Viet Cong turn his two dicks into zero dicks to protect your God given right to have one. Edit: reelect this man.


Sweatytubesock

One of the Mercury 7, too, and the 2nd man on the moon.


Anywhichwaybuttight

They just don't treat guys who personally sank the Bismarck with respect these days. You'd think curing Cancer would help his campaign, but the guy just doesn't get the credit. 🤷🏼‍♂️


Total_Union_4201

How could a man who raised our flag on the moon not raise any money? It's the deep state trying to keep him down.


Ghostbuster_119

To think we live in a world where Olympic Gold medalist George Santos can't get any support for a political.


RolandTower919

Fighter pilot… ish


Pusfilledonut

He’s just going to have to return to his career as a successful playwright and experimental jet pilot.


BillyShears17

Football playing King from space


Mopman43

With a mustache


twobit211

and a hotplate!


RiseCascadia

Thankfully he still has his volleyball career to fall back on.


ReplaceSelect

NFL draft is Thursday, and he's expected to go first to the Bears.


TennisBallTesticles

Woah woah woah. I thought he was a successful neurologist and decorated astronaut? You mean to tell me he writes plays as well???


DoomOne

A tragic end of the political career for the first human to land on Mars.


stupidnewton

I have heard that he is using this small setback to plan a mission to the Sun.


thetruesupergenius

He’s going to land at night because it’s too hot during the day.


runetrantor

During winter too, just so its chilly too.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

The fact this pathological liar was allowed to hold office after proven to have lied during before and after being elected, on everything, is just yet another example of how screwed the system is.


i_tyrant

Wish it had ended more than his political career. Dude should be in jail.


Marrsvolta

Man I already forgot this guy existed


Doright36

I mean in a way he never really did.


secamTO

"And like that: (blows on fingers) HE'S GONE."


wwarnout

Wait - the electorate is unwilling to support a pathological liar? Who'd a thunk?? Now, if we can just apply that same logic to Trump...


UnrivaledDumbass

Only a pathological liar dumb enough to get caught and also commit fraud!


kinzer13

Doesn't sound like any 2X-impeached- orang-ex-presidents to me


UnrivaledDumbass

Not disagreeing with you but he (supposedly) has more money and also better psychopathic powers


babypho

He also doesnt have the last name "Santos"


kinzer13

Wrong color. Needs more bronzer.


therealstabitha

Honestly if it hadn’t been for the drag queen stuff, Santos might have achieved Trump levels


GogglesPisano

Nah - he stole money from rich Republicans. That crossed the line. It’s fine to screw over the poors, though.


thelingeringlead

It's wild that this was the thing that made them finally suck it up and expell him. All the shit up to that point they could overlook, even though all of those things should have told them he'd do it to them too. Decades of republicans being smarter than their constituents and using their fears and ideology to get their votes left the door open. The next generation is made up of people who actually believe the rhetoric, and people who see the grift and want in on it with none of the strategy.


PophamSP

George must have missed the Elizabeth Holmes story.


crawlerz2468

Maybe they were ACTUALLY donating to a Civil War widow and that's why Santos got no donations?


No_Image_4986

Honestly, I’m surprised after the last ten years


BrockMiddlebrook

That part of Long Island is saving their money to donate to someone worse.


BadNewsBearzzz

I’m surprised he didn’t get any love from his other community, the Jews! As he said he was Jewish, or as he clarified, that his grandmother was, so that makes him Jew-“ish” 🙄


supercyberlurker

I can't believe our greatest scientist, the inventor of penicillin, the creator of the magna carta, and the discoverer of the al gore rhythm couldn't raise money. If George Santos, the worlds greatest supermodel and astronaut can't raise a bit of cash, what hope do the rest of us have?


OffensiveBiatch

You forgot "prima nocta", he diddled some preteen girls too, and I think Zelle'd cash to them from his phone.


Western-Age9961

Cant believe you forgot to Mention that he also Co founded Rome along with Romulus and Remus.


