Congressman-elect George Santos' office sends out swearing-in invitations costing $100-$500

GREAT NECK, Long Island (PIX11) — The scrutiny continues for Long Island Congressman-elect George Santos as his office sends out invitations to his swearing-in in Washington.

On Friday, a podcast interview re-surfaced where Santos claimed to have survived a brain tumor. In addition, a local congress member has taken steps to hold future candidates accountable for lying.

He's getting sworn in 10 months before he was elected.
Given the fantasy world he's created, it fits!

since even Republicans seem embarrassed by how blatantly he has lied, so there is a "one night only" vibe. I think they ought to have an NFT to certify the payer saw it - it seems fitting. Or maybe the only people paying for it will be Russians.
