and the way he treated and spoke to other people and the fact that he didn t have conversations. he had accusations and he had a way of telling people they didn t know what they were talking about. always politics? yeah. reporter: video appears to show pena at three different trump rallies in d.c. in one clip his name is stitched into his hat and in july 2021, kr, nn video captured a man appears to be pena in the rally crowd. pena would later post a picture of himself as an attendee. a year later pena ran for office as a republican candidate for the state house. he lost last november by a slant sl landslide but pena would not accept an election loss. police say he targeted four democrats to blame finding their addresses and confronting them. so i went to the gate and that s where he was and he seemed agitated. he seemed a little aggressive. i did tell someone about it. they said this guy is a felon. mr. pena orchestrated and made phone calls and hired people to sh
in our politics lead, another day, another acquisition of george santos being a con man. he is denying claims he used a fake animal charity to cont two military veterans santos helped raise for life treatment for a service dog sapphire. we are joined with details on this awful story. he literally was taking advantage of a homeless veteran trying to get money to help his dog? well, that s what it certainly sounds like, jake. the navy veteran was connected with santos who at the time as our viewers know but now goes by different names. he was going by anthony. the dog sapphire had a tumor. santos posted on facebook using george devolder soliciting funds through go fund me for the vet and his dog. the post said will you help this
went through was horrible. it s so difficult to understand a movement where people laugh at police officers protecting the capitol dying or suffering debilitating injuries for the rest of their lives. i mean, i agree with you. that being said, i mean, that s where we are at this particular moment in the aftermath of the trump presidency and again, dealing with these individuals that trump brought into our political system that have taken the republican party hostage. officer fanone, as always, great to see you. thank you so much and thank you for what you did. republican george santos is in the dog house accused of taking thousands of dollars from a homeless veteran trying to get life saving surgery for his dog. new details what police found when looking what police were
mccarthy says this is a distraction for what we re trying to achieve? first of all, i hope we can have a new go fund me. maybe we can get money. buy him a new dog. if he s a wounded veteran, let s get him money anyway. if he is panhandling for anything, she should be taken care of. santos has a right to defend himself. there is foreign legal entitlements. the speaker s position, he has constituents and look the bigger picture, this is a freshman congressman on the small business committee. this is not someone in charge of nuclear secrets. so let s let this play out a little bit and find out exactly what has happened and then i think either congress may take a role in the ethics committee or the voters will. it has to play out in fairness. we learned a lot.
narrow majority and is because they can t appeal to independent voters or broad swath of the electret and hold up as democrats hold up santos. that s not going to get you any more votes. what do you think? not just a headache now for kevin mccarthy but continue to be. these stories are so colorful and acatnip for investigators looking at the state, local and federal level right now. so it s just such a distraction. one other thing about this story is again, because some of george santos cons have been so frankly funny, the volleyball story is hilarious, i think explain the volleyball story. he lied and said he was the star of the volleyball team at brooke college, a college he did not attend. certainly was not on the volleyball team for. that s pretty funny.