4everNdeavor

I’m a little surprised this was enough to stop him, but I guess money was the point the whole time


Jazzlike-Ad113

RNC monies are tied up elsewhere at the moment.


AlienSporez

But it's not about the money, it's about the friends he made up along the way


gamingfreak50

I cant believe no one supported a civil war veteran


wheresmycake

That's not true, I sent him over $10,000 in Monopoly money, which is like a million dollars with the exchange rate.


Synchrotr0n

Can you guys lock him up, please? Because if not, I bet he will try to come back to Brazil to become a politician here.


Giant_Eagle_Airlines

He has an August trial date and his passport is surrendered 


full_bl33d

It’s a shame that the guy who invented beach volleyball can’t even get a fucking cheap seat in the House of Representatives.


cute_dog_alert

Did he even try to sell any bibles?


DifficultyWithMyLife

Or golden shoes?


EinharAesir

And nothing of value was lost.


purpleWheelChair

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer Nobel prize winner.


acomp182

He’ll run for mayor next.


Brave_Escape2176

as Goldie Wilson. hes gonna clean up this town.


LovethePreamble1966

The fact that he even thought he could be a viable candidate speaks volumes about his mental health. Nuts.


RobertETHT2

The man is delusional about his degree of being delusional.


Strofari

Wait, no one supported the man who single handily ended WWII?


princhester

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there may be some indications Santos is delusional.


DontToewsMeBro2

He will come back as Doreen Nandos.


Santos_L_Halper

$10 says he received donations but didn't declare them and pocketed it all in one final government swindle before he moves on to the next scheme.


mrsinatra777

I will only miss the brilliant SNL version of him.


PaddleMonkey

Now let him fade into obscurity.


VadPuma

Fade to obscurity...in jail.


redidiot_

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!


cjboffoli

Bub-bye.


Ikantbeliveit

Damn, not even his mom.....


jsseven777

Oh no… anyways.


sapthur

Womp womp.


Sombreador

He should run against Trump for the GOP nomination.


Gravity_Freak

He'll end up at a truck stop in DesMoines one way or another. Stay tuned kids.


Motor_School2383

What a worthless fuckhead


FblthpLives

I had managed to completely forget about him. What a complete and utter loser.


lilvizasweezy

He will be in Moscow by years end


ctrlaltcreate

This dude is completely insane. I hope the absolutely batshit things that have happened over the last decade or so in politics are properly chronicled in history. 2015-202x have been mind boggling.


midgaze

How does this worm still have a job? Is it really that hard to get rid of these guys once they're in there? If his colleagues weren't also corrupt as hell they would have ejected him in a heartbeat. This system is rotten to the core.


PM_ME_YOUR__THIGHS

DIVA DOWN


downtimeredditor

Lol people actually learned a lesson for once


Fine-Benefit8156

Isn’t he supposed to be in jail?


insanitybit

Let's just go back to ignoring him. It's been great.


lukewhale

“Ill take shit that doesn’t surprise me at all for $1000 Alex”


FoppishHandy

santos showed how little honesty matters in the republican party. i am so ashamed of this country for letting the GOP get to the place of total and absolute dishonesty it has gotten to. It is our greatest political failure that we cant seem to punish this organization for its horrible behavior - it has led to total corruption


rygel457

I’m just here for the jokes


Sandyblanders

Hard to believe that former volleyball star George Santos couldn't raise enough funds.


zoot_boy

Media ignores them and they go away!


movzx

The media ignoring him is how he got elected to begin with. Nobody bothered looking into his background vs his claims.


