George ….. umm well ……. tried.
The nasty exchange started about a New York Post story reporting Santos is expected to announce his reelection campaign on Monday, despite facing calls from within his party to resign over multiple scandals involving lies about his background, including that he is Jewish.
Lafazan, who lost his Democratic primary bid for the House seat in 2022, at one point wrote that he wouldn't need to lie to get elected, unlike Santos. "My credentials are clean, I'm actually Jewish, & unlike yours, my diploma from Harvard is real," he wrote.
That's when Santos responded with a photo of Lafazan and wrote, "Real like your chin?"
The pushback from Twitter was so fierce that some users noted that Santos temporarily turned off replies.
"Real like your resume?" responded one Twitter user. "I'll be donating to Josh," wrote another.
Another noted that many hadn't heard of Lafazan until Santos' tweet. "Now he's got the support of thousands all over the country. You just blew any chance you had left of re-election.……
You should have deleted this tweet!"
