Meet George Santos. He’s a Donald Trump-loving gay Republican currently running to represent New York’s 3rd congressional district who just said 21st century Americans are “going to be remembered as the most barbaric generation to ever live” because of their views on abortion, which he believes is as bad, if not worse, than slavery.
“All of us in this room can agree that when we look at slavery, it was barbaric,” 34-year-old Santos said during a recent event hosted by the Whitestone Republican Club. “Fifty years from now, we’re going to look back at what we’re doing in this country and we are going to say ‘we killed babies out of the womb? We aborted our own? That is barbaric!'”
Comparing a modern, life-saving medical procedure to centuries of involuntary servitude is a false equivalent. But that’s not even the most offensive thing about this guy. There’s a lot about Santos that makes zero sense. Such as…
He’s gay and engaged to a man. Yet he supports “Don’t Say Gay” laws and believes classrooms have become “indoctrination camps for our children.”
How about we take this to the next level?

His parents immigrated from Brazil and he’s the first generation in his family born in the United States. Yet he frequently uses xenophobic dog whistles about “crime and drugs coming across the southern border”, rails against immigrants on social media, and supports Trump’s wall.

Oh, and he believes the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Not only that, but he reportedly attended the pre-insurrection “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6 and he and his fiance attended the New Year’s Eve party at Mar-e-lago in 2020 days earlier.

Santos is running against Robert Zimmerman, a gay Democrat endorsed by the Victory Fund. When asked for comment on his remarks comparing abortion to slavery, Zimmerman said his opponent’s extreme far-right leanings are just another reason why he’s unfit for office.
“It’s such an ignorant and dangerous statement to make,” he told the New York Daily News. “And also, so hateful and disrespectful to women, who have every right to make their own decisions about their own lives. He is more extreme than most Republicans are, and dangerously divisive and radical.”
Regardless of whether Santos or Zimmerman wins in November, it will be the first time a gay man has held New York’s 3rd congressional district seat. According to Five Thirty Eight the district is favored to lean Democrat, although it’s still considered a toss up.

Santos’ lack of self awareness, and his tendency to use the dog whistles and talking points of the corrupt Republic Party should make voters VOTE BLUE in November.

So, wait, what? We weren’t barbarians for the 196 years before the Roe decision? But we’re now barbarians after Roe gets offed. [I know what I’m saying]
Jesus, he’s apparently a self-hating Latino…and a self-hating homosexual. He is also a lapdog for the right. Does anyone know of a good therapist he can see?

Don’t Say Gay is not fiction, sorry. Even if you somehow read the law as not preventing discussion of LGBT issues, it certainly has had that effect at all age groups. It was intended to be harmful to transgender children and will hurt all LGBT students in practice.
There is a legitimate argument that some liberal staff were encouraging way too young children to question their sexuality or gender, but that is not what the law fixed. It just shut everything down, which is so much more harmful.
Being a gay republican is just twisted.

No one is “killing babies out of the womb.” Gawd, the ignorance by the right on anything remotely scientific or procedural is draw dropping. Also there’s no 3rd trimester abortions which have been performed either.