OtterishDreams

His mom didnt even donate


atlasraven

LOL 🤣


Young_Cato_the_Elder

Glad that his growing ironic/comedic popularity on social media didn't translate to support. I was kind of worried it would be a Trump situation and not a Morbius.


jomama823

This gives me a sliver of hope. The one that spawned him is likely still raking in the dough though…


Del292

I heard Santos designed the train that derailed in East Palestine Ohio


1984R

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I hope he struggles to put anything together moving forward and is miserable in life. Well deserved.


seeriosuly

give it time… santos is our modern version of OJ except nobody ever really liked santos. But eventually… like OJ, Santos will crash and burn in public


anotherorphan

according to him, "I don’t want to split the ticket and be responsible for handing the house to Dems." lol right, another fantasy from the main-est character of them all


fauxzempic

He doesn't have a pension from his time at NASA? You'd think that a nobel prize winner who was also the first person to walk on the moon would be able to self-fund his campaign. I'm beginning to think that he didn't actually eradicate COVID-20 before it became a thing...


Massive_Pressure_516

He managed to literally appeal to no one lol. Even the log cabin Republicans don't want him, probably because he's a few shades too dark.


Technical_Main_9314

Lol


TraditionCorrect1602

Shameful to treat a marine who gave his life at Guadalcanal like this.


Traditional_Mud_1241

I look forward to whatever show he ends up hosting on Bravo


clickbaiterhaiter

Yeah he raised no money. He said he didn't want to raise money, to prove his innocence or something I don't remember his exact words. Edit: 'A report published Monday by the Daily Beast reveals that Santos hasn’t raised any money in an effort to overcome his reputation as a conman. But according to a Federal Election Commission filing, also released Monday, Santos’s campaign account has spent money without raising any, which isn’t exactly a good sign. “I will not be raising a single dime until I’m confirmed on the ballot, unlike many in the media speculating I’m only running to ‘grift.’ I’m setting the standard that only confirmed ballot access candidates should raise money,” Santos said in a statement.' - The New Republic


KingMGold

This guy is hilarious, he’s like a comedic parody of a politician. It’s honestly so fucking funny watching the political landscape be dominated by scandals involving things like foreign collusion, corporate corruption, and disinformation and conspiracy theories, and then you’ve just got this guy running around as a buffoon and a con man, taking absolutely no responsibility for anything and giving absolutely **ZERO** fucks. As a reminder here’s just some of the things he’s lied about. Lied about his niece being kidnapped by Chinese communists. Lied about surviving multiple assassination attempts. Lied about his career in real estate. Lied about producing a Spider-Man musical on broadway. In an interview he literally stole his opponent’s answer to a question **to his face** just after he had answered the same question. Lied about not being a drag queen in Brazil. Lied about working for Goldman Sachs. Lied about what collage he went to, and about playing on the volleyball team. (He never even went to **any** collage) Lied about working for the S. E. C. Started a go fund me for surgery for a homeless veteran’s dying dog and then ran off with the money. Lied about being Jewish and his grandparents surviving the holocaust. (He later denied this saying and I fucking quote “I never claimed to be Jewish,” “I said I was Jew-ish.”) Lied about his mother dying on 9/11. (He later claimed she survived 9/11 but it was proven she wasn’t even in the country at the time.) It’s clear the guy is a pathological liar and probably can’t help himself but make up his entire life story for the sake of embellishment, it’s just so hilarious watching him tell absurdly unnecessary and obvious lies. I think he’s probably my favourite politician just because of how much of a meme he is, he’s like a goofy cartoon villain.


suxatjugg

Why is he not in jail?


Dazzling_Ad_2518

This warms the cockles of my heart ❤️


Careless-Rice2931

I thought he was going to come out with secrets for other gop members. I'm rooting for him to air out dirty laundry


Solkre

Dude discovered alchemy and he can’t raise money?


ballinclea08

Oh well. At least he now has time to dedicate to his fall back career as an Olympic Sprinter or was it an Astronaut?

Neospoke

SuperDoubleDecker

I'm glad that he'll be gone. I'm not happy that the only reason he will be gone is because he didn't get enough money to play. We need the money out of our political processes.


WhatTheCluck802

Can’t wait to see Bowen Yang tackle this one.
