KFILE: The story of George Santos' improbable rise to Congress began when he fell in with a group of diverse pro-Trump activists
His improbable rise to the House of Representatives started as he joined a group of pro-Donald Trump activists at a time when the House GOP had just been defeated by a blue wave in 2018. He was young, gay and Latino, and appeared on the conservative scene as activists from more diverse backgrounds were gaining more attention and becoming influencers in Republican social media circles.
CNN found no evidence the group formed an LLC or hired an attorney and found no monthly financial reports posted. Members of the group listed as administrators or officers declined to speak with CNN. Santos was listed as an organizer for two events for the group, a GoFundMe that raised $645 for the group’s expenses and a pro-Trump protest in Buffalo, New York, in July 2019 largely organized by other groups.
