• A fundraiser for George Santos allegedly posed as Kevin McCarthy's chief of staff, per CNBC.
• He is accused of impersonating the House speaker's top aide in calls and emails to wealthy donors.
• According to FEC filings, the fundraiser was paid almost $100k by Santos' campaign.

A fundraiser for Rep. George Santos allegedly posed as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's chief of staff in a bid to fundraise money from wealthy donors, according to CNBC.

Sam Miele, who worked for Santos' campaign, is said to have impersonated Dan Meyer, who has served as McCarthy's chief of staff since 2019, in phone calls to donors during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, people familiar with the matter said, per CNBC.
The Washington Times was the first to report the claim of impersonation last month, when it said that the fundraiser allegedly posing as Meyer also used a fake email address to send follow-up emails to donors.
A source, a New York GOP operative who did not disclose their name, told The Washington Times that McCarthy's aides first became aware of the allegations after a GOP donor flagged contact from the supposed McCarthy aide as "unusual" in August 2021.
According to CNBC, Santos' campaign paid Miele almost $50,000 for fundraising during the embattled lawmaker's failed 2020 run for Congress. Miele was also paid over $42,000 during the 2022 cycle, Federal Election Commission data shows, per CNBC.

I think Santos should be kicked out for lying.
Then all the rest that have been caught lying over the years should lose their positions & benefits too.
Let's take out all the liars from public office or any govt positions.

Pocahontaus would be next, along with Biden, HRC, Kamala, Barry & so many others. basically all the ones that lied directly to the people when they claimed they had seen all the proof that DT had conspired with Putin, Ukraine or instigated an insurrection.
Throw McConnell, McCarthy, Cheney, Kinzinger, Bush & about 90% of the GOP in there too.

This is the middle ground for me.
If you only want the Repubs to face consequences then we have no middle ground & you can stop there

Will McCarthy simply allow himself to have been used this way and not say anything? Most likely.

Show me ONE source in your examples. I'll save you the trouble. There are NONE. Nothing but baseless allegations. I would think you morons would have learned your lessons with spouting lies with the failures of two scam impeachments and countless investigations--WITH EVIDENCE, that never materialized. I won't even begin to get into the whataboutisms that this could prompt with your fair-haired vegetable, Hilarity, Warren, Piglosi, Harris, Waters, Omar and countless other democrat liars.
