The New York congressman and fabulist George Santos has become a “bludgeoning tool” being used to damage Republicans in Congress, a fellow New York Republican said, as Santos continued to ignore calls from some within his party to resign.

“He is a bludgeoning tool the Democrats are using without regard for truth,” Marc Molinaro, who like Santos won election to the House last November, told Politico in an interview.
