Trump chimed in, making it all about him. He blamed the Republican loss on Mazi not giving Trump enough credit / accolades.

Former President Donald Trump railed against GOP candidate Mazi Pilip after she lost a special election Tuesday in New York for George Santos’ former House seat, blaming her loss on not sufficiently embracing Trump and his “MAGA” supporters—though CNN suggested House Republicans and their inability to pass legislation could also be to blame.
Trump criticized Pilip as “very foolish” for not being more supportive of him on Truth Social, claiming she was “running in a race where she didn’t endorse me and tried to ‘straddle the fence,’ when she would have easily WON if she understood anything about MODERN DAY politics in America.”

This is what Trump posted on Social Media:

“Republicans just don’t learn, but maybe she was still a Democrat?” Trump wrote. “I have an almost 99% Endorsement Success Rate in Primaries, and a very good number in the General Elections, as well, but just watched this very foolish woman, Mazi Melesa Pilip, running in a race where she didn’t endorse me and tried to ‘straddle the fence,’ when she would have easily WON if she understood anything about MODERN DAY politics in America.”​

You gotta think that's one of the safest seats in government right now. No matter what, you're better than the douchenozzle you're replacing.

The post-Cantos era has officially begun.

The losing Republican had Represented a similar district in the past. Solid pick up for team Biden.

Cant really blame people for switching after what he did.

Such a tragedy that a legend like Santos was forced to succumb to the clutches of the deep state

This is what seemed so obvious. By not ousting him immediately upon all of the lies that he admitted to, aren't you just bolstering the swing to go back that much harder the other way?

And that's after giving AIDS to Freddy Mercury

No, no, no. That's when Santos won that Freddy Mercury look alike contest, but it was in Brazil, so there's little record of it. He'll find it for you, and clear his name.

I heard Santos with Mercury's inspiration for Fat Bottomed Girls.
