Rep. George Santos (R-NY) allegedly took $3,000 from an online fundraiser created to raise money for a disabled veteran’s dying service dog, according to reports.

Navy veteran Richard Osthoff was living inside an abandoned chicken coop alongside Route 9 in Howell, New Jersey, in May 2016 when he discovered that his service dog Sapphire had developed a tumor in her stomach, according to Patch. After taking Sapphire to the vet, Osthoff learned the surgery to remove the tumor would cost $3,000.

That’s when a veterinary technician told Osthoff there was someone who could help him get the treatment.

"'I know a guy who runs a pet charity who can help you,'" the technician said, Osthoff recounted to Patch.

This guy has 'Democrat' written all over him.  He's been paying attention to what Dems have been doing for decades.

He is the epitome of the perfect politician.  A roll model, I dare say.

Typical of persons who aspire to Government office these days.

Sure, Santos is a scumbag, but he's our scumbag.

Santos helping McCarthy is just one scumbag helping another.

I feel bad for the Veteran.  What Santos allegedly did was beyond cruel.  False hope is one of life's meanest cruelties - it destroys faith.

I didn't really care that much about his falsifying his campaign resume.

But stealing money from a sick dog?
Folks ain't so forgiving about that.
