The New York Post reports:
Rep. George Santos is staffing up on Capitol Hill even as he’s gotten the cold shoulder from many Republicans colleagues who want nothing to do with him considering his litany of lies about his personal and professional background.
The hiring spree includes bringing on Viswanag “Vish” Burra, a MAGA world political operative tied to ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon, and businessman Carl Paladino, who attracted fire on the 2022 congressional campaign trail after speaking favorably about Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
A New York Republican familiar with the situation said hiring Burra is hardly going to help Santos make new friends among many more House Republicans considering his links to divisive, far-right figures like Bannon, Paladino and Gaetz.
Read the full article. As you can see in the clip below, Santos’ white power hand sign was very deliberate as he hid his hand until he knew the camera was on him.
