The simple fact is Santos is not as much of an outlier as you might think. Just because the Leftist media and the Democrats, who should have exposed his lies months ago, are now having a cow doesn’t mean there aren’t many others in DC just like him flying under the radar. As mentioned earlier, we have a President that has lies repeatedly over the past many years about his accomplishments that prior to 2020 actually were called out in the media forcing him to drop out of earlier races. DC has changed, and now it is acceptable to pad the resume, and use whatever hyperbole one wants. The only way to hold them accountable is to not vote for any incumbents and create de facto term limits to these people. Without that we get massive insider trading, benefits for family, and all out corruption on the surface.
If what Santos did leads to others also facing the music, then maybe there is a silver lining.
