Reply to comment by NetQuarterLatte in George Santos' ex-boyfriend says he stole his phone, never went to work by mowotlarx

I'm sorry that questioning if a known liar is continuing to be dishonest is somehow an unethical approach for you. Most reasonable people can see past this and recognize it's just more right-wing drivel from you. Deflect, deflect, and deflect from the actual exposed grifting and blame the left for having the gall to ask these questions in the first place.

I have no problem with exposing grift. In fact, I advocate for more effective mechanisms such as allowing his outright removal by the will of the voters.

That's more effective and preferable (in my opinion) in dealing with the problem, and as a side-effect there will be no need to gloat on a justice-porn-fantasy where George Santos falls flat on his face if only the public exposes and shame him enough.

My problem is with the (wittingly or unwittingly) promotion of bigotry that comes along with such crowd driven effect of unquenchable thirst for public shaming.

I've been putting you on the unwittingly category. But now I can't say that you're unaware anymore.

So... you're telling everybody else to stop exposing the continued lies because you've seen enough and any more exposure makes you uncomfortable. I don't see at all how this constitutes bigotry. It's nobody else's fault that calls for accountability make you uncomfortable.

His removal by voters in a recall is quite seriously not constitutional. And we recognize that you just want that mechanism so you can remove your least favorite leadership on the left in a tit-for-tat, as you've made clear yourself.

Just stop with the bigotry.

It doesn't make me uncomfortable, but it is one of the things that has been plaguing our country.

That's exactly the problem, isn't it?

Self-awareness is usually hard earned.
