Pre-Election Report Questioned Santos’s “Marriage”

September 7, 2023 Homocons, Republicans

When an outside firm hired by then-congressional hopeful George Santos in 2021 delivered a secret internal report detailing aspects of the candidate’s checkered background, several of his aides found it too much to stomach. They urged Santos to drop out, and when he refused, they quit. Portions of the report, published here for the first time, show that long before Santos’ election, questions had surfaced about his marriage and his alleged ties to “companies that have been accused of fraud and scamming customers.”

The report also questioned “the true circumstances” of Santos’ marriage to ex-wife Uadla Vieira, observing that “she may not have been a green card holder nor legal to work in the United States around the time of her marriage to Santos.” Santos was married to Vieira from 2012 to 2019. “While married to Uadla Viera, Santos appears to have dated and lived with a man named Pedro Vilarva, an undocumented immigrant from Brazil,” the report claims, later adding that at one point Vilarva referred to himself as “Pedro Santos.”

Read the full article. As always with Santos, there is much, much more. No paywall. Earlier this week Santos ridiculed “garbage” reports that he is negotiating a plea deal on 13 felony charges. The former Mrs. Santos has so far eluded requests for interviews. Other reports have strongly suggested Santos was paid to marry her.
