Santos Challenger Launches First Ad: He’s A Disgrace

AlterNet reports:

A Democratic candidate is taking aim at Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) in hopes of unseating the embattled lawmaker. With a video that highlighted the ongoing controversies Santos is currently entangled in, Kaplan shared her reason for running for office as she emphasized what her main objective is. “George Santos is a disgrace,” the ad begins. It also offered brief details on the latest development about the lawmaker who is now facing federal charges in connection with 13 different criminal offenses including money laundering, misleading campaign donors, and falsely claiming unemployment benefits.

Read the full article. As you’ll see in the ad, in addition to running through a list of Santos scandals, Kaplan includes having officiated early same-sex weddings as among her liberal bona fides. A former New York state senator, Kaplan is so far the most prominent Democrat to end the race.
